GEARWRENCH 3/8 in. 120XP SAE/Metric Standard and Deep Mechanics Tool Set (56 PC.)

I don’t know why I waited so long before getting a set like this. I used to get by with my old set but had to go out sometimes to buy a socket because I didn’t have the right size. Now everything is here in one box. This set has everything. Deep well and standard sockets in both SAE and metric. It comes with 2 extensions and a short throw ratchet. It only has to move a very short distance for the ratchet to engage. Perfect for tight places. The set is fully polished and has a Lifetime warranty. The sockets are 6 point which I know hold better than 12 point sockets. A super set for the serious DIYer. The only piece that I would like to see in the set is a breaker bar. Other than that, this set is worth getting because it has everything and should last you a lifetime. A great buy at a great price.

Nice well built case

I have gotten several tool sets over the years and naturally some sockets get misplaced or lost so i jumped at the chance to get another tool set. This is a 3/8 drive with both metric and sae sizes. The case that it comes in is not the best as my sockets fall out of their place. The tools themselves seem to be of a very nice quality with a good weight to them and a nice hand feel. The ratchet handle has a very short stroke to it so you are able to get a good turn on a bolt when you have limited space. Overall i am pleased with this set.

I’m totally happy with these sockets, every piece is cosmetically perfect. It’s hard to find affordable deep sockets with a shallow broach depth like these. The 120XP ratchet feels really smooth and precise, hope it holds up.

The primary reason I got this 56-piece socket set by GearWrench was because it came with a case for storing the sockets, ratchet and extensions. I had hoped that the case would allow me to carry the set around with me while I work. Unfortunately, I discovered that the lightweight blow-molded case-as I received it-is not good for carrying the pieces unless I keep it flat. Everything in the case is liable to come out of the recessed holders when I carry the case by the handle. Then, when I open the case, the pieces are jumbled about and it takes some effort to locate the sockets I need. My solution to the carrying problem was to cut a couple pieces of 1/8-inch-thick corrugated cardboard to fit inside the lid. The presence of the cardboard (for the most part) keeps the parts in their holders when I carry the case by the handles. When I find a piece of dense foam rubber of the right thickness, I will cut it to size, glue it to the lid, and discard the cardboard. The 3/8″ drive sockets are sized as follows-SAE (fractional): 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8″ 6-point deep sockets; 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1″ 6-point shallow socketsMetric: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 , 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 mm 6-point deep sockets; 6, 7,8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 , 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 mm 6-point shallow socketsThe extensions are 3″ and 6″ longThe universal joint is 2″ longThe 120-position ratchet has a 3/8″ drive tangI’ve found the ratchet handle to be remarkably comfortable. It’s 5/8″ in diameter (round handle) with a fluted knob at the end.The product box states that the set has a lifetime warranty. Since the manufacturer’s name is not on the case or parts, I made a note of it: Apex Tool Company, in Sparks, MD. Their website is http://www.gearwrench.comThe set was made in Taiwan.

This Gear Wrench 3/8 socket set has both SAE and metric sockets. The set includes both deep well and standard sockets from ¼ inch to 1 inch in the standard sockets and ¼ – 7/8 in the deep well sockets. The metric sockets from 6 mm- 19 mm in both standard and deep well. The set comes with a black hard plastic carrying case. The case doesn’t hold the sockets in place unless it is carried flat. If you tip it or roll it over there are a few sockets that you will need to put back in place. The set comes with a ratchet, two extensions, and a swivel. Since this Gear Wrench socket set has a lifetime warranty it will give a home owner many years of use.

Fair price. Arrived fast. Was what it said it was.

Have not used these wrenches for enough time to give them a full review, but so far they are doing just what they state they can.

This is a nice set. The case is 16 inches wide, 10 inches top to bottom and 2.5 inches in height. The value is there compared to quality-named tool kits. There is no carrying handle. What I noticed right away is the metric and SAE sockets are marked; the metric have a metal-etched band around the sockets. The SAE are plain. You can tell which a socket is by looking. One thing I am unsure of is after a year of use, the small etched socket size may become indistinguishable. The size stamped onto the sockets is very small; it looks superficial. Time will tell. I would not let this scare you. The sockets themselves have a superior gripping design that transfers more force from the socket onto the head of a bolt. Thus the sockets have little chance to break and they grip bolt heads much better. The socket coding, the socket design, and the lifetime warranty make this kit the one to buy. The box itself is solid; there are two panels so the case will last. The clips to open/close are of thicker plastic. They will last. I have bought cheap sets and the cases crack, the latches break, and sockets spill out. This set makes that an impossibility under normal use. The socket wrench feels solid, and balanced in my hand. There are short and long sockets. The switch on the wrench is slightly recessed which is a good thing. here are short and long sockets. Overall, I am impressed with the price point, the quality, and selection of sockets for this kit. I recommend it.

Over all good and tough
