[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the market for a portable tool set that would tackle a wide variety of tasks and this set fits the bill completely. Sturdy, well made tools and a well thought out group of tools make this a very handy set.
The ratchets are smooth yet easy to grip. The 72 tooth ratchets make removing fasteners much easier especially in tight or awkward places. The variety of accessories included come in handy for a wide range of tasks.
The assortment of regular and deep sockets are perfect for automotive fasteners and general tasks. There are plenty of sockets and the range is perfect for everything that I do.
The combination wrenches are very handy and the DirectTorque heads grip fasteners strongly and make removing stubborn fasteners much easier.
There are two sets of hex keys included and the holder for each set is wonderful for organizing and holding the hex keys. That is a huge plus for keeping all of the hex keys organized and ready for use.
The vinyl grip screwdriver is my favorite screwdriver ever! The grip is incredible and there are plenty of bits for a wide variety of tasks.
The blow molded case is a bit large, but holds all of tools securely and is well organized. The case has locking tabs for each tool that holds them securely in place and prevent sockets from popping out and mixing together. This is a great detail for the case as it is able to hold each tool in place securely whether the case is open or closed.
This tool set is now my go to tool set. It has a great variety of tools and is truly useful.

Case could use a little work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used these tools a few times for various tasks around the house and they seem to be made pretty well. A couple of things could be improved, like having a release on the back of the ratchets to make it easier for removing the socket. The case does not hold the sockets in place very well. Once it is closed and reopened I have to place them back into their appropriate location in the case.

Excellent tool set. A one stop shop for sockets
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mechanics tool set is a one stop shop for sockets, wrenches and some other useful tools. It comes in a handy case which makes it easy to transport and carry. No more grabbing a few tools and hoping you have the right size. Excellent for everyone, from DIY to professionals. Would recommend the tool set to everyone.

Quality Set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received this tool set I found about a dozen pieces loose in the case. The loose parts were likely due to shipping because I was able to put them all where they belong and the case holds them tight. Its not so tight that you can't get them out either. In fact, all the sockets can be rotated while being held in the case but are still held securely. I also noticed the plastic case has metal latches which snap closed securely. The other side of the case has actual hinges and not a folded seam like my old set had which this is replacing. The sockets all appear to be of high quality with clearly visible size markings and part numbers. All sockets are knurled for better handling. I found the knurling quite helpful when working with the sockets. Overall I am very happy with this mechanics set and would recommend it.

Fantastic Set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the case to each individual piece, this set is amazing. They are held perfectly in place and pop out easily only when needed. All sockets are easily readable and tho on and off the wrench solidly.

Excellent Quality, Built to Last
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although, I was previously unaware of Dewalt’s line of hand tools, I have owned many of their power tools over the years due to their reputation for quality and durability. I was anxious to see if this mechanic’s tool set would live up to the DEWALT name. After using it for a few weeks, I can say emphatically that it did.
First impressions: 1)This set is heavy which cuts down on its portability slightly. If you are planning on keeping this in a tool box in your truck, lifting in and out will be awkward. Behind a seat or on a bench top in your garage or workshop is the best bet and where mine will stay. 2). Nice selection of bits without a lot of “filler pieces” you’ll never use just to get their piece count up. Every one of the 172 pieces I can see needing. 3) Nicely fitting, quality case and holders that is actually intuitively designed. The layout actually makes sense here (which is rare) so it’s easy to find what you are needing.
Use: The larger number of teeth on the ratchet makes getting into tight areas a breeze. This was especially useful on a spark plug I was replacing on an older lawn mower. The handles are comfortable and easy to grip. The quality and finish are exceptional. With a lifetime guarantee, you can’t go wrong. In fact, the only negative comment I have comes not from me but from my 83 year old father who wanted to try them out. His complaint comes from the size of the lever to switch the ratchet from tighten to loosen. So those with limited dexterity may have issues but the vast majority of users will not.

Good collection of sockets
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit has almost everything you could need, the tools aren’t us made but still good quality. My only real grip is with the case. I love the size as it fits perfect in under my truck seat but every time you open it a bunch of pieces fall out. If it’s something your going to use often a different storage method would be needed. Still works great for quick repair while on the road.

great socket selection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the set when I got it to disassemble an old swing seat and assemble a new one at the same time. The amount of attachments for the sockets were great for both instances.

Great feeling and functioning tools
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the quality and feel of this tools set. The ratchets are super smooth both in terms of how they operate as well as how they feel in your hand. My only complaint is that the case doesn't hold all of the sockets in place so when you open it there is always one or two pieces that have fallen out. This minor issue would by no means deter me from buying this set again!

The sockets about 10 to 15 of them keep falling out when opening or closing. A bad mold i reckon.

Uuummm, yea, soo, thing kinda sucks. 2 of the sockets rounded out and u already snapped the drive on the 3/8 drive ratchet on its first use, and I was only breaking the torque on a bolt that was tightened to 50 lb-ft. I'm going to the snap on truck to buy my tools from now on
