What people says?

This is always the first socket set I grab out of my tool cart when working on vehicles and such. The thinner walled sockets dont stick out as far making them fit into spots other socket/ratchet combos just wont. The pass-thru system makes the need for deep well sockets obsolete. These are great for just about any occasion, thier only limit is if you need a very long extension to reach something. Other than that, they are ideal for automotive work and more. jones

I just purchased these tools and they seem to be a very good deal considering they have a lifetime warranty. As you would guess by the price these tools are made in China. If you’re like me most of my tools are made in the USA, Germany or Japan. These tools are perfect for the average handyman. I’m not sure if I would use these everyday considering the metal on the socket walls are relatively thin. The concept and design is fantastic and ergonomics and balance are good. If you’re planning on using these everyday, I’d probably opt for Snap On, MAC or Hazet tools. The fine tooth ratchet mechanism is good but not sure how durable it is. For the money you could by 2 or 3 sets when compared to Snap On. If you still have doubts and are on a budget just run to Sears and get some Craftsman, you won’t be disappointed. will

This tool is definetly a life save if you ever need to tighten nuts. This will work when other ratchet and socket combination are not long enough. This tool has two major draw backs is the sockets are stubby preventing you from working in tight spaces and finding individual sockets for replacements is difficult. plumber
