"I have not used this yet but I needed it for changing the tires on our cars.We have 4 cars all have different size lugs.I had to try and get the lug off the Neon and had to use a breaker bar to get it off.It took a 19mm socket which I have.So now I have all I need for the other cars.I never want to be stuck like that again.The tire people put 200ft pounds torque on the lug nuts which is 100 ft pounds.I could not get the lugs loose with the X wrench ."

"with that said when your working with 19mm,21mm,24mm fasteners theres normally extra space where the deep drives work...I haven't owned these long but so far have replaced front struts,sway bar end links,upper control arms,removed lug nuts,etc. I tend to like high end tools but if you were to remove "tekton" markings and give these to a professional,would they be able to tell the difference?"

Find Best Price at Amazon"Both sets have a few sizes the other does not have but are very similar (the Stanley has a few smaller sockets and a ¼” wrench, the Crescent has a few larger sockets). The case supplied with the Stanley set is very poor, the sockets can be almost impossible to remove without breaking your nails. Although this is a pretty nice set for the money but I found a much better set for about the same amount of money: Crescent CSWS10 3/8-Inch Drive Socket Wrench Set, 52-Piece. The case for these sockets is much better, everything fits nicely and sockets are easily removed as they are not ‘clamped in’ as with the Stanley sockets."
"The black chrome look is nice, not that looks are important when using a ratchet set, but they do look nicer than the usual chrome socket sets I have seen. The black chrome does make it very easy to see what the socket size is so you don't have to search or squint for sizes like you might on a chrome set."
"The case is awful and frankly black was a bad idea as if a socket is dropped inside of a work area it becomes a pain to locate."
"The tools come packaged in such a way to where the lid of the case is actually not attached to the bottom and is behind it, to display the sockets sitting inside the case. After this, every single socket had to come out of the case to remove stips of foam padding from between each socket, and the plastic of the case. The "snapping" mechanism that holds the sockets in the case make removing the sockets difficult, and putting them back in, as equally difficult, most times using a screwdriver to "pry" each socket out of its correct place in the case."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I had a small job to do around the house and decided to try out the Tekton 1/4 drive set to see how it preformed as compared to the other tools I own. Yes it had the big Tekton logo on the front of it, also present were "1/4 DRIVE" in raised lettering so you know what is inside. The next thing that sticks out are the full length metal pins that act as the hinges for the case, no folding plastic joints that will separate after a couple of dozen cycles leaving the user with a two piece blow molded case that is duct taped together. After squeezing the case in a variety of locations such as the corners, middle and each side individually leaves no doubt how durable it is. The ratchet features a push button release and a thumb switch to reverse direction, with the 72 teeth gearing it's operation is extremely smooth. On the left side is a 2.5" wide X 5.5" long X 1" deep storage section for extra bits, nuts and bolts or whatever you need. Another surprise and important feature is the addition of a 5.5mm size, they are almost impossible to find on other brands and if you ever worked on one of Henry's cars, a 5.5mm is a necessity. The upper case includes a 3" and a 6" 1/4" drive extension with a 5/8" and a 3/4" knurl respectively, both feature a spring and ball that lock into the detente on the socket."
"I had a Craftsman 250 "Made in USA" mechanics tool set that I really disliked from the beginning. The last straw with the Craftsman, other than the poor fit and finish, was the 36 tooth design for the ratchets. I was servicing my Ariens snow thrower and had a devil of a time removing the 8 bolts so I could grease the gears (because there wasn't a lot of room to swing the ratchet and the 36 tooth design required approx 15 degrees of swing arc). The only purpose of 12 point sockets, in my opinion, are to strip bolts! If I had to point out any flaws, it MIGHT be that the 1/4 drive ratchet is a little short (at least based on what I'm used to). Also.. the sockets on the top part of the case snap into place (if they didn't they'd fall when you close the case) - they snap it pretty snug (which is good) and can be a little difficult to take out (really grasping at straws here..). A 1/2 drive socket set would also be in order (but I have a Tekton 1/2 drive ratchet to use with my 1/2 Tekton impact sockets so I didn't need the duplication)."
"Tekton represents a great value quality tool for the homeowner or DIYer, or even the professional mechanic looking for inexpensive quality tools."
"But compare the competition-. none of the them are any longer with the exception of expensive extra long Proto or Snap-On ratchets not part of a kit."
"I have read and viewed so many great reviews on the TEKTON brand."

The tool's socket contains 54 hardened steel spring pins for long-lasting durability. As the fastener is turned, the torque is transmitted through the outer pins to the walls of the socket, making this socket an ideal choice for heavy-duty personal or professional use.
