EXTOL PREMIUM 8818360 1/4-Inch Socket Wrench Set (45-Piece)

Quality set. Have been using it to work on my car and all the pieces are very high quality, strong and well finished product. Incredible, considering the price. I have been looking for an affordable set like this around the net and it is the best one I have found found so far. All the bits are held in snug, within the foam insert. The box is made of metal, with a good paint finish and a strong and secure latch. Not the flimsy plasticky boxes that break down in a matter of days. Just as the name suggest: a premium product, but at a very good price. Highly recommended.

Reasonably well made kit that offers 13 12 11 10 8 7 & 6mm deep neck sockets (pictured top right corner of photo) and ten shallow sockets ranging from 14mm to 4mm (pictured top left of photo). It also has a universally jointed knuckle fixture which gives access to awkwardly situated nuts, plus a short and long extension bar. In addition you are supplied with 3 varied size flathead screwdriver bits, 7 allen key bits, 7 hex bits, and 3 pozidrive or phillips type bits all designed to attach to the screwdriver handle also included within the kit. In addition you also recieve a hand turnable bar attachment for delicate or once again inaccesable areas within engine bays. The ratchet wrench is fairly short but reasonably well made, and works nice and smoothly through the ratchet. The lever which offers either left or right hand rotation of your socket is a good clean operation, and offers the user a reliable service. My only gripe which i confess i find horribly annoying, is that the spring loaded ball retainer on the end of the ratchet wrench's shaft, is very stiff and grips the socket heads so tightly, that you have a devil of a job removing the heads from the wrench once they're on. Therefore i have to prise them off using a long sturdy screwdriver,which is something i would not expect to need to do on any quality manufactured tool. However this kit is 95% quality and very well made for the price. One very small but very annoying setback makes me give this kit a 4 star rating. Apart from that, the box, the presentation, and the quality of the parts is very good. There appears to be no declaration for the country of manufacture, but the distributor is a company from Romania, so my guess is we are dealing with a tool kit from Bucharesti. All in all, a very good well made kit. Not perfect, not extensive, but a handy car DIY repair kit.

For those that have left reviews suggesting they have to use a flathead screwdriver (really?) to remove the sockets from the ratchet, or you have to use superhuman finger strength of a rock climbing Jazz pianist: It is a button release. As in you press the button on the back, and it releases what's attached to it. It's not exactly uncommon and pretty obvious. But aside from that:Very well put together and usable set, for £16 you're pretty much not going to find better, took an entire dashboard and pedal box assembly to bits and hardly even marked the torx bit.I ordered it at about 7pm and it came next day at lunchtime, it's nice and compact and the case is surprisingly decent quality, at this price you can't go wrong at all.

Great bit of kit but case opens with out any force at all shake it or knock it when carrying it they will be on floor. the tools are tip top tho

None of the sockets would fit onto the ratchet.Tiny ball bearing on end of square was stuck,something a previous reviewer had pointed out.Poor quality set. Returned to Amazon for refund.

Seem a good solid set which was bought not for myself but as a Christmas present. There was one small bit missing but my main complaint was that it is very very very , even extreamly difficult to attach and remove the sockets from the ratchet . Unfortunately it is too late to return the product.

Best small toolkit I’ve purchased. I’ve bought others and this represents the beat value for money. Not huge but great for Motorcycle travel.The case is metal and looks great. The tools are small but work well. 5*

Fantastic value a very useful little kit to have around the house. The case it comes in is really tidy and good quality. The wrench itself is also great as ate all the sockets and screw bits that come with it. Anyone looking for a tidy little socket set for around the house this is a must have at the price
