DEWALT Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4" & 3/8" & 1/2" Drive, SAE/Metric, 205-piece (DWMT81534)

DeWalt Quality - Extensive Range of Tools Needed

Perfect 21st birthday present for my son. He’s absolutely thrilled

Item came pretty quick from the USA to the UK the case very strong the sockets and wrenches are fantastic I would definitely buy again I've been looking to buy a replacement socket set I had for about a couple of years now a Draper socket set which was fantastic and I found this 1 to be the best suitable for me, over all fantastic 10 out of 10 and it comes with a lifetime guarantee you will not be disappointed if you purchase one

Just perfect!

Can i change the I've ordered because it's to small,i can't use to repair car,thanks,i need 1/2 drive bigger,it's my mistake because i thought it was big than my expectation. Thank you,hoping for your response.

This is a excellent kit, it is a shame the box doesn't hold all the parts tight. Each time I open box I open it dewalt up. Otherwise majority of kit falls out. Even though this kits has this fault I'm still happy with this purchase.

A 50th Burthday present for my son who was delighted.

Thanks

If this review provides the info you need before buying, please consider marking it "Helpful", as that's very helpful for reviewers! EDIT 03/03/2022 - added a Con to the review. Still 5 stars though. Pros: - a huge number of tools, everything you need to work on cars! This includes your normal 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive sockets (regular and deep) and ratchets and a short AND long extension for each drive size, which is awesome! - Everything is HEAVY and tough. - The ratchets are super solid and feed really great in your hand as well. The ratchets do not have a release button, sockets just push on and pull off, but I haven't had any issues with sockets falling off. I would have to go freeze in my garage to see if there's a ball detent on them, but they stay on and that's all I care about. They have 72 teeth (which most quality ratchets start at nowadays), so not as fine control as Snap On's (ridiculously expensive) ratchets for example, but they feel like really good quality, with no free play. - includes a set of combination wrenches, and having bought an identical long 14mm wrench from Partsource in the past, I can tell you a single one of these wrenches retails for $10-15 EACH. - the case is HUGE. When the box arrived at my house, I thought "why did they put it in such a massive box?" It turns out the set is big, and incredibly heavy. I weighed it at 33.5 pounds. This says good things about the quality, but makes it a bit unwieldy to take to a junkyard to get parts for example. The latches are metal, 2 on the front and one on each side. The whole thing feels like it would survive an earthquake or explosion, but man is it heavy. - YES THE SOCKETS CLICK IN AND DO NOT FALL OUT. I replaced my previous Mastercraft Maximum socket set specifically because all the sockets fell out all the time which drove me insane. I'm not having that problem with this set, thank goodness. If they did fall out, I would have returned this set already. I literally gave my old one to a friend because it annoyed me so much. - DeWalt Mechanic's tools come with a FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY, fulfilled directly by DeWalt, just call the number given on their website and they will replace any included tool that breaks FOR ANY REASON. There are no limitations on this as far as I can see, so hammer the wrenches as much as you need to in order to break them rusty fasteners loose! - the price on this set (247 piece mechanic's tool set) is different right now, I imagine because all the stock in the Amazon warehouse is cleared out and it's only third party sellers. When I bought it, the set was $203 with Prime shipping, and I consider that an excellent price for what you're getting. I searched around at Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. before purchasing, and this was the best deal anywhere locally or online. If this set comes around at this price again, I would 100% recommend it for anyone who is in the market for a complete set of hand tools. Cons: - there is no socket driver attachment for the ratchet, but the bits fit in the 1/4" SAE socket in case anyone finds themselves in the same situation I did. I would prefer there to be a dedicated receiver for the bits, but that does work.

Very good to have in every house Or shop

Great set of sockets in a wide range of both metric and SAE sizes in a sturdy hard case. Typical DeWalt quality material and build. It comes packaged with a foam insert, presumably to protect during shipping... I had a previous socket set that the smaller pieces would fall out of their slot unless I added padded to hold them in place but this set seems to stay in place just fine; however, I think I will keep the foam insert as an extra layer of protection. It only comes with one ratchet which is somewhat disappointing, as there are times you need smaller or larger; however, this is an entry level set so it's understandable. Also includes a small selection of screwdriver bits and a handle to hold these which is nice in that you can just take 1 set to a job. Definitely would recommend for the average user.

I bought it cheap few months ago like around 650AED and I already finished few repairs on my cars and Dewalt is really great better then other local brands. If you need hardware buy this and it will last forever.
