DEWALT Mechanics Tool Set, SAE and Metric, 1/2, 1/4, 3/8 Drive Sizes, 192-Piece (DWMT75049)

Very good value, almost all the sizes are standard and deep. Good range of sizes. Very little fluff included in the piece count. The sockets seem to snap into the case well, there were only 3 out of place from shipping. However I'm not using the case long term. If you need a lot of sockets with a nice chrome finish this kit provides incredible value. The only con is the ratchets, they are serviceable but not the best. Personally I am using a different ratchet set and bought this for the vast array of sockets.

The design of this socket set is evidently well thought out and meticulously thorough. The carrying case is made of plastic so sturdy I'd wager you could run it over and it would be fine. Every socket necessary for automotive repair and maintenance is included, save a few edge cases. Each wrench included is not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable to use.The case is very heavy at 37 pounds. However, a portable socket set is highly useful even for the automotive repair amateur. When the case snaps shut, the metal clasps feel secure and the halves connect into a seamless whole. A socket set that can fit into any trunk is invaluable if you find yourself making an emergency roadside repair, either on your own vehicle or someone else's.The contents of this set are extremely robust. There are three wrenches with 1/4 in., 1/2 in., and 3/8 in. drives, allowing for greater application of torque as the situation merits. The 1/4 in. wrench is useful if one needs to get into a tight spot, remove or install a small nut, or simply because it is easier to handle as compared to the larger sizes. Each wrench operates smoothly, ratcheting fluidly during use. There are small divots designed to assist with grip, which can be extremely useful if any fluids have spilled onto the wrench's surface.Also included are sturdy sockets ranging from 5 to 24 mm, as well as imperial sockets that go from 7/16 to 1/2 in. There are also deep sockets in the same sizes, as well as different sets for each drive. There are three sizes of extension for each drive, as well as drive size adapters. Each piece includes a clearly defined ridged area that helps with grip near its base, along with its size stamped on the surface as applicable.One mild flaw with this socket set is the inclusion of hex or "allen" wrenches in standard sizes. These are likely included merely to pad the piece count, as sets of hex wrenches are overabundant among tradesmen. These hex wrenches do not even have ball ends, but they serve as a spare if you find yourself without any hex wrenches for some improbable reason.Sockets for special use cases can be had in other sets, or individually. While this set would have been more complete with a greater variety of sockets, there are already sockets that will not be used often, if at all, in the set. Dewalt likely researched the most common socket sizes and managed to fit a huge selection into this kit, which will serve most use cases adequately. A set for the average person means sacrificing specific for general, expensive for cost effective, and variety for quality.

This set is a perfect starter kit for ANYONE. This will not break the bank and instead of buying multiple different sets which in time you will be spending a lot more separately. This set is all in one from 1/4in to 1/2in with regular to deep well sockets SAE amd metric in all sizes. This would be a great graduation gift, birthday or Christmas gift to an individual wanting to branch to an automotive mechanic or even an DIYer. I bought this for my nephew (17) who recently bought a used car and is learning the basics of a car owner and responsibilities. I extremely recommend, I personally swear by Dewalt they make amazing tools. If I didn't already have 15yrs worth of tools I'd buy this set for myself. Storage is a bit bulky, you may want to invest in seperate bags for each size so your not lugging around every single tool at once.

Best socket set I've ever owned. Has everything you need. Also ALL 6 POINT SOCKETS. EVERY DRIVE, EXTENSION ETC. only other tool is recommend with this is a good 1/2" breaker bar, although I just used a galvanized pipe for leverage on the stuck bigger bolts and the socket handles it like a champ. Also it's extremely durable and I've used it on 5 jobs and still have every socket accounted for in their placement spot. I will say that the more I pull sockets in and out the worse the are holding into the case but this is a minimal complaint but still worth mentioning.

So far this along with a 3/4 tekton torque wrench, has had everything I've needed for projects on my Jeep JL and Harley Softail.I don't have a ton of space in my garage, so it's nice that this stands upright when closed and takes up minimal space. And compared to similar Harbor freight brand sets, this Dewalt set was actually a similar price and shipped to me free with Prime, so thats a plus.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love this set. I keep it with me all the time in my pickup. Handy everywhere.

Well made, good assortment for the price. Was important to me that the ratchets work well, which they do, although they aren't as fine toothed as I would like. Also important that the sockets have the corner chamfers so they don't round out bolt heads and nuts. I appreciate the big, bold size markings.The one mixed blessing is that the case grips the sockets well making it a bit difficult to get them out.
