Socket spanner set 19 DMU-20 (click here)

The tools look very solid, though sadly, the case was badly scratched inside where things had moved about and had to be returned.

First thing to mention is the extension is not a 'wobble' as in the picture.Action of the ratchet is beautiful, very comfortable handle and good mechanism.Choice of socket sizes is strange to me: 12mm but no 14mm for Japanese stuff and brakes, omission of 21mm is annoying too.Set could perhaps be improved by adding a universal joint and a handle to the box.

The sockets are beautifully made and have a weight and texture that I really like, much preferred over the Snap-on chrome sockets I’ve been using. The ratchet feels good overall, I like the size, comfortable grip, good balance…mechanism doesn’t sound as good as I’d expected and it has a bit of slop in the head.. haven’t looked yet to see if it’s loose, just opened and wanted to share initial impressions. For the price I think the sockets and extension (didn’t know it had a wobble end) alone are worth it so time will tell on the ratchet.. it’s not bad at all but it’s not quite as precise as I was expecting. I’ll put it to work soon and update.Still five stars for me though because of the sockets. Nice selection (I did order a 7&9) of sockets and the case and foam are also a bonus. I rarely use cases but the foam insert drops right into my tool chest. Perfect!

Real made in Germany Gedore build quality. This set has a great range of socket sizes up to 32mm, but does have a couple skips in smaller sizes (no 11mm or 14mm, but you can add them and could probably get them to fit in the case). The wobble end on the extension is nice. Sure the ratchet is 60 tooth v. 80 like Stahlwille or 90 like Hazet, but it is sufficiently fine and feels stronger. The main thing is that it is extremely high quality and built beefier than other German brands and for an excellent price (set was under $100). This seems better than the Gedore 1/4 and 1/2 case set which is more than twice the money.

Ein sehr schönes Set, qualitativ über jeden Zweifel erhaben, so zumindest der erste Eindruck und auch die Erfahrung mit Gedore. Habe ein ähnliches Set von Hazet, deutlich teurer aber da wirken die Knarre (allerdings auch nur 24 Zähne) und vor allem die Verlängerung etwas belastbarer. Gerade bei der Knarre wusste ich das aber vorher und wollte bewusst noch eine Feinverzahnte. Daher für mich wie erwartet, aber man sollte sich vorher überlegen, was man benötigt und mit wie viel Kraft man arbeiten will und muss. Die Verlängerung ist mit 230 NM angegeben, für 1/2 Zoll auch nicht extrem viel, aber steht hier in der Beschreibung und geht daher in Ordnung. Für mich einfach eine günstige Möglichkeit, an die Knarre und die Nüsse zu kommen und alles auch mit einer passenden Schaumstoffeinlage für die Werkzeugkiste. Bin daher happy, aber habe mich auch vorher bisschen länger damit beschäftigt, was ich will (brauchen tut man Gedore, Hazet und Co ja privat eh nicht, man will es) und da passt das Set sehr gut. Wer einfach nur kauft, weil es relativ günstig ist, könnte enttäuscht sein.

this is one heavy duty set, feels durable, solid and heavy in the hands. knurling is pretty good and handle is comfy, not soft but more like hard rubber. ratchet is actually pretty fine tooth and socket release works well. the finish is rough like most European brands like stahlwille, hazet, elora, etc. Gedore perhaps moreso than others, however, i personally prefer the satin nickel finish over super-polished tools but to each their own.case also holds everything in nicely, can turn it upside down and nothing will fall out.

I initially bought this set because my old Craftsman 1/2" ratchet finally gave up the ghost and my local Sears closed. I had concerns because the beam of the ratchet is wider than the US makers and the finish is matte. After using it for a while this is a beautiful set. The ratchet is super smooth with very little drag. I found that I didn't have to put my finger on fairly loose nuts to keep them from rotating while I ratcheted. The ratchet feels great in my hands and the reverse lever and quick release button are easy to access and work smoothly. The sockets are all 6 point and seem to be good quality. I can imagine there would be a situation where the wide beam could make it harder to access a bolt but I haven't run into it yet.
