VERY nice socket sets
I bought one set of these socket sets. I like that set so much that I now own six complete sets: the 6 pt and 12 pt in 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4". I like the wrenches much better than my vintage Craftsman tools. The cases are nice too. I took the lids off of the cases and have them stored in 44" US General tool cabinets. It keeps them organized. They are easy to find, and I don't have to purchase socket organizers this way. Anyway, these are high quality wrenches and I am looking at more Gearwrench tools to add to my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great design, construction, feel and value
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017
Style: 49 piece - 6 pointVerified Purchase
My craftsmen socket sets were stolen, and now I'm glad they were. The Gear Wrench socket sets I bought to replace them are FAR better in just about every way. The action of the ratcheting pawls in the socket wrenches themselves is way smoother, and they have a greater number of teeth so that the wrenches don't have to be turned as far to engage the next pawl. The handles are round and feel good in the hand when torquing hard. Having a variety of wrenches--long, stubby, wheel drive--in the 1/4" and 3/8" drive kits (but not the 1/2") has proven to be very handy. And the sockets themselves are terrific, getting positive grip on nuts and bolt heads. I like these sets better than my dad's snap-on sets. They are great quality and well designed--and they are a great value too, especially with the lifetime warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent set.
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2010
Style: 49 piece - 6 pointVerified Purchase
I bought this set because I needed a high quality, heavy duty yet comfortable set of 1/2" drive sockets. And that's exactly what I got with this product. The entire set is highly polished with heavy chrome so it looks and feels great. Although I love this socket set, I do have two cons...the ratchet wrench does not have a quick release feature; in fact many ratchet wrenches in the Gearwrench line don't have quick release. With the 1/2 inch drive it's not a real big deal because the sockets are so heavy they are easily removed, but it would be more important for the smaller size drives. Almost every other manufacturer incorporates quick release, so I can't understand why Gearwrench doesn't on some of their sets. The other con is that the well made case does not have a handle. This set weighs 18 lbs, so why is there no handle? Makes carrying the tools more difficult from my tool room to the work site. The case is only 2 1/2 inches tall though, so it fits in tool drawers easily. Also the latches are very strong and when opened, stay opened. There is nothing flimsy about this product. As I said though, the tools are exceptional and I got the quality I was looking for. So much so, that I also purchased the 3/8 inch set.

This socket set weighs a ton and feels great in your hands. Solid connections on fasteners, smooth ratcheting action. It should last a lifetime, or until I accidentally drop it overboard, whichever comes first. Feel way better than my craftsman set and rivals my smaller Snap On socket wrench.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great socket set!
Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2016
Style: 30 piece - 6 pointVerified Purchase
I ordered this set for working on airplanes, and I got it for $ 53. At time of writing it is listed at $112, so I'm happy with the price I paid. Even if the quality wasn't nice, 53 bucks for this much steel seems like a decent price. The quality does seem to be quite good though - the chrome appears to be even and isn't flaking, even inside the sockets, and the sockets have a sort of curved hex shape which helps them grip the fastener without rounding it off.

The ratchet that came with this set also seemed quite good, but I sold it to a friend and replaced it with a Snap on ratchet. Honestly though, the ratchet that came with this set seemed comparable to the Snap on in terms of smoothness of operation, and it actually had more teeth and a slightly longer handle than the Snap on, for significantly less money. If you're not a professional, this ratchet will probably be all you'll ever need in a 3/8 non-flex head style. If you are using it to make a living, it will probably serve you well while you get started, at least.

This set covers a pretty big range of fastener sizes, so if you have this and a 1/4 inch drive socket set, you'll probably have most of what you will ever need covered.

Additions you could make to your 3/8 collection after buying this set could be an adapter to allow you to use 1/4 inch drive sockets, a breaker bar, and maybe a flex head ratchet for tricky places. This set is definitely a good start, though.

Another small tip I have is that the case that this ratchet set comes in has the sizes of the sockets printed on it in raised numbers, but they're the same color black as the rest of the case, so they can be tough to read at a glance in low light. I used a white paint marker and painted them so they'd be easier to read, you can see how it looks now in my photo.

Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2021
Style: 57 piece - 12 pointVerified Purchase
Great 12 point set with shallow and deep metric and SAE sockets, ratchets are tight and work well in small spaces due to a greater amount of teeth. Some folks I know compare this to Snap-off, I would say it feels pretty close.

great set for any mechanics, I use mine in the heavy duty industry, they hold up well so far.

The quality of this set is good, the rachet is low profile and smooth the sockets have no issue with a nice mirror chrome finish and the case is sturdy, however i removed them from the case and have them on socket rails to take up less space in my tool box however the only problem is i ordered the 6 point version and they are all 6 point except the 3/4" shallow socket is a 12 point which im sure someone accidentally mix it up so not a big deal, thats the only reason i did not give 5 star
