Review on Durable DEWALT Drive Socket Set, SAE and Metric, 1/4-Inch Drive, 25-Piece (DWMT73805) by Robert Yates

Revainrating 2 out of 5

worst ratchet i have ever had many important metric sockets are missing

only 5 of this set ie one set 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and one set 3/ 8" deep sockets for use in my new aircraft hangar. I love the modular inner boxes, often you don't know exactly what size the nut should be, so it's easy to take one of the modular boxes on a plane and try it out. constructed ratchet. All of them, 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". When loosening the lock nut or tightening, the ratchet is placed in the palm of your hand and works quickly almost every time that little lever is toggled by left to right or vice versa and then you can't even switch back without removing the tool from the nut being machined so switch the lever and dive back behind that plate and try again what a pain worst Design of all times. The 3/8" ratchet is already out there, I'm sure I'll find better ones for others. Also poor quality control. The 1/4" set included two 3/8 nuts but no 7/16 nut. I wonder if DeWalt will read this and send me a new one. Revain can only replace the entire set, what a pain. And besides, the set is very bad. Compared to 3/8" and 1/2" this box seems half empty. The metric sizes are clearly missing the 4.5mm, 5.5mm, 6.5mm and possibly 7.5mm heads M3, M4 nuts etc. Luckily I have a cheap alternative socket set who has those sockets (and has a much better 3/8" ratchet!).

Pros
  • elegant design
Cons
  • long shipping
