Performance Tool W1173 SAE/Metric 40-Piece SAE and Metric Socket Set, 1/4-Inch & 3/8-Inch Drive

This product is overall of reasonable build quality. I just started working in a small engine repair shop and I wanted a set of tools for myself to use. The tools are not perfect by any means. The tools have small cosmetic defects and the socket fits are not 100% accurate (pretty close though). The plastic case that the sockets came in is VERY fragile, but is also very well organized. As long as you don't abuse the case it should serve you very well. Pros:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Affordable *Set is relatively complete *Socket Wrenches feel very solid *Sockets are well organized in case *Bit driver magnet is EXCELLENT *Backed by an Unconditional LIFETIME Warranty Cons:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Cosmetically imperfect *Case is flimsy *White rust formed over the first night I owned this set *Only one socket extension included, and its the shortest I have ever seen. *Hmmm... Not really too much else. Overall, A great set for beginners. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a set to learn with. I also love the fact that this set is covered by a lifetime warranty. I will come back and update this review if there are durability issues with this product. The white rust mentioned in the Cons section was only cosmetic. In time, it will rub off and the zinc will react properly with the air. I STRONGLY suggest that for the first few days you own this set you LEAVE THE CASE OPEN. Leaving the case open will allow the air to circulate around the sockets and form the correct chemical bonds with the zinc coating. P.S. !!! *** !!! The brand of tools that I received was NOT Wilmar. What was shipped to me was something called "Mechanics Products 'Mechanics Tool Set'". This was sent to me by the Amazon LLC. seller, so I don't know what you will receive if you order from another seller. P.P.S. As it turns out, "Mechanics Products" is actually a brand that Wilmar uses for some of their products.

The tools have been great.. the only issue I might say, is the cheapness of the case. They don't stay in place inside the case and it is annoying when I open the case and something falls out.. the tools themselves tho are of a good quality and have held up well.. I would definitely buy again and these would be great as a gift for the at home mechanic for sure.

I purchased this is tool Set mainly because I needed an affordable variety of ratchet adapters. For the price, this set offers a decent range of tools that can handle light tasks. The sockets and adapters are useful for small, everyday jobs around the house or on my vehicle. However, the overall quality of the set is quite disappointing. The case is flimsy, which isn't a big deal for me, but more concerning is that the ratchet and some adapters seem poorly constructed. In my experience, one of the adapters broke almost immediately under minimal stress. This makes me question the reliability of the set for any critical work. If you need a cheap, temporary solution and won't be pushing the tools to their limits, this set could be acceptable. Just be prepared for possible breakages and the need to replace or upgrade sooner than you might like.

I’ve used these sockets a few times now. I keep them under the backseat of my truck and are definitely handy and useful and easy to store would buy again if I’ve ever needed to replace.

Given the low price on this item, you probably wouldn't be expecting anything too great. That said though, this thing is even junkier than what I expected. First, I'll start with the plastic case. Even when closed all the way and snapped shut, it doesn't stop the sockets from falling out of the holders within the case. So you organize it all nice just like how it's supposed to be, then you snap it shut and move it from point A to point B and when you reopen it, the sockets are all over the place. So, the case is junk. As for the wrench and sockets, they are junk too. You can tell how poorly made they are just by running your fingers over the material. Anyone who works with tools will right away be able to tell this is low quality stuff. Also, a few of the socket sizes aren't very well pressed into the socket itself. It's hit or miss how many sockets have this problem, but there's definitely a few of them in my set. At the end of the day, I bought this because it is small and easily fits in a "general purpose" tool bag that I like to keep that just has "the basics" included in the bag for simple projects. I have a significantly nicer socket set in my outdoor tool box that I would of course go to for the bigger projects.... So this thing technically fits my needs for just a small little socket set that easily fits a general purpose tool bag, but that said this is really cheap stuff. I wouldn't trust the wrench not to give out if you put too much torque on it and the overall quality as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. If you're looking for something small, easy and cheap to just have for "around the house" easy stuff than I suppose this is decent for that - but it is a low quality set and I would not trust it for anything beyond elementary level work.

Good for the Price. Its a cheap set with a cheap case, but it gets the job done. Had to take everythibg out of the case becasue it didn't hold stuff correctly, but the tools themselves are good.

Pretty good set - highly recommended if you want to get your moneys worth. (I would even go out and say that this set rivals some of the low-end Stanley sets that are being sold here on Amazon.) Pros -This set contains all the bits you'll ever need; and if you're wondering, yes, they are pretty accurate. -Good quality items for their price range. -The two socket wrenches provided are durable and allow for some versatility . -The extension and adapters were a nice touch. Cons -The case is fragile. The inner housing of the case is constructed of a of flimsy plastics with little to know thickness and/or strength. Note: -When my set arrived there were some cracks inside the case. The bits were all over the place and a 5.5mm bit was missing. -Upon closer inspection I noticed that there were some scuffs, finger prints and minor residue on some of my bits - had it been used before, production/packaging mishap perhaps? Nothing to cry about though.

Good tools worked perfectly for me
