EPAuto 69 Pieces 1/4-Inch & 3/8-Inch Drive Socket Set, Pear Head Ratchet

This is a great value for $30. It's made in Taiwan and the metric sizes fit great (haven't needed the SAE sizes yet). The tool kit is solid at about 7.5 pounds and I especially like the knurling on the extensions and that it includes a universal joint. The sockets sizes are stamped deep and clear. May not matter if you're 20, but when you get to be 40 your eyes will thank you. In the picture, the EPAuto socket is on the right (Gearwrench laser etched socket on the left for comparison). Great set for keeping in my trunk in case of a roadside repair. The only thing I would like changed is a longer ratchet (an 8 inch ratchet would still fit in the same tool case) with a lower profile head. A small knurled ring around the sockets would also help when your hands are greasy. Other similar sets (same size ratchet and sockets) sell for 50% more, but I think this will hold up as well as those and the price can't be beat. Update (6/25/22): Have used this regularly over the last 4 years (including the SAE sockets) and it's held up great. In fact, even the sockets still look like the day I bought the set. Even though it's gone up in price, it's still a great value when compared to similar sets (example: Tekton 3/8 inch set). Would definitely recommend again. The second and third pictures are with my new phone and I also used a blue marker on the EPAuto socket to make it even more visible in low light. Even without, you can see the Gearwrench socket is harder to see the size marking. The Gearwrench socket set is model 80550 (also made in Taiwan). Both are excellent socket sets, but the EPAuto set is much less expensive, takes up less space and the sockets are easier (for my old eyes:) to read. So that's why I keep the EPAuto set in my car.

Perfect everyday socket set, Ratchets are of ok quality and lock the socket onto it firmly with push release, large assortment of both shallow and deep well sockets for every need, also some of the deep well sockets are contoured to get into tights spaces , I haven't put any torque on them as of yet we'll see on down the road, every size you need to do 99% of whatever you need. also great price with free delivery is a plus. A great all around socket set.

I ordered this set because I was about to set out on the task of changing out my own alternator because I couldn't afford to take my car into the shop. Decided a DIY would be the way to go and would be simple enough. I was given the advice to choose a socket set that has a complete selection of sizes because as luck would have it you'll typically need whatever socket size was missing eventually anyway. They look really nice, the case is sturdy and the pieces all fit in snugly and look neat. The sockets themselves are pretty high quality and put up under lots of use and abuse on stuck on bolts without any smoothing or denting. The ratchet itself seemed pretty sturdy at first, despite what some other reviews mentioned about it being made for a child or woman I honestly don't share the same sentiment. It's a pretty solid ratchet with decent grip and length. However I think the actual ratchet and teeth mechanism might be just average. When tasked with a stuck bolt I spent a day trying to use the included ratchet + a cheater bar at times and honestly couldn't make it budge. Pulled my back in the process though. However the next day I came in with a harbor freight Pittsburgh brand swivel head ratchet and it took one pull to get it going and let me get that bolt out. But overall you know it's a complete set, you'll need different sized ratchets for different tasks and I think you could benefit from this set regardless. The ratchet performed well at all other uses, just isnt the best for more tough bolts. I like the set, I think I'll be keeping it. Don't know how often I'll be needing to pull it out but the sockets are great, numbered clearly, fit well. So I'd say it's a great starter - intermediate set, but for situations needing higher torque be prepared to purchase some higher quality ratchets.

It's a good value. I have not used them, but did go over them well and all look well finished. I did not try them on bolt heads, but expect a snug fit. They are well finished. I do notice a, or rather "feel" a lip from the chrome plating at the crest transition into the socket head. However, again, I don't anticipate an issue with fit. I expect that, what is likely .25mm will wear and not chip. If I start using them and find an issue, I will revise this. The blow mold case is medium weight, not heavy duty, but not bubble packing either, - so nice enough for someone like me who'd not going to be tossing the box, etc. The latch is a bit, not tight, can't say loose but not tight, but works smoothly. The ratchet had a weighty feel to it, "heavy" - nice. I resembles another makers wrench that likely costs double this entire set, but, that's only a guess. So, over all unless I have a fit, or chrome finish chipping issue, - I expect to have these forever, like that ones I got 40 years ago for my first job, from that major dept store that no longer exists. For a spare set to reach for and not take a walk to get, - these should do and at what I think is likely a pretty good price. I have not purchased tools in a good while, - I have all I need and take care of them, so, that's why, - I'm not a tool collector; I only what just what I need. I hope that helps. Remember, if even there is an issue, with Amazon, - then, there is no issue, they'll see to it, return or replace, so, no sweat.

