Its probably a Costco/BJ's exclusive that DeWalt makes for them, and them only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear his thoughhts Mike, that's the perfect type of kit for a homeowner plus it's got a lifetime warranty. I haven't tried any of their hand tools out but they look pretty decent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SetBuilder Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I bought some dewalt 3/8 impact sockets on amazon and do not like them. They do not have a "step" in them so nuts or bolt heads slide all the way up the socket. I would not buy them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Nice big Mike! I remember you posted that set you have awhile ago, nice to see all the bits and pieces still there! That's always my goal too, shame when you lose that first socket... Does that set you saw today have 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ratchet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not have a "step" in them so nuts or bolt heads slide all the way up the socket. I would not buy them again. See, I'm totally different. I prefer a deep broached socket. The shallow broached sockets (SK is a good example), are great for starting nuts, but they start backing off immediately and require much more clearance to use. Deep broached socket aren't as good for starting fasteners, but they don't start backing up until the fastener is further out. Most manufacturers broach 1/3 - 1/2 way through the socket. SK is notoriously shallow, and some manufacturers offer special deep broached versions. @Bigmikez: Nice pick up. That's a great set to throw in the truck for a road set or something. The Dewalt hand tools aren't bad. I'm not crazy about the ratchets you could anchor a sail boat with, but overall they aren't bad. The Wrenches are especially nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at a mechanic in my late teens to mid 20s, most of my sockets are SK, Mac or Snap on and they all have the step. So I guess that is just what i'm used to working with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Dewalt's life time warranty is for real. I had a set that the ratchet was a little off and I called them and the sent me a new one no question asked. I got to keep the old one too. Great service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
