GEARWRENCH209 Piece SAE/Metric 1/4", 3/8", & 1/2" Drive Master Impact Socket Set - 89072

amazing product has more sockets than you need, i Loved it! I will used Them everyday at the Dealership

Great quality and quantity for the sale price

I just unboxed this YUUUUGE master impact socket set from Gearwrench, that dwarfs my old Craftsman USA set. They have larger drive sizes for tiny sockets that just seems RIDICULOUS to me! There's NO NEED for the ⅜" sets to start at 5/16", & 10mm when ½" & 13mm are typical. That's a waste of 5 sockets each in shallow and deep-well. They also skip the ⅜" dr 20mm, although 20mm is in the ½" dr set. Again, on the ½" sets they start at ⅜" & 8mm! Who uses sockets that small on ½" drive?! They SHOULD have started at 9/16"/14mm, which would have saved EIGHTEEN sockets! The ½" shallow skips sizes 33-35mm, but they are present in deep-well. It doesn't look like they make those sizes to fill in your set if you need them. I CAN'T IMAGINE using my 1200 ft lb ½" impact on an 8mm bolt! I went ahead and rated it 5* because I already had the Gearwrench impact swivel sockets, & they're holding up fine for hobbyist use. Oh, I bought this from Amazon Warehouse, but the tape on the box hadn't even been cut! I put them all on Proto socket rails that are made in the USA for a reasonable price at Zoro com with a 20% coupon & free shipping over $50, & I don't see anything missing.

7/16 3/8 drive regular was cut 5/16 size. Missing 24mm 1/2 drive deep because duplicate 23mm 1/2 drive deep was sent. Missing 9mm 1/4 drive regular because duplicate 6mm 1/4 drive regular was sent.Sockets come in bags in cardboard boxes. Some sockets come individually wrapped inside those larger bags. Some sockets are an off color. Not all things that are of major concern when you're going to beating them up every day anyway, but in conjunction with the deficiencies mentioned above I don't believe it's too much to ask to open a box you just spent half a month's mortgage on and find everything already in order in a tray. Too many reviews with quality control issues for it to be a fluke. People swear by Gearwrench, but it makes you wonder where else the quality control is lacking across their line of products.Seem like solid quality when you hold them, though. I will be using them for heavy duty applications, so I'll update after a while.

Best set money can buy. I work on heavy duty diesel trucks all day long, this set literally comes with everything you need for up to 1.5”/36mm

Need new and better priced then snap on!

I buy mostly Tekton tools, but this was on a super sale over the holidays, so I grabbed it.After receiving and sorting all the sockets, my romance with Gearwrench will be short lived. It appears well made but someone at Gearwrench seems to have lost their mind.There are tons of complaints in the reviews about missing sockets. While some of those complaints appear valid and some received sets that were truly missing sockets, it appears that this set is designed to have some really weird skips.Based on other reviews and as much info as I can find on the web, it appears that this set is designed without 3/8 20MM in both std and deep but 1/2 20MM is included in both std and deep. 3/8 Metric goes from 8 to 22 in both std and deep, but 20 is just randomly not in sequence.They also skip 1/2 33, 34, 35 in std only. They are present in deep.I have noticed that Gearwrench does some similar weird skips between std and deep when you get into their 3/4 impact line as well. Std and deep don't have all the same sizes.I realize that some socket sizes are rarely used and some sets skip less common sizes to save cost, but why skip in one drive size and not in another? Why skip in std (shallow) and not skip them in deep.In the end, I'm disappointed that I didn't stick with Tekton which are true no-skip sets. By the time I buy organizers for these, I won't be too far off from Tekton in price and those are available with various organizer options as part of the kits.

It was a great purchase, I beat on them pretty hard and haven’t had anything break yet i’ve had them for about three months now.
