Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 1/2 in. Drive SAE/Metric Ratchet and Socket Mechanics Tool Set W/ Metric Combination Ratcheting Wrench Set (62-Piece)

Love this set. This is beautifully designed. The etched labeling, and the embossed logo is brilliant, makes them easy to see and easy to feel to help indicate size and direction ratcheting is going. The case is great for storage, and the tool itself feels nice in the hand. I have tested out the open end on the battery terminal, but have yet tested the box end. I bought this while looking for a deal on Quik lok. Now the lawn will look terrible, but hopefully the car engine will run smoother .

Very nitpicky issue but the rack they come with is designed to hang horizontally. All the size markings are vertically oriented. The markings on the wrenches are vertical, no problem but the rack should be labelled horizontally since it hangs horizontal.

This Milwaukee 1/2 in. Drive SAE/Metric Ratchet and Socket Mechanics Tool Set is an impressive set to own. Comes in a large flat rugged, but slim case like most all Milwaukee tools do. The case has durable latches and there`s an inner lift-out tray that holds all the contents in place whether its stored in a mechanics cabinet drawer or on a flat surface. All the sockets have the measurements engraved on them on both sides that i can feel and very clearly see. These are squared sockets so they do not roll when im switching them out and put them on an inclined surface, another good thing is that one end is square while the others round so when im pulling it off the ratchet handle it has great grip. Having both the metric and standard size sockets in one kit is a great idea. Also Milwaukee gives you their Lifetime Guarantee on mechanics hand tools where they will replace them -but i doubt you`d need to use it. This set is what iv`e come to expect from Milwaukee.

This is my second socket set from Milwaukee and its just as good as my 1/4 set. One of the unique things about these sockets is that they have a square section as opposed to being all round like traditional sockets. This allows you to use a wrench with them and it also prevents them from rolling away. The ratchet that comes with this set is a 90 tooth which makes for smooth operation. Its not my favorite design but it works well.

This is an incredible ratchet set. First, you get a very high quality case to carry all of these tools in. Next, you'll notice that the 1/2 inch drive is very robust, heavy and made from quality materials to stand up to years of use. The sockets are in metric and standard and are, essentially, every size you'll need for almost any car repairs you might possibly do. The sockets are all squared in the barrel so that you can exert even more torque using a box wrench, if you need to. This is the quintessential "mechanic's set" and you will get many, many years of use of these.

Milwaukee 1/2 in. Drive SAE/Metric Ratchet and Socket Mechanics Tool Set (47-Piece) I really like the squared sides on these sockets because they are easier to hold with oily hands, they do not roll away on me and I can put a wrench on them when needed, I only wish I had them sooner! The ratchet feels heavy, sturdy and has a couple flat edges plus the 90 tooth ratchet lets me tighten or loosen with less room to swing the handle because each click is closer together than any other ratchets I have ever had also there are groves on the extensions that help hold or turn them. The carrying case is heavy enough to hold up nice and on the inside there is a removable tray that holds the tools and can be placed in your tool cabinet. I would get this again!

This review is for Milwaukee 47-piece, 1/2-inch drive, anti-roll, wrench-ready, SAE and metric socket set, product 48-22-9010. This set comes with a tough plastic case with removable storage tray that fits nicely into my rolling steel tool cabinet. The tray itself is clearly marked with all of the socket sizes. I have a strong preference for six-point over 12-point sockets after many years of handyman experience with equipment repairs, this set filling that bill. The drive ratchet functions beautifully, it having a catch each 4 degrees and the benefits of a low profile head. It is a relatively long at 10-3/8 inches between the center of the drive and the end of the handle. The chrome finish for all of the pieces is impressive. A most desirable feature is the fact that all of the sockets have four flat sides to resist rolling, also accepting use of an open-end wrench to boost. The sockets are deeply engraved with their sizes so that they show regardless of dirt and grease. The extensions are knurled for a bit of extra boost capability. Most everything about this six-point socket set exudes quality. This set is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. For replacements, all one needs to do is send an email with part identification (every part is etched with the product number), photo of the part needing replacement plus name and address or to call 1-800-SAWDUST. This is a very welcome addition to my most useful tools collection.

