GEARWRENCH 1/4 in. and 3/8 in. Drive Ratchet and SAE/Metric Standard/Deep Socket Set (68-Piece)

This is a good socket set for carrying around in the trunk for emergencies. It has most of the most commonly used sizes. However, it does not have everything due to keeping it compact. For example, it does not have â…œ” drive deep metric sockets. It has the ¼ drive deep metric sockets, and â…œ” drive standard-depth metric sockets, but not the deep ones. It does have â…œ” drive deep SAE sockets, which I find odd since most cars from the last 30-40 years have been exclusively metric. If there is only room for one row of â…œ” deep sockets, I would rather it be the metric ones. Other than that, this is a good compact set and will prove valuable in emergencies. The ratchets felt comfortable in my hand. They had lots of teeth to give them the maneuverability to be used in tight locations. Everything felt solid and it has a great lifetime warranty.

This is a complete socket set for a serious DIY’er, My old socket set did the job but was never as good as this set. This one has both standard and metric sockets, regular and deep well, and in both 3/8ths and 1/4″ drive sizes. The 3/8ths is perfect for working on cars, lawn mowers and just about anything else. Before getting this set, I had to go out and buy extra sockets just to finish some jobs. Now, everything is here. The sockets are polished and have different markings on the base so you can easily tell if it is standard or metric. I use the 3/8 size mainly but for smaller jobs and tight spaces the 1/4 drive is great. My wife likes them because they fit her hand better and are much lighter. Either way, this is a super set and, with a lifetime warranty, should last you a lifetime. This is a great buy.

Haven’t actually used the sockets yet, but they seem fine. The case, however, stinks. There’s no handle, and interior is not designed to hold all the sockets in place. So if you pick the case up and hold it vertically (as opposed to keeping it flat), many of the sockets fall out of their place.

The socket set arrived with half of the sockets out of place. There is nothing to keep them in their marked spaces. There are no restraints or padding if you move the carrying case in any position other than flat. The carrying case does not have a handle so the consumer must assume that it cannot be carried around with you unless it is lying flat. I was able to remove several bolts and the deep sockets came in handy removing the bolts on a toilet. This set is just not practical for me as I have to carry my tools from place to place. It would work fine for someone who has a tool bench and a place to store it.

These sockets are awesome. They are very durable. I have used several other brands of sockets, this one is definitely one of higher quality. The sockets attach and detach from the wrenches very easily and I can trust they won’t fall off. My complaint comes from the case. Everything fits in the case quite nicely, but after you close the case and flip it on its side to carry, sockets come out of place and you open it to find sockets everywhere. I fixed this by taking part of the cardboard box it comes in and putting it in the box before shutting it, this closes the gap that allows the sockets to move around in the case.The next problem, with the case, is that it doesn’t have a handle. I like my socket boxes to have handles so it is easy to transport/bring anywhere I want to.Minus the case problems, I really like this set. It has most all of the sockets you will ever need.

Has a bunch of different sizes for almost any job.Good material works well so far!

This 68-piece socket wrench set is a nice, compact set that comes in a handy storage case (see picture). I was very pleased with how well the individual sockets were marked with large numbers (see picture), so it is very easy to find the right socket. This set has two different size ratchets (¼” and 3/8″) and extensions (both 3″ and 6″ in each size) for hard to reach places. The ratchets are good length and weight to give you both a good grip and leverage (8 3/8″ and 5″, respectively). The case (see picture) is 16.5″ by 10″ so this will fit just about anywhere and store easily. I note that the case does not have a handle. However, in view of its compact size, I did not find it a problem. It is compact and easy to carry. The sockets are combination of both 12 point deep sockets and 6 point regular depth sockets. I highly recommend this set as being just right for most any job around the house or in the garage!

This set, much like Gearwrench’s other products, is an excellent tool set. The tools are high quality, well made, and it includes just about every socket size you will need for most basic automotive and general use work. The 84 tooth ratchets are very smooth and very good for use in tight spaces. The only drawback to this set is the blow molded case that it comes in. The case, while laid out well and provides easy access, is not ideal for storage. the case seems to be a bit too large as many of the sockets fall out of their slots when the case is anything except for flat and right side up. Due to this, I would not recommend keeping this set in a vehicle unless you like reorganizing and rearranging sockets. The case is the only reason this is not a five star review.

This Gear Wrench socket set is comparable to any high dollar tool set. The chrome finish is excellent. The ratchets are very fine toothed which helps in tight quarters. The metric sockets range from 4 mm to 17 mm, the SAE range 3/16″ to 1 3/16″ deep and shallow style. you get 4 socket extension also. The socket holes are dead center. I got this set to carry on the road for possible repairs.
