Review on Duratech 24-Piece Metric Socket Wrench Set With 3-In-1 Ratchet Handle, 3 Extensions & 20 Sockets For Auto Repairing, 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" Drive - Top Choice For Efficient Repairs by Kent Kings

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Couple of minor issues, but overall a decent emergency set to have in the vehicle

This is a a good lower-end ratchet and socket set to have in the vehicle. Material and workmanship are good.Pros:-Build quality generally looks and feels good. Action is smooth.-Firm ratchet retention ball, sockets will not fall out.- Good selection of sockets- I'm counting 72 teeth (allows you shorter turns when needed)Cons:- The multiple drive system on a single ratchet make the ratchet head 2 1/2" tall. if you are trying to get in a tight space this could be a problem. Using it in 3/8 for example I am not able to get at quite a few nuts on my jeep than my normal 3/8 ratchet will fit in. Effectively it is like you have a 1" extension on at all times, when sometimes that can prevent at getting at fastener.- The multiple size system of having a 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drives on a single ratchet has another problem. When for example, using1/2 drives, the fact that the drive tang of the 1/4" system sits above 1/2" tang means the 1/4" projects into all the 1/2 drive socket. If you are using the 1/2" 22mm socket, the 1/4" drive is projecting into the 22mm socket and effectively makes the socket quite a lot more shallow.- It has no case and instead uses plastic strip and squares to hold sockets. On mine the 1/2" extension will not stay in place and keeps falling out. The box shaped plastic holders are also know to fail after a while.- This set would have been much better with just 1/2 and 1/4. All of the 3/8 socket sizes included are ready available and common in either 1/2" or 1/4".
