This video was made to create awareness of one potential pitfall for the DeWalt tool set. It is very heavy. Too heavy to be fun or practical. Other than that, this is a high quality tool set. It compare in quality to the Milwaukee brand. Watch before you buy.

I had a set like this, idk if it was exactly the same but looks pretty similar. Ended up returning it because I feel like the quality just wasnt there for the price, I had issues with ratchets getting stuck in directions, skipping their gears and sockets with heat treatment issues. Also, I kinda agree with you, its a bit weird to have such a comprehensive set where they give you multiple versions of the same sockets, but still they skip sizes? Thats just annoying.
Yes. The 20mm is like a four leaf clover. I checked several brands and none of them have it. I only work on smaller vehicles so for me this brand is working so far, but on tougher larger vehicles I can see this set having trouble. The main reason being the 72 tooth ratchet handle. As opposed to a 42 tooth handle, the 72 tooth handle has smaller teeth. The more teeth they put in, the smaller the teeth have to be, and the more fragile they are. I still keep around my 42 tooth handle for harder jobs since those teeth are larger.
@@skywind007 Just for reference, I was working on a motorcycle the first time I had skipping teeth ^^
If you don't use all the tools in the kit, why buy them all and then moan about the weight? I don't understand. Fisher Price do a tool kit that may be more suitable for your needs :)
DeWalt is one of my favorite brands. I really like it. I just wish they would sell metric and SAE separately since I never work on two cars simultaneously.
it really shows you are not a mechanic, if you use the deep sockets you don't need a 1 inch extension, it's better to have too many tools than to not have the tool and you have to stop and have to go back up the stairs to get the tool and the more you work with tool and understand what they are used for the better you'll appreciate having so many tools, I think you should have waited to give a review on a set of tools you don't even know how to use but don't worry you keep at it and you will learn
You didn't watch the video to the end. I said I use the longer sockets if I can't reach a bolt at: 10:30.
@skywind007 yes I started typing before the video was done because I could tell you didn't know what you were talking about because I am a Mechanic and if you would carry that set of tools more often you wouldn't need to slip on a cheater ,well like I said keep after it and some day you will look back at this video and know what I mean, Good luck 👍
@@XLTJeff I made this video because I was surprised at the weight of this tool box. I only want buyers to know what they are getting into. Some people are old and others are disabled. I'm a little of both. These tools feel a lot heavier than 38 lbs. More like 50 lbs. I know a plumber who sometimes works on tall buildings. This is something you don't want to take 5 or 6 floors up the stairs. I'm not returning these tools as they are fantastic.
He is also not a real mechanic if he downgrades a ratchet for not being able to put a pipe on it, learn what a "breaker bar" is and how to use it, instead of over stressing your ratchets. A cheap breaker bar is only $10-$20. BTW SAE inch tools are very handy for snow blowers. Tractors, farm equipment, lag bolts vintage cars and home plumbing heating and electrical work.
@@robc8468 Sometimes you don't have a straight path to put a breaker bar in place of a ratchet. Just two days ago I had to use this tactic were I placed a pipe on the tip of the ratchet handle but did not put it all the way in since there were hoses and what not in the way. There was an angle between the ratchet handle and the pipe. It would have been impossible to do with a breaker bar unless you can somehow bend the breaker bar. I appreciate your input but my car's engine is very compressed were you have very little space to put anything in, and seldom have a straight path to any bolts. As far as SAE sockets, I agree with you that many vehicles and farm vehicles use this. For anyone with such vehicles this tool set will be great. No problem.
