Almost perfect
This set is nearly perfect. I replaced a 25 year old Craftsman set that served me well. Mainly, the broken plastic case was the reason for replacement. The Dewalt set has a very sturdy case that I suspect will function fully for many years.
Pros:
All 6 pt. sockets!!!
Wide variety of sizes.
Good overlap in sizes in each drive size
Solid tools with good ergonomics.
Smooth ratchets
Solid case
Set doesn't include a bunch of screwdriver bits - counted as "pieces"
Nice to have the extensions in each drive size and adapters.
Cons:
Sockets are held securely by the case, but almost too securely. The smaller pieces are a bit difficult to remove. They are laying on their side, so if I don't guess correctly, pulling out 3-4 sockets to find the right size is a little frustrating.
It's heavy. Good quality and quantity will do that I guess.
A few wrenches would be nice. Maybe even just one adjustable would help when a ratchet just won't do.
Overall, my cons are nit-picky. I don't believe I could find a better value out there to fit my needs.
I would not hesitate to buy more hand tools from Dewalt or recommend them to anyone.