Perfect set. Good quality.

After moving, and downsizing several times the past few years, I found most of my tools were missing, I probably sold them during a weak moment at garage sales. While searching for a socket to repair my grandson's bike, I found all I had was several ratchet handles but only 1 19mm socket. I'm not turning wrenches for a living, I just wanted to pick up a complete set of sockets in an organized case. After reading the reviews, this EPauto 45 piece set seemed to be a worthwhile investment. I believe for the average homeowner who might need a socket from time to time, they will find this set is perfect. The sockets are well made with a nice chrome plated finish. No sign of flaking. They are 6 point so they grip well. The SAE sizes are in the top part of the case, snuggly held in place so they don't fall out when you open and close the case. The metrics are in the bottom, fairly loose, so pay attention to the "top" sticker they put on the outside of the case . The case will open and lay flat so you have easy access while you're working. The rachet handle seems smooth, I haven't used it a lot so I can't say anything about the durability, I'm sure it's adequate for home use. If you're looking for a nice inexpensive set of sockets, I would look no further than these. I think you'll be pleased.

It was a great buy

This socket set is high quality. Nice sockets, good ratchet, came in a nice case, nothing was loose!

I’m honestly so impressed with this socket set. For the price, the quality is way better than I expected. The 72-tooth ratchet is super smooth and makes working in tight spaces really easy—you barely need to move your hand to get it going. The sockets themselves feel solid and well-made, and everything fits snugly with no slipping. I also love how compact and organized the set is—perfect for keeping in the car or a small toolbox without taking up a ton of space. I’ve used it for a few small repairs and quick fixes around the house, and it’s handled everything without any issues. Great value, reliable, and easy to use. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a dependable, no-fuss socket set!

Great product for the handyman.

I need a light portable set to leave in the car for all of my quick fix & this works perfectly, delivery is always quick, highly recommended

I've been using and mistreating this socket set now for almost 1 year. It has never let me down. The ratchets and sockets have never slipped and they fit nicely on the bolts..other than some blemishes on the sockets from rubbing on parts being removed from my car etc, the chrome has held up nicely. I have used these sockets (with an adapter) with my 1/2 drive impact wrench..if they were going to fail this was the time when they would have...but so far they have withstood the force. I have also used these sockets with a large breaker bar and they have not cracked. The ratchets work smoothly and are also serviceable...you can take them apart, clean ad re-lubricate them if you wish. These are every bit as good as the Craftsman socket set i purchased back in the 1980's. One of the features I really like has nothing to to do with the sockets themselves but the case. I usually can not stand these types of cases but this one is an exception, It is the usual blow molded plastic but is is high quality and sturdy. It has decent hinges and nice clasps. The sockets are also easy to get in and out. For those of you who have ever tried to remove sockets from some of those cheap overly tight cases with greasy, oily fingers you ill know what I am talking about. More importantly, the case also makes it extremely easy to put them back when you are done. You just drop them back into their marked area in the case...no having to force them back into overly tight fitting slots. This is probably why I haven't lost any of them yet. The only minor fault I have to mention is the lever on the 3/8 ratchet seems easy to accidentally reverse if it hits something when being used in a confined space. This great value for the money. around $1 per piece CDN even less in $USD...and they are real pieces. This set of 69 = 69 real sockets, ratchets and extensions. No filler screwdriver bits and allen keys to increase the piece count. It is also both SAE and Metric so it covers most of my needs in 1/4 and 3/8 drive sockets. This is about as close to 5 stars as you can get.
