Am I the only one shocked there is an 11/32 included in that set?
That is one reason I bought these. Alot of door hardware on 50's, 60's and 70's cars and trucks have this size
What is it?? Number 8 or 10 sheet metal screw is this size as well

Here's some pics of the sae set. The open end has a surface drive configuration.

The tool set is ok. I've used the tools sparingly without issue. I got it for around 120 dollars when it was on sale with addition of associate discount and some syw points
I don't think I would have picked it up at full retail.
Now the ratchet wrenches have done really well and they have become my go to sets. I like them better than the other brands I have--craftsman, blue point, gearwrench, titan and cornwell.

The wrenches look pretty nice. I didn't realize the had the ASD/KnuckleSaver open end on them.
Are the wrenches Taiwan also?
I'm not really sure?? I didn't pay attention. I'll have to look the next time I am in Sears .
I know the ratchet wrenches are sourced from Taiwan

Here's some pictures of dewalt mechanics tools. The pictures are not the clearest as I'm still playing with this new camera. Hopefully the next batch that I take will be better.
Some other brands were used for comparison purposes.

We love pics....duh!
Have you had the rats apart yet?
Guess I need to get the camera ready.
Of course I ?took one apart. Isn't that a prerequisite to joining one of these tool forums? The obsessive curiosity syndrome to see how things work?

Speaking of dewalt tools,
I have the 200 something piece set and a set of metric and sae ratchet wrenches.
You all want to see some pics?? anything in particular?

I suspected as much. Ease of warranty is a big deal for most of the Sear's customer base that remains. The wrenches seem nice, but the rats are too big and clunky feeling for my taste.
Ease of warranty is one of those personal things. Certain tools that I buy that I break rather easily, I prefer an easy warranty. Torx bits, Hex bits, screwdrivers being some.
Seeing how I've been using tools for nearly 40 years, I have bunches and bunches of stuff so breaking something doesn't stop me from getting something done. I have another so I can wait a couple weeks to mail stuff in or wait for the tool truck guy to get a new one. Contrary to what gets posted on another site, the tool truck guy doesn't have everything is stock.
Somebody who is just starting out that doesn't have back ups for back ups, easy fast warranty would be a bigger selling point

I'd love to know how the Dewalt sets are really selling
Not as well as was hoped.
To warranty these tools requires a receipt and contacting dewalt. In other words one is not carrying a broken dewalt tool into Sears and exchanging it. I'm wondering if this may be a cause.

I found this site through conductors tag line on another forum.
Always a good thing to find a garage/tool forum and see what everyone is doing, working with, and related discussions.

I have one of these ratchets. I got it back late summer last year from the wife who is a manager at sears. They were given out at a Sears convention in Vegas.
I've found it works well when removing front wheel tub to firewall supports on 60's/70's ford trucks.The wobble feature comes in handy in tight quarters in this application.
Other than that--meh
It's intended market appears to be for apartment/condo dwellers kitchen tool drawer.