ANOTHER GREAT QUALITY "MILWAUKEE TOOL" SET - THIS 47 PIECE 1/2" DRIVE RATCHET & SOCKET SET WITH BOTH METRIC & SAE SIZES IS PERFECT FOR DYIer & PRO - SOCKETS ARE FLAT SIDED FOR ANTI-ROLL & SO THEY CAN BE GRIPPED WITH A WRENCH - EACH HAS A SIZE STAMPING - 90 DEGREE TOOTH DESIGN - SLIM PROFILE DESIGN FOR WORKING IN TIGHT SPACES - STURDY STORAGE CARRYING CASE WITH REMOVABLE TRAY - HAS LIFETIME GUARANTEE WITH A 800 # TO CALL.

The Milwaukee 1/2 in. Drive SAE/Metric Ratchet and Socket Mechanics 47-Piece Tool Set is a quality made product. I really like that each socket is made with four flat sides to prevent rolling and can also be used with the ratchet or a wrench. I have had this tool set for a week and have already used it to remove my riding mower blades to have sharpen. I also was able to use the ratchet and sockets to tighten the engine bolts. This tool set is also going to come in handy to work on my truck when repairs are needed. I'm really pleased with this product; it definitely met my expectations.

Much like the 1/4” & 3/8” sets, this 1/2” ratchet and socket set is great. The ratchet wrench itself is large and heavy, but not bulky. The ratchet is smooth in both directions and doesn’t have any slop in it. The size labels on the sockets are etched and large enough for me to see without my readers (I need +1.25, in case that helps anyone). The square end lets me know, without looking, which end of the socket I have. That’s a bonus in low light or tight spaces. It also allows for putting a wrench on the socket if you need help holding it still. Another advantage of the square end shape is that when your hands are slippery the transition from square to circular creates a shoulder on the socket. That gives a bit of extra leverage for pulling the socket off of the wrench. The case is excellent too. The tray holds everything securely without it being difficult to grab what you need. The tray comes out of the carrying case, so you can throw it in a drawer. And when you are using the carrying case, they used metal on the latches. That was a good call with the heft of the set.

Very substantial and well made. The ratchet has small angular gradations so the movement is smooth and precise. All parts are very sturdy with substantial walls so I feel that the product will last the full lifetime warranty without causing any problems. The case is what I have come to expect from Milwaukee: sturdy with excellent over-center latches. These latches and the well-fitting inner tray keep the parts properly nested when the case is inverted or on its side. The inner tray lifts out so that it can be placed in either a roll around tool chest drawer or where the set will be used without the extra bulk of the case when in close quarters. The 1/2 inch drive fits snugly in the sockets without play so the action is positive, both when tightening and loosening.

The set comes in a quality made box that has two very well-made latches on the front. The best latches I’ve had. They operate smoothly and firmly. The top opens to display the tools and each place is clearly marked with its size. Each socket is clearly engraved on two sides with its size. The flat sides keep them from rolling away, so you’re not chasing them. This is great anywhere, but especially if you’re on the road somewhere. The flat sides also make then ready to use a wrench on, for a little more control and help. Each piece has a great feel and look to it. These are very well made. I especially love the look, fit and feel of Milwaukee’s ratchets. They fit comfortably in your hand. The ratchet is smooth, only a 4 degree swing and 90 tooth design. These are so smooth and feel so much better than some others I have. The tray is easily removed and replaced, plenty of room on both sides, without having to pinch your fingers and can be placed in a drawer for easy access. Having both standard and metric in one set is so much better than two sets. The sizes go from 10-24 mm and ½”-1-1/8” without skipping and sizes, deep and shallow. I’ve been using the 3/8” drive set since they came out and it has become my top drawer tool set. This one is equally impressive and will do everything I need. It comes with Milwaukee’s Lifetime Guarantee. Like with anything else Milwaukee, just call 1-800- SAWDUST or go to their website. These are impressive tools. I've used every kind of tool out there and these are up there with the best. They're more expensive than some sets out there, but they're worth it. Good tools are an investment.

These wrenches are excellent tools. I've been using them for a couple of months. The quality is top-notch and the combination of open-end wrench and ratcheting functionality is very useful to me. The grip on the wrenches is surprisingly comfortable. All-in-all a well-designed and manufactured tool. The "Max bite" grip on the open-end dramatically improves the wrench's grip on small nuts and bolts. When small fasteners are torqued on tight, I sometimes have difficulty getting them loose without rounding off the points on the hex heads. The max bite really increases the probability that I can get the nut loose without damaging the heads. The wrenches come in a very useful carrying case. I put mine in one of the drawers (22.25 wide x 16.75 deep) in my toolbox and it fits perfectly with the companion case for the SAE set (see photo).

