Review on GEARWRENCH 35 Piece 1/4 Inch Drive MicroDriver Set - The Ultimate Toolkit for Precise Projects by Jonathan Wilson

After looking at two similar sets in Lowe's store I threw them away and got this gearwrench instead because the ratchet is a bit longer (5.1 inches end to end ) and Taiwan v. China (although to be honest with these bits and sockets and what they are used for, country of origin doesn't really matter in terms of quality/suitability). The heads are sewn and processed quite discreetly. the two smallest hex bits, which need a bit of tweaking on the ends of their bits (no big deal, but it can make a difference with some fasteners). The 1/4" socket adapter fell through halfway through, though. It fits with little persuasion, but I have to pry it out at the top with something because I can't get it out properly without pliers - that can be an advantage or a disadvantage, just one small problem It doesn't use small grooves to connect to the spring clip like bits do, instead it slides deep enough that the entire hex body is behind the clip - I can carefully carve a little relief into it and see see if that helps make it easier to remove. I also bought a similar but much better 8" mini ratchet from Vim and the socket adapter is fine (it's a very well made and enjoyable tool to use, and if you don't do need bits/sockets with the tool, it's worth trying them out in 3", 5", 8" or 12". Very nice tool and a level up from Gearwrench here). need always be there for a replacement/warranty which can't be said for the Kobalt label. If you want better quality check out Vim (also made in Taiwan) but this one isn't shabby at all it's tiny and no so well suited for high torque applications. Update: After a few months of fairly heavy use I'm still very happy with it. I put some stupid force on it and removed some 3/8" x 5" screws from the old rivets , it held up great although it wasn't comfortable. ortable with so much torque. I see a lot of feedback on split ratchet heads. I hope that doesn't happen to me, but so far so good.
