          I would return it. It shows a case i. The photos and lists are case in the specifications. There is an 84 piece set.that includes a case.

          By|Nov 20, 2024

            Justin, We do not offer a case for this set, however socket rails could be a good storage solution for the bit socket set.

                No our products do not have a lifetime warranty. Only warranty against defects and workmanship. Betty.Smith@apextoolgroup.com

                By|Sep 22, 2023

                  I purchased this set on March 9th and on March 20th my T10 snapped off when removing fasteners from a ratchet to clean and oil them. I called GW and there is no warranty on them at all. They did a one time exception. It may vary.

                    Curious, No, these bits are press fit into the socket and are not designed to be removed/replaced.

                      Multiple bits came crooked. The worst was probably the 6mm long hex, making it unusable. When contacting warranty, showing the clearly crooked bits, they made it seem like they were doing me a favor. Essentially said that we'll do a one time favor, but going forward bit sockets are not covered under warranty.. On an item that was brand new and defective from factory... When I received the replacements, I only got 4 out of 6. They didn't include the 6mm and 9mm long hexs that were by far the worst and the least usable. Note that these are made in China, not Taiwan. You are paying a premium price for an inferior product with poor support. Stay away from Gearwrench; you are honestly better off with a cheaper set (the one from HF was cheaper and nicer, and you can bet that they won't hassle you on warranty).

                      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're disappointed to hear that several bits arrived crooked and did not meet your expectations right out of the box. Professional users depend on accuracy and fit, and receiving components that are not straight or fully usable is understandably frustrating. We're also sorry to hear that the replacement process left you dissatisfied. We take product quality and customer support seriously and would like the opportunity to review your experience in more detail. Please contact our warranty team at warrantysupport@apextoolgroup.com or 1-877-626-3433 and reference the issues with both the original set and the replacement components. Customer feedback like yours helps us identify opportunities to improve both our products and the support experience. GearWrench
                      Terrible quality!!! Multiple machined crooked! Gearwrench no help!
                      Absolute garbage. These are now made in china unlike my older sets and man can you tell. Multiple bits aren’t even close to straight, multiple mounted crooked in the machining. The fact that when I called them to see if they would fix this mistake they were not even interested in warranting them out even tho they were brand new. There is NO WARRANTY on them buyer beware. These were great when they were made in Taiwan. It’s a shame Gearwrench has chosen to ruin a good name with more and more crap Chinese replacements. It’s seems they only care about maximum profits as of late.

                        Its not many times that I do repairs that I need a Torx wrench or a tort bit but when it does present the need I always have held my breath . It seems so many times I've not had the right size ,especially metric . I finally decided that I was tired of this problem happening when and at a time with not being able I borrow one or made due . I decided to end it and order a high quality full set. Boy am I happy. ! First it's an 84 piece assortment ,that I can't imagine.any a time I won't have what I need, again! And boy, the quality! I never seen anything that comes close ! It's an investment that will last for a long time !

                        This Master SAE/Metric Hex and Torx Bit Socket Set (84-long shaft ) by GearWrench is one outstanding set of hex and torx sockets. This 84 piece set will cover almost any job you may come across. There has been many times when I needed a shaft torx bit and now I have 10 of them in the most used sizes. All the socket bases are heat treated means they are strong and will last a long time. Between my pickup truck, the wife's car, my tractor and our Class C RV I always have a need of all of the bits in this set. I have many products by GoodWrench and have never regretted buying anything from them. This set of bits will be used a lot n the coming years.

                        I discovered GearWrench products about six years ago when I saw their combination wrench set. Because of the design each wrench can accommodate SAE and metric fittings. No longer a need to carry both types and no more rounded over nuts and bolts, all the pressure is on the flats and not the points. Because of the versatility this is my set of wrenches that I never leave home without. When I ordered this 84 piece set on Home Depot's site I was impressed with the variety of bit and sockets shown but not until I actually had it in my grubby little mitts did I realize the size range from small to large that's included. Combine this set with a good set of screwdriver bits and deep well impact sockets and there's no job you won't be able to handle. They even included a good assortment of Torx security bits. This is impressive and well worth the price. This set is probably more that the average homeowner needs but every tool junkie should have one of these in their arsenal. GearWrench offers a Lifetime Warranty with no questions, no receipt required. Can't ask for more than that.

                        This specialty, comprehensive socket set doesn’t include ratchets or a manual driver handle. It DOES include 84 quality machined English/ Metric sockets: Hex, Torx, Tamper-Proof Torx, E-Torx, and Long bits. Good price point for a set that, priced individually, would be a small fortune. Great for us do-it-yourselfers that occasionally need that once-in-a-while right-sized tool. Don’t believe we’ll live long enough to use them all but we expect to save money and enjoy the convenience of having the proper tool for one-off repairs. The plastic-molded case is a little disappointing. It’s great to have a place for every bit, identified by clear raised numbers and sizes on the case itself. But, even though the long bits (attached to the lid of the case) have an indentation that secure them into their respective slots, the other bits don’t “snap” into place. If you open the case wrong-side up, it’s a chore… especially with the tiny font size stamped on the 1/4 inch sockets. Younger eyes and much patience required if you happen to make that mistake! The Home Depot website has up-close manufacturer photos of many of the components. See the additional attached photos for more detail, including a nice table on the box with the contents clearly listed.

                        GEARWRENCH mechanic tools are designed with the professional user in mind to increase productivity, as the same will be accomplished with this professional set of hex, torx and e-torx bit sockets assorted in the 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive ratchet sizes. The included blow molded case helps keep all the sockets in order and convienent when the issue arrives where your coworker, neighbor or friend asks the inevitable "Hey would you have".
