DEWALT Impact Socket Set with Ratchet, Metric/SAE, 1/2" Drive, 23-Piece Set with Case (DWMT74739)

i got this as a way to start out my 1/2" impact socket set w the basics for mm / sae. it was on sale for black friday so i got it on a helluva deal which was all the more incentive.. its got your basic most used sizes in the reg/short style sockets. and i can easily add on to this as they offer deep/tall impact socket sets that will match w this fairly well. plus you can just buy singles for those odds n ends that arent included but youd like to have.the quality of build on these are top notch, hefty solid sockets that immediately upon holding u can tell will stand up to whatever you throw at em. the si,es on the socket walls arent the hardest ever to see,, but theyre most certainly not the greatest when it comes to visibility; but you can see them no prob all the same so its of no concern.the sockets have a cutout hole for ball detends which is nice so these wont pop off easily. and when situating them on a impact wrench w a hog ring, they sit down the anvil very well.. some ive seen will only get halfway down n get caught up but not these. the ones ive tried so far all have a solid tight grip so no wobble from the wrench or impact, and the hex head side is very solid too which is good as they wont tend to slip as much as if they were more wide open.the wrench itself is biig. not overly big but big and solid. the ratcheting mechanism is very very fine quality w at least a 70 tooth (if not more) drive head.smooth operation and the switch between forward and backward is very positive; no half steppin here.I love how it comes in these Dewalt set cases, as i have several from other previous sets like the ratcheting wrench sets, or 1/4" socket sets.. they all comnect together well and are easy to carry connect and see into... i just wish these cases were compatible with Dewalts toughcase+ /tstak lines,, it seems they dropped the ball on that one by changing the formua...which is even more a downer seeing as they have 2 other 1/2" impact socket sets w the deep Metric and deep standard sets and it woulda been great to have those all sitting on top of my tstak drawers w toughcases conneted on the top for a complete set ... but i guess ill live ..all in all its a great set for the price, the quality and value are well worth it, and they dont seem like theyll let u down anytime within this decade

Nice set of sockets. Easy to tote around. Not cheaply made. Would recommend.

I mistakenly ordered this black set without realizing they were "impact" sockets with the rough surface texture and the retention hole. The ratchet is smooth black chrome, and I love it. Great feel, comfortable handle (these would be true of the regular chrome finish version), and very nice looking in its black chrome finish! Too bad the non-impact socket set isn't available in this great-looking black chrome finish! (I returned the impact version and bought a regular set. Happy with it.)If you wanted impact sockets, this seems like a very nice set at a reasonable price. (And the ratchet is great!)

Let me start by saying that I purchased this set with the intent of having a small socket set to keep in the trunk for roadside emergencies. Being that my Corolla uses metric fasteners, I wanted a kit that had a decent range of sizes. After comparing several similarly sized and priced sets, this one seemed to offer the best versatility and price. I decided to replace the 7/8" and 13/16" SAE sockets with 20mm and 21mm sockets, respectively, to increase the upper size range of the metric set.Unfortunately, while attempting to remove a caliper bolt this weekend, the ratchet gears have bound up. While attempting to break the bolt loose, I heard a *click*. I looked at the ratchet to find that the direction lever was now in the middle, and it could not be moved left or right. The socket would not turn left or right either. I was very surprised at the notion that a Dewalt brand tool would fail under such low stress. Fortunately, I had my Kobalt set nearby to finish the job.Aside from the paperweight of a ratchet, the rest of this set is really nice. You get a pretty wide size range of metric and SAE sockets, a low profile case, good quality sockets with nice size label engraving on them, and a bit of extra space under the organizer tray to store additional items. Another reviewer here mentioned that the clear plastic lid of the case was flimsy and will likely not last long, however, I'm of the opinion that it should be sufficiently durable for being kept in a trunk or in a drawer as a backup set.The space underneath the the plastic organizer that the tools are nestled in can be used to store additional items. In there I have two large sockets (the original 7/8" and 13/16" sockets from this set that I swapped for more metric sockets), a 10" long ⅜" extension, a 6" long ⅜" extension, and a 3" long ⅜" extension. There is enough space that you could fit a few more small accessories in there as well.The box advertises Dewalt's Limited Lifetime Warranty, so I'm going to try to reach out to Dewalt customer support and see if they'll replace the ratchet. I really like the rest of the kit, and I'd rather not send the whole set back through Amazon's return process if I don't have to. I'll update this review if I hear back from Dewalt or Amazon.UPDATE 07/20/22:After explaining the situation to Dewalt customer support by email, Dewalt shipped a replacement ratchet, which arrived in about a week and a half. The new ratchet functions fine so far, perhaps I just happened to get a dud the first time around. 5 stars to Dewalt's customer service team for honoring the advertised warranty and issuing a replacement without any hassle.

Perfect, professional, and high quality
