This is NOT a 173 piece set as shown at the website. It is a 50 piece set (51 pieces if you count the case) in the color black. The case latch is very difficult to slide to open and I have "popped" the case open several times and spilled all the sockets each time I have struggled with it.The "Spinner Handle" does NOT hold the sockets. They just fall right off. The small compression ball bearing to hold the sockets on is "stuck in" and useless.The ratchet does hold the sockets on but now, the sockets are becoming more and more difficult to put onto the ratchet and remove. The small compression ball that holds the sockets onto the "Ratchet" is now failing.I really like this handy set of 1/4" sockets but I am VERY disappointed with the poor quality of both the ... MoreThis is NOT a 173 piece set as shown at the website.

I wish they would work properly.I have always liked "DeWalt" products and would still recommend their tools. Just NOT this set. They really "dropped the ball" on the quality of this set. The "Value" of this set would be GREAT if it worked properly.

This great compact set that won't take up a lot of room in your tool box or truck. The ratchet works really well in tight spaces, that extra little click you get out the ratchet makes all the difference in the world in a tight spot. Love this mechanics tool set!

Love it! The size of it makes it incredibly portable, and so far it's the perfect quantity of tools that it can solve needs you might encounter without being too heavy or too large. It is really a shame that DeWalt does not seem to manufacture this anymore. I'd recommend this over virtually any other similar tool set.

Impulse buy at Costco, with $10 off for a reason. If they told what was in it, you might skip it. My biggest beef is the "bits" about which they say nothing. Therefore I will list the inventory of bits:Phillips #3, quantity 4Phillips #2, quantity 4Phillips #1, quantity 3Flat blades (not flat head doh!) 5 sizes from 3 to 6Robertson R3 quantity 2Robertson R2 quantity 2Robertson R1 quantity 2The Robertson (square) bits are cute. Has anyone here ever seen a use for one???This "bit" selection reeks of padding to reach 50 pcs count. But since nothing is marked or specified here, next year the same item might have the 7 most useful Allen bits in SAE and the 7 most useful in metric madness.Other comments about the horrible packaging and the case are on ... MoreImpulse buy at Costco, with $10 off for a reason.

But since nothing is marked or specified here, next year the same item might have the 7 most useful Allen bits in SAE and the 7 most useful in metric madness.Other comments about the horrible packaging and the case are on target. Few minutes with a sharpie and you can mark up your case, as the manufacturer should have built in to it. Top side up to open is important! In all fairness, top half has logo painted black while bottom it's natural yellow. No idea why screwdriver handle is called "spinner." It's just a perfectly good handle.
I saw this tool set at Costco. My first thought was to buy one to check out for possible gifting to a few young people I know as a nice beginner ratchet set.It took me fifteen minutes to go through the process of figuring out how the pieces in the set worked together. Kind of clever, but not like the ratchet sets I have and use regularly, which aren't designed to work with driver bits.I have a collection of DeWalt power tools and a few DeWalt hand tools...all came with some kind of chart or instruction manual to help get me started using them immediately.Won't be buying more sets to gift.
While the case is a little difficult to open. It is nice and small to carry around the shop. The sockets and ratchet were of good quality. The sockets were of all the normal sizes and the screwdriving feature came in handy more than once.
Not sure what other reviewers are upset about. Perhaps they are confused about what they bought or are not familiar with hand tools.The product is exactly as described and presented in person. I also bought at Costco. Yes, the clamshell is somewhat difficult as they all are. But no where on the package or in the picture is it stated that the set includes more than 50 pieces--all chrome. The tray was presented in the clamshell in open position, so the content and color is very obvious to the purchaser.The sockets do hold on tight enough to all of the tools and extenders and the screwdriver bits are held well in the bit adapter. Nothing drops off and any tighter and they would be difficult to remove as they are relatively small.Absolutely nothing to complain ... MoreNot sure what other reviewers are upset about.

I just purchased two of these from Costco.I know share the same pain as most of the other reviewers. However, I have a new one for the on-going list of bad marks.I figured out how to keep the screwdriver bits in the bit holder, but... how in the heck do it get them back out now???? The set should have included a pair of pliers included for this operation.... I think.Other than that, many tool cases have the same opening issue. I just right TOP on the top so I'm not chasing stuff all over the floor.
I bought this at Costco, and I was immediately disappointed when I opened it. First of all it was the most difficult outer plastic clamshell package I've ever open. I usually have no trouble with them, but this one took me 5+ minutes to open.The case that's included looks convenient, and it's one of the reasons I bought this set. But it doesn't hold onto the sockets, so if you open it upside down they all fall out.The pictures and description here are incorrect. This is a 50 piece set, not a 173pc set like the description says. And the photos show a black finish, but mine is chrome. But the part number of the set I have matches what's listed here, DWMT81610.
This is a high quality ratchet and set of sockets Made in Taiwan.The Ratcheting mechanism is smooth with decent tooth count (72). The length is good and the handle is great. The head is serviceable. Best of all, it’s low profile including the selector set. There’s enough Youtube videos on the quality of these ratchets to satisfy homeowners and professionals.The sockets and adapters are machined precisely, locking securely to the ratchet anvil without that floppiness / wobble you see in cheaper sets.The speeder handle is ergonomic. The exensions have decent knurling to allow for finger turning.The bits lock securely into the bit adapter.The case is rugged.About sockets falling out: it’s easy to identify right side up. The top side has DeWalt in big black ... MoreThis is a high quality ratchet and set of sockets Made in Taiwan.The Ratcheting mechanism is smooth with decent tooth count (72).

The exensions have decent knurling to allow for finger turning.The bits lock securely into the bit adapter.The case is rugged.About sockets falling out: it’s easy to identify right side up. The top side has DeWalt in big black letters on it. And even if you open both sides together, the sockets do not fall out. You’d have to open the case upside down to get them to fall out. This is a typical design for these types of cases. At least the DeWalt is deep and precise enough that sockets don’t fall out of their slots just from moving it around.I have zero complaints about this set and can recommend it to homeowners, DIYers, and professionals who need to keep an extra set that’s easy to grab and go.That being said, there’s always room for improvement. My suggestions for improving the set:1. Include a 5.5mm socket. There’s room for a slot adjacent to the bit adapter.2. Include a female drive end on the spinner handle. While the knurling on the extensions is nice, being able to use a spinner handle as an extension adds flexibility and matches the overall quality of this set.3. Include some common torx bits instead of extra screwdriver bits.4. I’m not sure if the bits are S2 tool steel or CrV. If they are CrV, upgrade them to S2. Then we won’t need dupes.
