DEWALT Socket Set, 1/4-Inch & 3/8-Inch Drive, SAE/Metric, 34-Piece (DWMT73804)

It has a go handle carry it around easily and the ratchet is really nice with fine teeth , great for keeping in the car or walking around a junk yard to pull parts off dead cars in a pinch when you don’t feel like carrying a bucket and losing sockets, the case is sturdy stays closed easy to carry , I love this little set

good gift for my bro in law for Christmas. value for money.

I purchased this tool set a while back and just recently returned them for a refund because of poor quality. I have always been a big Dewalt fan but recently, the quality has gone downhill. Or to state it more correctly the quality never was good but simply mediocre the whole time. Let me explain. After returning this set I purchased the 3/8 Milwaukee 56 piece set from Home Depot. Mind you I have never owned anything made by Milwaukee in my life so I’m not a fanboy. When I kept seeing Milwaukee tools all over YouTube and hardly any Dewalt tool reviews I said to myself I must be missing something. After opening the Milwaukee set I immediately noticed the difference. The higher 90 tooth count and the wider paw in the Milwaukee was extremely noticeable. The clicks on the ratchet were much quieter and it was also very smooth. I also liked the longer handle for more leverage. After I opened the Dewalt ratchet I noticed it only has 72 teeth and a much small paw. All the sockets on the ratchet had a lot of slop compared to how tight the Milwaukee was. I’m guessing this is because of the wider paw it has which makes it tighter and gives it more stability. After watching the Project Farm channel on YouTube I was amazed to see that the Milwaukee ratchet broke at 312 ft lbs of torque while the Dewalt succomed at only 230 ft lbs! The Milwaukee also only had a backdrag of 499 compared to the much higher 799 on the Dewalt. But don’t get me wrong they both could be better. Wera tools which is a German brand was in the 200’s! I also found it interesting that if you watch the earlier videos of the YouTube channel Hammer and home he has nothing but Dewalt on the walls around him, in background but after he received the Milwaukee Packout he was so impressed he switched from the Dewalt storage system and went with Milwaukee. Now his wall behind him in the reviews shows half Dewalt products and half Milwaukee. He’s basically starting the switch. And this is how it begins Dewalt! This is how you lose customers! To be honest the tough system 2.0 needs a lot of work to get on Milwaukees level and to be honest Dewalt has had plenty of time but they have chosen to do nothing. The latest iteration is terrible so I don’t blame him for switching. But back to the Dewalt socket sets. Here is what I would do if I was Dewalt. 1. Use the Elite category at Dewalt to make new and improved Elite ratchet and socket sets. 2. Make it all 100%in the USA. 3. Make them 90 or 120 tooth like the Craftsman V series and make a wider paw to tighten things up. Also fix the backdrag issue. 4. Stop making them look cheap and make them look like a higher quality tool. Also strengthen the anvil which is the failure point of most ratchets. 5. Fix your tough system 2.0 and don’t put 3.0 on the next one. Simply call it the tough system Elite! But if you are going to call it that it better actually be Elite. By the way keep the original tough system and get rid of tstak. It’s garbage. Then you will simply have tough system and tough system Elite. 6. I shouldn’t have to be telling you all this. It is common sense and you are currently paying someone that should be doing all of the above.

I’m so happy I bought this set, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used this since I got it. Everything from replacing my car battery, putting together my son’s crib to replacing our toilet seat. You can either use the wrench provided or attach these bits to a drill with the provided attachment- no need for additional purchases. Seriously just stop considering anything else and buy it.

With a socket set I feel like the case is as important as the tools it holds. If your case is falling apart and you lose a socket, it wont matter how great the quality of that socket was-its gone. DeWalt got it all right on this one.

This is a great set.

Heavy duty. Well made.

Great for my work shop

I love DeWalt tools and these are no exception.

Dont overwork the Ratchet because of the gears made of a soft steel, and they are Not as strong as expected. Ratchet may get locked and it will be a hassle to make it function again. But overall I am happy with the Set.
