Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Mechanics Socket Set by Amazon Basics, 145-Piece by Herve Latreche

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highly recommended. for power tools and hand tools

For those just getting into driving, this tool box is just what you need. It's affordable yet durable for easy repairs. I can't stress enough how often this box included a tool that wasn't included in many of the more expensive boxes. If you only change spark plugs, belts, brakes, exhaust, etc. then this is for you. If you're using this for a suspension or something that requires a lot more torque, it might be best to look elsewhere. As your test dummy, I used this set for everything I could. To be fair I have rebuilt many Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen etc suspensions with these tools and finally after 1.5 years 2 ratchets broke due to the intense training I put them through. I would definitely say that they held their price. All of my sockets are in perfect condition and none have broken yet. My only issue with this box is that the screwdriver bit adapter is not magnetic and the bits can just slip out. I bought a magnetic bit adapter to replace the one in the box. Overall I really like this box and will continue to use it until I quit. I wish my ratchets lasted more than 18 months, yes. But for the price, you can't beat it.

Pros
  • Polished chrome socket wrenches and sockets for corrosion protection
Cons
  • No paint required
