Take a closer look at individual drive connectors

These are not square drives. it's supposed to be square, but that's the only thing it actually has. Why is there a square in some photos like the one I attached? Very dissatisfied. Look carefully what you get.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some little things

Should have bought her sooner.

Capri makes the best heads on the market. That's why I bought this set of triple squares. Very wallet friendly, the bit sizes are accurate, the chrome is excellent and the bits themselves are stronger than my Snap-On, Matco and Craftsman heads. I think I can honestly stop trying other brands for the best baits because I'm sure I've finally found them.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

The sockets are too long for Volkswagen

The only reason anyone would need this is to work with Volkswagen/Audi as nobody else uses this type of actuator, but these sockets are too long, to remove most of the screws. I couldn't remove the rear caliper brace and that was the only reason I got it. Spend $10 more and get a short one piece kit. Your abridged version is still much longer than the entire set. The solid type might not be as durable, but at least it will be able to get the job done.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Minor issues

Better than expected

Better than expected. I bought this rear caliper removal kit for a VW sports car (Mark 6 Golf platform). Access to the bolt heads was very poor and these bolts were difficult to pry out. I was afraid that the socket used from this kit would either rip out the bolt hole or fall off on its own. But I unscrewed them all without damaging the screws, without damaging the bushing. (Note: If you do this job, VW recommends reinstalling new bolts, they're inexpensive);

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

They seem to be suitable for the do-it-yourselfer or weekend warrior but I doubt they'll hold up to professional use. . The bits are a bit soft to the touch, I've noticed rounding of the edges from moderate use on things like VW/Audi axle bolts. Full opening, I used it with 3/8 stroke to open medium thickness fasteners. However, I've put many other bits through much more abuse and haven't seen any rounding or damage.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • It's OK

Really impressive quality tools

The quality of these bits seems incredible, especially for the price! I was really impressed - even with the suitcase they came in! It was a blue blown case with black plastic bumpers on the corners. I'm guessing they were glued on, but it could have been some other secondary operation. If anything, the beats themselves appear to be of exceptional quality. It will be interesting to see how they hold up after years of use, but my first impression is that they are great tools! I'll look for Capri

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Security

Good Consumer Kit

Bought this set for occasional use. When disassembling a set of two BBS wheels I removed 60 m8 socket head screws with no heads stripped. However, the boarding is a bit loose for my taste. They definitely don't fit like any snap-on tool. The slits are not chewed, but the coating is already beginning to peel off. For the handyman who wants to do some work over the weekend this would be a great set. But with professional use I wouldn't expect them to last more than a few months. If I worked forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • boring packaging

Bits work well but are large - UPDATE

These bits worked as expected where there were no space constraints. The only downside I've had with using these bits is that they're too big for many of the under-hood bottlenecks. I tried using them to remove one of the transmission and coolant line bolts on a 2009 VW, these bits were too long - I had to use extra short OTC socket bits. UPDATE (11/2015): I've used bits a few times since my initial review where lack of space wasn't an issue. These bits are some of the strongest and mostโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • No

Quality tools at a great price

I bought these bits to work on my friend's 2017 VW Beetle. If you are looking for a special tool to remove the skid plate and change the oil, this is it. I usually determine which class of tool to buy based on how often I need it and how critical it is to the job. Tools for infrequent use are usually cheaper. "Mission Critical" and frequently used tools are usually located at a higher level. I bought these beats thinking I would rarely use them so I didn't want to spend a fortune on Snap On orโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Faulty
