23 Piece 3/8" Drive Pass-Thru™ 6 Point Standard SAE/Metric Mechanics Tool Set | 893823

Sockets and ratchet looks high quality. I liked the feel of the ratchet and its locking mechanism

Great for quick access to a wrench and not have to think about sae or metric, shallow or deep. Flex neck is built well. Wish the wrench had more teeth but its more than usable for most jobs around the garage and not have to dig in the tool box. I love it.

I find these pass through sets good for limited clearance nuts and bolts. They are shorter than a standard depth socket on a conventional ratchet but give you a little more offset than a ratcheting box end wrench. Just works better sometimes. The ratchet head is slim and doesn’t have a huge amount of back drag, but it does feel like it has more than their 120xp ratchets. I consider it a fair tradeoff for possibly improved access.

I will start off by saying what i dislike the most about this set, nothing is interchangeable in any way with any other tool brand, as opposed to harbor freights Pittsburgh brand pass threw sockets that can fit into any standard 3/4" spline drive. Then next thing i like the least , is that the gear wrench sockets, and extensions do not lock into the ratchet, and dont fit all that tightly. I have read that some say they fit very tight, and are hard to get out, i would actually rather that be the case, in my set i feel like they could too easily fall out when i don't want them too. Leaving me looking for a lost socket some where in my engine compartment. I used them to replace all the components of the cooling system of my truck, and during that process, i noticed that there were many instances when i was working with bolts that were already loose that there was no ratcheting action at all because the bolt does not have enough resistance. This is normal for all ratchets , however on these there is little on the back or even on the socket to hold on to to help them out. All this being said, they ate very nice tools, the fit into tight places like no others will, there is no need to worry if the socket is deep enough, and they have a very short click, less then 5 degree. Also i found that the variable angle adjustment super handy, and i love that it locks into place! They also seem to grip the bolt or nut head tighter then my craftsman set, and i think they would work better on slightly damaged or frozen bolts, with less chance of rounding off the bolt head. So all in all, i would say they are an amazing supplement to your standard traditional sockets, but they might not be a good choice as a replacement only, you may need to have both in many cases to get the job done properly.

I also have a 1/4" socket set, 3/8" socket set, and convinced my job to get the combo case. Tools have great quality and live through lots of dropping and abuse. Lowest issue is the cases are cheap. I have had to bolt the hinge after they break. And trim your own foam insert from drawer mats. I haven't ever had a plastic case that I've be happy with, so no stars off. Tool itself is 5 stars.

I was looking for a metric only set before since i didn't want to carry around extra bits, but i settled on this one. It only weighs may be 50 grams more than a craftsman 3/8 socket wrench and the extra volume doesn't make it noticeable. It does create a more shallow profile than other wrenches, but i did not test out the deep socket capabilities on it. The sockets seem to have less or equal giggle play in it than the craftsman too. I wanted to use this as the "one" to pull out to do most jobs. I think it would do that well if it came with a 8mm socket. So i just got a standard 8mm and hooked it up to the adapter and store it in the convenient compartment where the handle rests. The price was good and I wanted a full set with a case instead of scouring the bottom of a bag for tools. I can attest to the quality as well. To be honest I couldn't stop staring at it since i bought it! It is my first wrench and socket box set and it looks so foreign compared to the traditional sockets and wrenches i have been using.

Great for oil changes

This GearWrench GearRatchet Vortex Socket Set is a great addition to your tool chest. I also purchased the 62 piece set. They are smooth, strong, and well polished. The low profile will fit where other ratchets will not. The only problem that I noticed while using them is that the extension attachments are not held in quit as tight as they should be and tend to slip out. Other than that, I have no complaints. I prefer to use this set for most of my work. It is nice to be able to use sockets on those all-threads where you would need a 1 foot or more deep-socket. You will never need a deep socket again! I am no stranger to good tools. These are good tools. This set makes a great emergency tool set too.

Don’t know our managed without them Great piece of kit

Solid "prosumer" quality with smooth, tight action. The combined locking "flex head" and "pass thru" rachet design is worth the extra cost when working in tight spaces (yes, I'm looking at you, Dodge). Product arrived quickly - chrome looks great - nice weight balancing. Carrying case is solid, snugly holds the wrench and sockets while enabling compact shelf storage and quick access. A very useful supplement to standard socket wrench sets, this tool significantly reduced the time I required to remove and reassemble previously difficult parts (and still keep skin on my knuckles).

la herramienta es de una calidad media, el contenedor es plástico al igual que las bisagras, cuesta bastante abrir el contenedor al menos al ser nuevo y en ocasiones se percibe que se pueden llegar a romper las cerraduras ya que también son plásticas, todo es de una calidad regular, el ratch es más grande que el promedio mide 12", el sistema de bloqueo de las posiciones de la cabeza del ratch no es el mejor y tiene bastante de movimiento aún y estando bloqueado (incluyo un vídeo de ello) el ratch se puede utilizar con sockets standard de 3/8 ya que se incluye un adaptador, también es una ratch de bajo perfil para aplicaciones convencionales, cómo ejemplo un socket regular de 10MM con entrada de cuadró 3/8" mide 28MM a está medida abría que agregar el alto de un ratch convencional, un socket de 10MM ya en el ratch pass throught mide solo 32MM y el socket más grande que se incluye de 19MM solo se aumentan un milímetro más, son prácticamente iguales en todas sus medidas, una buena herramienta que no es de uso diario y cuando se necesite se agradecera tener, por el precio correcto una exelente compra.

Produto excelente. Mas o preço poderia ser mais atrativo.

Used on Heavy Vehicles mostly to conduct valve adjustments as the pass through allows access for the hex driver/screwdriver to lock the valve into place whilst holding the setting steady. Slightly easier than manually with a box head spanner because of efficiency/laziness.
