Revision from 12/21/2020. Beware, big problems with ratchets

I called Dewalt and told them about two ratchets that didn't work. They were replaced free of charge and appeared in the house after 2 weeks. It's not a cheap set, but unfortunately that's how it works. Bought in 2019 but lasts about 6 months before the ratchets wear out, wouldn't recommend. The 1/4 jack is blocked and you cannot switch. The 3/8 socket shifts by itself when pressed. Very rough action on the ratchet, not a smooth click.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

DWMT72165, 204 pcs

All parts are as stated, 3/8 ratchet is defective right after the bolt, 12 wrenches appear to be bent and the lettering/pattern embossing has each wrench even more deformed. The wrenches appear to be improperly designed or have heat treatment issues during their manufacture. Wrenches will work fine, but they don't look good at all. The 'Contact Us' option on their website seems to be disabled, looks like I'm going to run into trouble trying to replace the ratchet and finding out about broken…

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Fits

Quality tool kit best of Sockets and Socket Sets

So there were DeWalt tools on sale and I told myself I "needed" a mechanical tool kit. Let me tell you: it has pretty much every key the average person needs when working on their car. It has extension cords galore. Sockets, ratchets and wrenches feel solid. Each piece has real weight. This is a great item as the weight, in my opinion at least, makes me feel like I have a quality tool set that will last. . Like I bought it thinking I could just throw it in the trunk of my little civilian car. I

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Good but not great

Excellent starter kit for the money. I bought this to replace a tool box that was stolen from my garage. The first thing that struck me was the quality of the case blow molding. They definitely excelled in that department. I usually throw blow boxes in the trash so I don't lose my tools, but this one is worth keeping. It is durable with strong hinges and latches. It also holds the tools in place, which is unusual for blow boxes. I only have two annoyances with this set that are minor. Ratchets…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

and on the seventh day.

and on the seventh day there was no rest. Instead, God created this set of Dewalt heads. all-around kit that a do-it-yourself auto repair/rebuild and/or do-it-yourself auto mechanic MUST have in their arsenal of household tools. You'll never have to buy a socket, ratchet, or accessory again, except maybe a very large socket for something unique like an axle nut that's specific to the car you're working on and was never included in a kit except for the axle nut headset. Extensions, swivel…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Great sockets but take some big wrenches to complete the set

This is a very good starter kit for someone looking for a mechanic's tool kit. Nozzles are of high quality, socket wrenches are very handy. The set is incredibly heavy, and that's definitely not due to bloated plastic. There's a lot of steel here, and it seems to be the springy, hard, ductile steel you'd like to see in a set of sockets. I've done some tricky jobs with it with no problems. There are several design flaws in this toolbox. First, the torx drive and hexes (which are really cool and…

Pros
  • Nice pack
Cons
  • Can't remember

So Dewalt changed this kit without updating the feature list (or model number) to reflect the pennies that were made with it. The original kit came with "deep laser engraving for easy nest size identification" as currently advertised on Dewalt and Revain's own page. About a year ago it was decided to switch to a cheaper marking method instead of etching; without transferring changes to customers or changing the model number. The ratchets are also of lower quality than the original (the original

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later

and on the seventh day there was no rest. Instead, God created this set of Dewalt sockets. This set is the standard by which all others should always be measured. A do-it-yourself auto repair/remodeler and/or home improvement MUST have household tools in his arsenal. You'll never need to buy sockets, ratchets or accessories ever again, except maybe a very large socket for something unique like an axel. a nut that is specific to the vehicle you are working on and has never been included in any…