I have been nothing but impressed with all my Milwaukee tools and this set of wrenches is no exception. They’re heavy duty and beautiful at the same time. They nicely fit in your hand and are very functional with the many ratcheting positions and the extra notch-out in the open end of the wrench. I have both the standard and metric sets and use them on a regular basis. I also really like the large ID numbers that allow you to see the wrench you want easily. I’m getting older and have to grab glasses so many times just to see what wrench I’m getting, no longer! They’re a little pricey but this will be the last set of wrenches like this you ever have to buy.

This Milwaukee 15-piece ratcheting combination wrench set is a great addition to my toolbox. These are definitely pretty beefy wrenches (see pic comparing one to it's same size non-ratcheting Mac counterpart), which is both good and bad - good because I want them to hold up to all sorts of abuse, less good because I do want them to be as light and comfortable as possible while holding up to abuse. My first real test of these wrenches came on a particularly rusty brake-and-rotor-replace job, they held up fine. My only regret is not ordering the matching SAE set.

I had not upgraded my wrenches for 25+ years, after all they came with a lifetime guarentee and they were in good condition. But as I started a minor repair on my Mazda, I found the tight quarters difficult work with them. I was wandering around HD and saw these ratcheting wrenches and thought I'd give them a try, I could always take them back if they didn't help. Well color me impressed, the ratcheting made it so much easier to navigate in the tight quarters. They literally cut the disassembly/re-assembly time by more than half. The movement of the wrenches is nice and smooth, and they come in a nice case to keep them organized in one place, I so need help in keeping my tools where I can find them. Highly recommended, for the price they are a REAL step up, and time/nuckel saver in tight spaces.

A stunning set of quality ratcheting wrenches with many ease of use features. Wow! What a beautiful set of wrenches. I have both the Metric and SAE sets, and this review covers either. They make a good pair with the SAE set in red lettering, and the Metric set in black. There are so many good things to get say, so let’s get going. First, as mentioned, these make a good pair if you get both the SAE and Metric. The sizes are in engraved colored lettering that’s easy to see and easy to determine which type. The cases can be paired back to back as they lay in your tool drawer. So for starters, you can grab the right wrench for the job. 15 wrenches in either set allow for a good range of sizes, including some of the odd-ball sizes in the SAE version you never seem to have. Beyond that, they just have a good feel in your hand, with a good degree of heft for the larger sizes. The open end have some teeth to them to grab the fastener head. The ratchet is a thing of beauty, with a very small arc swing. It says 2.5 degrees for the large sizes, and 3 degrees for the smaller sizes. YES! I have been so frustrated by my old ratchets that required 10 degrees of swing. This small arc is really important as it seems everything these days is in tight spaces. Milwaukee continues to impress me with their tools, even as they have had to offshore some of the manufacturing. These sets are made in Taiwan without cutting quality. These are great high end homeowner tools that a pro would gladly use too.

Oh so Milwaukee beautiful! The nicest set of wrenches I have ever used. Beauty is only the beginning – these wrenches are extra functional. The length of each is an extra jaw size longer than my old wrenches so more leverage. The jaws are shaped so the hexagonal bolt or nut is fully supported on 4 sides and grooved to help grip and avoid rounding and slip out (see photo). The ratcheting box end works in 2.5 degree increments (think 144 clicks per revolution) that make working in those seemingly impossible tight situations possible. That also maximizes every stroke in less confined places. The smooth polished finish is easy to clean and the rounded I-Beam body fits the hand comfortably and provides easy gripping. The size is clearly marked on both ends and both sides and ink filled. The storage rack is clearly marked to indicate home for each wrench and SAE and Metric racks are designed to nicely fill a single tool chest drawer.

Some of the best tools available and the racket actually works very well

Very nice quality and I like the option to use an open end wrench on the square base for tight spots.

The tool box was damaged during delivery. Tools are fine, but the box doesn’t latch securely.

Gave as a gift, and the recipient was very happy

This is a real nice set of tools
