First of all, thanks DeWalt/Amazon for moving the impact drivers and power drills out of this grouping on Amazon so that it is not as confusing. All of the reviews now that mention the drills, however, are now not worth anything so the reviews are not off. Oh well. This DeWalt tool set seems to be well built, with quality pieces, unlike the Allen Wrench socket set that I had previously whose case fell apart and is currently being held together with duct tape.
CONS:
-The toolset is pretty heavy, but a general rule of thumb is that quality and weight usually run harmoniously with each-other, so this is not a big deal.
-It does not have the attachment adapter for a drill or impact driver for the largest sockets, but it does come with an adaptor for the smaller two sizes.
-They are not impact rated, but I think that they will hold up for a battery-powered impact driver (I use a Greenworks 24V impact driver, I will include a link for my review of this product from Amazon.)
PROS:
-It has a very good, solid, well-built case that should last a lot longer than our Allen Wrench socket set, whose case fell apart. The case is made with a premium composite plastic material that looks and feels durable.
-The hinges and latches are well made and should last a long time.
-All of the tools are made professionally and nothing seems like it was poorly engineered.
-All of the sockets, wrenches, and ratchets are well built.
-lifetime guarantee with free replacement which is a perk.
Time will tell and I will update my review if something goes wrong, but these products work very well and I am not ashamed to have them in my toolbox. The Pros outweighted the Cons and the only way that I would not recommend this would be if you work repeatedly with high-powered air-powered impact guns. I would highly recommend this toolset to anyone who needs a solid set of wrenches and sockets for their garage or shop. Please like my review if it was helpful. Thanks!

Dewalt has lived up to there name amazed at the quality I get from these tools the case looks and feels sturdy but some of the sockets come lose but it’s not the Fancy case that gets used I can’t express how happy I am with this set I use it daily for work I just wish the wrenches had a few bigger sizes

Wanted to wait 1 Year after buying this set of tools that replaced my old Craftsman set I had that’s was 30 plus years old, I am a retired HVAC mechanic who now tinkers on my and Wife and Girlfriend car and I love these set of tools that have held up through the punishment I’ve put them through. If you like quality tools, this is the set you want. When they arrived I picked up the package and instantly knew they were quality tools $166 for 247 piece tool set come on you can’t beat that, and the case that they come in is rugged to.

As others have mentioned the plastic case is bad. There is nothing holding any of the sockets in place. If you open the case incorrectly ALL of the sockets will fall out. When I’m working on a job that’s not something I want to worry about or deal with. Also, my case was slightly deformed so some sockets were falling out of their place even when the case was closed. The faulty case was a deal breaker so I returned it promptly. I didn’t test any of the tools,

What a difference when you pay for a well-known brand like Dewalt. Ratchet very sturdy and solid… plus a lifetime warranty! … how can you go wrong? 👍

Got home early from work today. I’m sitting on porch with a cold one. UPS pulls up with my new tools. They look and feel great. Got into my truck to go to store and it was a slow crank. Put brand new Dewalt set in my truck, then off to the local auto parts store. They checked battery and it was time to replace. Bought new battery and switched it out with my brand new Dewalt Mechanics took set in about 3 minutes. This set is awesome. Everything was in its place in the very sturdy case. Awsome.

Soy un joven aficionado a la mecánica, vi esta caja de herramientas y pense que era una buena oferta, estaba temeroso de que si esta ¿sera una buena inversión?, ¿necesitaré comprar más herramientas a corto o largo plazo?
¿Hay mejores opciones por el mismo precio? La VERDAD es que ESTOY MAS QUE SATISFECHO con esta compra, principalmente me dedico a motocicletas clasicas y modernas, TIENE TODO LO QUE PUEDES LLEGAR A NECESITAR al momento de desarmar completamente una motocicleta, si eres un mecánico o aficionado a la mecánica esta caja es excelente, una vez que trabajas con una caja de herramientas asi no hay vuelta atrás, olvidate de tener ese maletin lleno de llaves, matracas y dados revuelos por todos lados, esta caja te permite trabajar de una forma mucho más limpia y ordenada, Dewalt a demostrado ser una marca de gran calidad y también tiene su garantía de por vida, si cuidas de tu herramienta y sabes usarla te durara muchos años.
Lo unico que le añadiria seria un juego de llaves extras, porque la llave mas grande que tiene esta caja es de 15 milímetros y una de 9/16, asi que si necesitas apretar o aflojar tuercas o tornillos grandes te recomiendo que busques un set de llaves de grandes para completar tu colección.
Básicamente lo que ves en la foto es todo lo que trae

