This is very nice and complete set of sockets! For home use, I almost use gearwrench sockets exclusively. The quality to cost in my opinion just can’t be beat. They carry a lifetime replacement warranty for the sockets (I believe). I think replacements are handled by mail when you contact their customer care team. Not as convenient as driving to the local tool store to exchange, but honestly I’m not concerned. I have never broken a socket in my life, neither home use or professionally. Use the correct socket for the application, torque, etc., and quality tools usually won’t fail. This is a great set, and I would highly recommend them. I also have the complete 1/4 and 1/2 sets in addition to this 3/8 set. I can’t speak much to the ratchet as honestly I mostly use my Matco ratchets I have because of the longer handles and flex heads. But the included ratchet does seem like a quality piece, just haven’t really used it. I purchased this set primarily for the sockets anyway.

This is an excellent kit, particularly for the price. I'm not an everyday user, but I do work on cars from time to time. I already had the GW 1/4 and 3/8 kit, so it was a no-brainer for me. GearWrench is a solid brand. In general, the GearWrench sockets are better designed, and better machined than Craftsman, Husky, or Cobalt. The ratchet-side corners, in particular, have a much larger radius, which reduces stress and cuts back on the chances of cracking. The case lid can be removed, so you can set the now-open tray in 2 inch drawer in a roll-away. The 120 tooth ratchet is buttery smooth that, for all practical purposes, basically eliminates the need for even having 12 point sockets. Not only does that save money and space in your toolbox, but six points are inherently much stronger. The kit has 3 and 5 inch extensions, which is kind of weird, but effective. The extensions are not wobble-type, which is unfortunate, as the GW wobbles are simply head and shoulders above other off-the-shelf products. There is also a common, ordinary u-joint. Interestingly, the GW deep wells are broached for the nut only to the depth of the fastener. This adds strength to the design and is extremely useful for feeding a nut in an upward direction. Craftsman deep sockets are generally broached to a depth of an inch or more. This is less strong and more difficult to feed a nut into position. The Craftsman design does, however, give you quite a bit more freedom of movement (slop) to latch on to a nut set all the way in on a long bolt in a hard-to-get-to place. Back to the GW, the box says made in Taiwan and these carry a lifetime warranty. If you are a tool truck kind of guy, these aren't for you, but if you are looking for something better than the local hardware store, this is the ticket.

I absolutely love the Gearwrench socket sets! I initially bought the ½â€, 3/8â€, and ¼†set for the roll around in the shop because the Gearwrench sets have the greatest size ranges, both metric and standard, of any other set that I have found. This meant that the only sizes not in the case are the 27mm, 30mm, 32mm, 33mm, and 36mm that we use commonly use around the shop so inventorying the tools after a job is easy! I know that some people have complained that there is not a ball lock, or more to the point, a button to release the ball lock and the sockets could come off of the ratchet. So far, this has never been an issue.The 120 tooth ratchets are strong and I have had no issues at all with them. They definitely work well in tight areas where one can only get a small throw with the handle. As for durability and the finish, they are outstanding. These tools get used everyday, and for the last two and a half years, we have not had any issues (other than a 5/16†socket that grew legs). I finally opted to replace my old Craftsman set I had in my Jeep with the Gearwrench sets because of how complete they are and I can keep track of the tools when doing maintenance on the trail. I recommend them to anyone from an occasional wrench turner to a legitimate mechanic. They are very reasonably priced and IF they break, there is the lifetime warranty.

I love this set, my second in the GearWrench XP series. No missing sizes, everything clearly labeled, high quality at a very reasonable price.As other reviewers have mentioned, the case is indeed flawed. When mine arrived, the contents had been jumbled so much that the case was bulging and the latches were about to pop. This caused an already flawed case to be distorted and even more worthless. The lid will never seal around the edges because of the way the lid warped under this pressure.The problem with the case is that the bottom tray is suspended, having only one 'column' to support it (notice the 'hole' under the ratchet - this creates a point where the tray is supported by the base of the case). The other two thirds of the base can be easily pressed down, creating too much space for the contents to move around.My solution was pretty simple. I had a toggle bolt laying around... I used the toggle to create a second 'column' to support the tray. Then, I cut out some cardboard to fill additional dead space in the lid.Now, I have a sturdy case and everything stays in place after shaking it around as hard as I can. YAY!GearWrench - this is a seriously dumb problem to be losing stars for. Fix your case design!

The socket range (metric and us) should provide coverage for 99% of what I need or will need. Plus, the updated case holds the sockets in-place, even when stored upside down. The case also has well labeled socket slots for socket sizes. FYI... I gifted my 20 year old 1/4" and 3/8" socket set to someone, which is stored in a plastic case with sections for sockets, ratchets, and other items, which fits their occasional use needs.

Muy buen juego de dados, bastante completo, y con buen acabado, la matraca tiene un ángulo de giro muy cerrado, perfecto para lugares de difÃcil acceso, y su perfil muy bajo, con buena calidad de acabado, en general bastante contento con la compra, lo único malo fue el case, que llegó algo maltratado, por los dados que se acumularon en el centro por el transporte, y se quedó abombado en el centro, habrá que enderezar lo.

I'm a big fan of the Gearwrench ratchets and their sockets. I have 84 std and extended in 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 as well as a full set of 120xp. All have exceeded my expectations.I've been upgrading my tool box to Gearwrench over the past few years.These like their other sockets grip tight and resist slipping.I like the size etching and knurled metric and smooth SAE finish so at a glance you know what you have.The case is a nothing special but I have socket rails in my tool boxes I use instead for all my sockets.This set does not dissappoint for my use.
