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

Excellent set! Regardless of the price, it's just an added bonus. I like the thicker Dewalts grips (I've had 3/8" and 1/2" drive sets before) with a ratchet for all-day comfort. Especially on cold days, when arthrosis occurs, you don't have to clutch your hand so tightly. It also helps if you have to over-tighten the screw to pry it out (I know you don't do this with a 1/4" drive).

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…

The positive first: The ratchet is very comfortable to hold and feels high-quality. It's a bit small, but it's good for many use cases. Socket quality looks good, although long-term use will tell. There are some issues that make me regret buying this set: People are looking for combo sets. However, it does not include the 5.5mm socket required for the very common M3 nut size (it does include a 6mm head for the very uncommon M3.5 size). Therefore, it appears that no DeWalt engineer considered…
