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.

After having this set for s few years now, I couldnt imagine working without one. I must have for any toolbox! (Also consider the set that has 1/4" pass-thru drive as well as the 3/8" which is also available on Amazon.com).

Picked this set up for a coil-over suspension install I was doing on my 03 Audi A4.
This ratchet was able to fit into places a standard ratchet would not and I was able to remove the nut on top of the strut with this ratchet while I passed a Allen key though the center to keep the strut shaft from spinning.

Quality seems good, didn't have any rounded edges ofter using them all weekend on suspension components which require a good amount of force to break free.

For the price everyone should have this kit in the garage.

The set is pretty handy, but don't be fooled by the warranty. My 3/8" drive socket wrench broke under very light use, and when I tried to get a replacement, I was told that the handle was on backorder and that it would be a few months until a replacement would be available. No specific date, just sit and wait and something may eventually turn up. I offered to swap out the whole set, or drive to a store to make a swap, but since my set was a gift I was out of luck. My experience in this area has always been with Craftsman, where you can drive to a store and walk out with something to get you up and running no matter what...even if they have to upgrade you. The GearWrench Warranty is not comparable at all.

If you haven't used a pass-through socket wrench, you're making some situations way too hard for yourself. And, this set a very good one for the price.

I found this while searching for a specialty tool that I needed to complete a job on a Ford. I was amazed by the design and decided to give it a shot. It was worth it since the one socket that I needed from Ford was twice the price of this entire kit. The socket set worked perfectly and I really liked the design that the company produced. I have used this on a few other jobs that required specialty sockets and was glad that I ordered this as soon as I saw it on Amazon. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I was looking for a metric only set before since i didn't want to carry around extra bits, but i settled on this one. It only weighs may be 50 grams more than a craftsman 3/8 socket wrench and the extra volume doesn't make it noticeable. It does create a more shallow profile than other wrenches, but i did not test out the deep socket capabilities on it. The sockets seem to have less or equal giggle play in it than the craftsman too.

I wanted to use this as the "one" to pull out to do most jobs. I think it would do that well if it came with a 8mm socket. So i just got a standard 8mm and hooked it up to the adapter and store it in the convenient compartment where the handle rests. The price was good and I wanted a full set with a case instead of scouring the bottom of a bag for tools. I can attest to the quality as well. To be honest I couldn't stop staring at it since i bought it! It is my first wrench and socket box set and it looks so foreign compared to the traditional sockets and wrenches i have been using.

I don`t know what to say except this is an excellent tool and price . You will find a lot of practical uses for it such as on threaded rod or it`s must to take bumpers of newer mercedes benz vehicles , unless you want to spend a fortune on specialty tools

I looked long and hard before ordering a socket set. I love this set, great range of sizes and extensions, great price, and great technology in allowing a bolt to go right through the hollow setup. This is a solid set. Highly recommended.

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.

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.
