Performance Tool W1173 40-Piece SAE and Metric Socket Wrench Set

I felt I should leave a review after reading how many people complained about these. It’s a $15 socket set! I bought some just like this many years ago and they held up just as well as expensive sockets. I don’t know how it’s possible to manufacture these and sell them this cheap. I’m only buying more because I’ve either welded them to something to make an odd tool, lost them, etc. They work fine. Recently, I can’t find the case and want another complete set.

Portable and love that I have a bunch of options. Plus you get more for your buck.

I purchased this is tool Set mainly because I needed an affordable variety of ratchet adapters. For the price, this set offers a decent range of tools that can handle light tasks. The sockets and adapters are useful for small, everyday jobs around the house or on my vehicle. However, the overall quality of the set is quite disappointing. The case is flimsy, which isn't a big deal for me, but more concerning is that the ratchet and some adapters seem poorly constructed. In my experience, one of the adapters broke almost immediately under minimal stress. This makes me question the reliability of the set for any critical work. If you need a cheap, temporary solution and won't be pushing the tools to their limits, this set could be acceptable. Just be prepared for possible breakages and the need to replace or upgrade sooner than you might like.

Product is cheaply made and sockets don't stay on the ratchet. You have to hold on to them when you remove the wrench from the nut. Easy way to lose sockets. These are no way comparable to craftsman or husky brands etc. You get what you pay for.

This tool kit is holding up for two years now.

Given the low price on this item, you probably wouldn't be expecting anything too great. That said though, this thing is even junkier than what I expected. First, I'll start with the plastic case. Even when closed all the way and snapped shut, it doesn't stop the sockets from falling out of the holders within the case. So you organize it all nice just like how it's supposed to be, then you snap it shut and move it from point A to point B and when you reopen it, the sockets are all over the place. So, the case is junk. As for the wrench and sockets, they are junk too. You can tell how poorly made they are just by running your fingers over the material. Anyone who works with tools will right away be able to tell this is low quality stuff. Also, a few of the socket sizes aren't very well pressed into the socket itself. It's hit or miss how many sockets have this problem, but there's definitely a few of them in my set. At the end of the day, I bought this because it is small and easily fits in a "general purpose" tool bag that I like to keep that just has "the basics" included in the bag for simple projects. I have a significantly nicer socket set in my outdoor tool box that I would of course go to for the bigger projects.... So this thing technically fits my needs for just a small little socket set that easily fits a general purpose tool bag, but that said this is really cheap stuff. I wouldn't trust the wrench not to give out if you put too much torque on it and the overall quality as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. If you're looking for something small, easy and cheap to just have for "around the house" easy stuff than I suppose this is decent for that - but it is a low quality set and I would not trust it for anything beyond elementary level work.

This is a great set to keep in your tool kit. Seems very durable. I used it to replace a car window and a lawnmower belt and had all the sockets I needed.

Well made

Muy bien

My order was Performance Tools company tools. But I received AIWA company Tools. Bad quality. Poor quality plastic.

Great for working on my bikes. Metric for all bikes and imperial measure for my Harley.

Great quality, delivered on time.

Spectacular
