GEARWRENCH 49 Pc. 1/2" Drive 6 Point 120XP™ Standard & Deep SAE/Metric Mechanics Tool Set - 80700P

Juego de herramientas muy practico y de buen tamaño. Tiene todas las medidas que más se utilizan. Todos los dados y llaves están bien hechos, no tienen imperfecciones.

I have all sorts of big and brand ratchets off the big namebrand tool trucks and these gear ratchets and sockets are just as good in my opinion as the Matco tool brand and the Mac tools and some of the snap on. I seen a couple complaints about the case in the reviews before I purchase this item and now I’ve had it for a couple of weeks I don’t really see any problem with the case I think it’s a good set up.

Great products, rivals snap on at fraction of price. Doesn't skip sizes.

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.

Here we are a year and a half later, and I honestly have to say this is the best socket set I’ve ever purchased out of all the sets I’ve bought over the years. The case is small & compact, so it doesn’t hoard room in my truck, and is easily put in my motorcycle tour pack for those small service calls. The case, and tools are holding up to constantly being moved around, and drug in and out of sites with caustic chemicals. 5 out of 5 with no regrets!
