DEWALT Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4″ & 3/8″ & 1/2″ Drive

Ms q nada por reponerme el envio q no ava recibido.yego de un da para otro.sin problemas ni retraso alguno . Seve muy buena herramienta Me sera de buena utilidad.les di cinco.estrellas la recomiendo.

This tool set has a good set of inserts for various screwdriver heads, nut drivers, allen keys, and more, both metric and imperial system. I trust the DeWalt name much more than some of the other unknown cheaper brands.

What a pleasant surprise! The pictures don’t do these DeWalt tools justice. These are good quality and sturdy tools. You always see the pictures in the ads and expect the item received is going to be smaller. At least that what I expected for some reason. That’s not the case here. And yes, the case that it comes in is also a good quality, sturdy case. I wasn’t disappointed for the price($115+), quality and name.

Total value. Dewalttough for sure. This set has made its money back 10 times over.

The actual tools and sockets are solid and good quality, However the case they come in is terrible. Every time you open it Sockets fly around everywhere and I have some missing pieces since I opened it one time. When I opened for the first-time sockets were everywhere, so take care to open it with the Dewalt logo facing up.

Update: I am overall pretty happy With this set.

Really great kit. Has almost anything you can think of in a socket set and seems to be high quality. Only thing is I wish the ratchets had a release instead of having to yank the sockets off but that’s no big deal.

Bought this for my husband he says it’s very good and sturdy and will last a lifetime.

EDIT 03/03/2022 – added a Con to the review. Still 5 stars though.

Pros:
– a huge number of tools, everything you need to work on cars! This includes your normal 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ drive sockets (regular and deep) and ratchets and a short AND long extension for each drive size, which is awesome!
– Everything is HEAVY and tough.
– The ratchets are super solid and feed really great in your hand as well. The ratchets do not have a release button, sockets just push on and pull off, but I haven’t had any issues with sockets falling off. I would have to go freeze in my garage to see if there’s a ball detent on them, but they stay on and that’s all I care about. They have 72 teeth (which most quality ratchets start at nowadays), so not as fine control as Snap On’s (ridiculously expensive) ratchets for example, but they feel like really good quality, with no free play.
– includes a set of combination wrenches, and having bought an identical long 14mm wrench from Partsource in the past, I can tell you a single one of these wrenches retails for $10-15 EACH.
– the case is HUGE. When the box arrived at my house, I thought “why did they put it in such a massive box?” It turns out the set is big, and incredibly heavy. I weighed it at 33.5 pounds. This says good things about the quality, but makes it a bit unwieldy to take to a junkyard to get parts for example. The latches are metal, 2 on the front and one on each side. The whole thing feels like it would survive an earthquake or explosion, but man is it heavy.
– YES THE SOCKETS CLICK IN AND DO NOT FALL OUT. I replaced my previous Mastercraft Maximum socket set specifically because all the sockets fell out all the time which drove me insane. I’m not having that problem with this set, thank goodness. If they did fall out, I would have returned this set already. I literally gave my old one to a friend because it annoyed me so much.
– DeWalt Mechanic’s tools come with a FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY, fulfilled directly by DeWalt, just call the number given on their website and they will replace any included tool that breaks FOR ANY REASON. There are no limitations on this as far as I can see, so hammer the wrenches as much as you need to in order to break them rusty fasteners loose!
– the price on this set (247 piece mechanic’s tool set) is different right now, I imagine because all the stock in the Amazon warehouse is cleared out and it’s only third party sellers. When I bought it, the set was $203 with Prime shipping, and I consider that an excellent price for what you’re getting. I searched around at Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc. before purchasing, and this was the best deal anywhere locally or online. If this set comes around at this price again, I would 100% recommend it for anyone who is in the market for a complete set of hand tools.

Cons:
– there is no socket driver attachment for the ratchet, but the bits fit in the 1/4″ SAE socket in case anyone finds themselves in the same situation I did. I would prefer there to be a dedicated receiver for the bits, but that does work.

This is a excellent kit, it is a shame the box doesn’t hold all the parts tight. Each time I open box I open it dewalt up. Otherwise majority of kit falls out.
Even though this kits has this fault I’m still happy with this purchase.

Excellent piece of kit for any home mechanic. Sturdy build quality as you would expect from Dewalt.
