An excellent set for the price,

"I decided to upgrade my socket set after tiring of the missing sockets and poor quality of my previous set. This is an excellent assortment of sockets, drivers, and a few other basic hand tools. It has every socket size I've needed, deep and shallow, in both 1/4" and 3/8" drives without much of the "filler" often found in combination sets. The socket wrenches have a smooth locking mechanism and a button on the back of the head to lock the sockets onto the shaft.
Two things keep me from giving it 5 stars. The plastic case (similar to the other folding red cases) comes with a flimsy removable foam insert that is required to prevent the bits from falling out when the case is carried or moved. I'm sure it's going to fail within a year and I'll have to make a replacement or get another case, and replacing it every time I close the case is tedious. The other issue is the socket retention mechanism on the 1/4" driver is loose enough that bits will occasionally come off if they're really jammed on the bolt.
Overall, I've been highly pleased and would recommend this to anyone looking for a complete set of sockets for most automotive and general construction work."
