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 Douglas First

This interesting set may have just too many bells and whistles. It tries to be the jack of all traded sockets, but that might be a bridge too far to cross.The 72 teeth ratchet head is impressive and built well. The provided sockets are fantastic, but the "wedding cake” ¼” and ½” stud is awkward. It works, but then perhaps the tool should better have only two sizes of stud drives on opposite sides of the head: ¼” and ⅜” or ⅜” and ½.”One overt manufacturing decision (mistake?) that I noticed is that the ¼” drive stud was milled a bit offset to the ½” stud.The main issue with the set is that wide sockets that require a ½” stud drive also need a substantial moment to lock or open them. Unfortunately, this set has a small handle, so to effectively employ it with ½” sockets might prove ineffective.Another issue with this set is that the tiered-up geometry of the ¼” drive on top of the ½” drive prohibits the socket of the ½” drive extension bar from being fully inserted over the ratchet’s head ½” stud. Notice how the ⅜” extension bar fits perfectly over the ⅜” drive, as it has the traditional design.The main advantage that I see in this design is that if one has a box of miscellaneous sockets for ¼”, ⅜,” and ½” ratchet drives, you might only need this swiss army head to engage with all of them, but then again, it will not be very effective with the wide ½” drive sockets.