I was in the need for a decent tool kit. After much research, I decided on this one.
I had narrowed down to this kit, and Craftsmans 220pc set.
At the time they were within around 10 bucks of each other.
The reason Dewalts case sold me, was 72 tooth ratchets, and all 6 pt sockets.
The Craftsmans kit has 45tooth ratchets, and 12 and 6 point sockets.
I have always preferred 6pt sockets, and finer teeth makes for less swing in tight areas.
Sometimes that really matters.
I also like the Dewalt fat handle design. Its easy to find thin tapered handles, or bi-material, but hard
to find heavy thick handles.
The Craftsman kit does have quick release ratchets, but honestly, I am indifferent.
As far as the case goes, mine is fine. Quite robust actually. Not really sure who’d call this flimsy.
When opening, the letters face up. Like always.
Both brands are made over seas now, and have lifetime warranties, so that is a wash to me.
My only complaint would be my 1/4 in ratchet was real “crisp” feeling. Like it may have had some grit in the teeth, or just wasn’t oiled from the factory.
It loosened up, but works better now after a blast of WD40.
I consider this an upper tier consumer grade set(not).
Update: 1/4 in drive went back to its old ways. Def has a “square” spot in it. That bothers me.
What bothers me more is there isn’t a proper hex included to open and inspect the ratchets! At least not in my set. That itself merits a star reduction.
Lastly, the 1/2 in drive is set NOT a 72 tooth. I finally slow counted clicks over and over and got 36. Rereading the sales description, gives the impression ALL ratchets are 72.
Still an ok set, but maybe not as good as I originally thought.
Update 2:
This is my last update.
After doing a water pump change, these ratchets finally got the best of me.
I dug and scrounged and found an old junky gas station pocket multi-driver, that had the proper
size bit for opening these ratchets up for inspection.
1st observation: Zero lubrication. None. Nada. Not even the tiniest light film. Nothing. Dry.
I normally use a grease designed for fishing reels, but I couldn’t find my bottle, so I used a dollop of
STP in each ratchet.
My test, that infuriated my dad, is to hold an extension, and spin them like party favor noise makers.
If grease and that motion, don’t smooth them out, they’re garbage.
Results:
1/4 drive: smoothed out. It doesn’t have that “catch” and “grab” feeling every 30 or 40 clicks.
Knock on wood, it seems good.
3/8 drive: It always felt smooth, although it occasionally reversed direction on me doing the water pump. Now, it barely makes a sound (I accidentally over greased it), and is smooth as butter.
1/2 drive: For whatever reason, presto! It now clicks 72 times! I guess the rocker inside was stuck, don’t know.
Popping some water pump bolts free didn’t help it, but the STP did. It seems to be fine now. I actually miss the solid 36click sounds now! The 72 clicks sounds weaker, lol. Time will tell. Guess I got used to the louder clicks.
My opinion of this set hasn’t changed.
When I buy a set of tools, my first mechanic action should NOT be to repair the tools themselves. That is ridiculous.
For those who want to attempt opening these and greasing them, be very careful not to loose the little spring. I can see that easily happening. Work over a magnetic tray. The 1/4 drive can be tricky since the parts are so tiny inside, but it is doable in just a few minutes. Don’t just jerk it apart. Hold the selector in with one hand from behind, and ease the mechanism up little at a time.
