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

I have owned this since March 2025, and while I haven't used it frequently, I have been satisfied with it. First, the versatility of this set is good. It is a 3/8" drive with a 1/4" adapter, which is pretty much everything a person needs. There are many socket sizes (I believe there are 30 sockets total). Each socket is clearly marked with the metric size and fit comfortably in the carrying case. The sockets fit on the ratchet securely and are easy to remove when done. In addition to that, this set comes with a 3" extension if you would need it. The overall quality of the set is great - the tools have a very nice brushed metal finish, the carrying case has a shaded plastic, and the locks on the case do their job. I have used this in a few different applications from small automotive fixes to appliances, and it does the job well and still looks brand new after. If you can get a good deal on this, I would recommend it. For most people, this is everything you need and more

Let me start by saying that I purchased this set with the intent of having a small socket set to keep in the trunk for roadside emergencies. Being that my Corolla uses metric fasteners, I wanted a kit that had a decent range of sizes. After comparing several similarly sized and priced sets, this one seemed to offer the best versatility and price. I decided to replace the 7/8" and 13/16" SAE sockets with 20mm and 21mm sockets, respectively, to increase the upper size range of the metric set. Unfortunately, while attempting to remove a caliper bolt this weekend, the ratchet gears have bound up. While attempting to break the bolt loose, I heard a *click*. I looked at the ratchet to find that the direction lever was now in the middle, and it could not be moved left or right. The socket would not turn left or right either. I was very surprised at the notion that a Dewalt brand tool would fail under such low stress. Fortunately, I had my Kobalt set nearby to finish the job. Aside from the paperweight of a ratchet, the rest of this set is really nice. You get a pretty wide size range of metric and SAE sockets, a low profile case, good quality sockets with nice size label engraving on them, and a bit of extra space under the organizer tray to store additional items. Another reviewer here mentioned that the clear plastic lid of the case was flimsy and will likely not last long, however, I'm of the opinion that it should be sufficiently durable for being kept in a trunk or in a drawer as a backup set. The space underneath the the plastic organizer that the tools are nestled in can be used to store additional items. In there I have two large sockets (the original 7/8" and 13/16" sockets from this set that I swapped for more metric sockets), a 10" long ⅜" extension, a 6" long ⅜" extension, and a 3" long ⅜" extension. There is enough space that you could fit a few more small accessories in there as well. The box advertises Dewalt's Limited Lifetime Warranty, so I'm going to try to reach out to Dewalt customer support and see if they'll replace the ratchet. I really like the rest of the kit, and I'd rather not send the whole set back through Amazon's return process if I don't have to. I'll update this review if I hear back from Dewalt or Amazon. UPDATE 07/20/22: After explaining the situation to Dewalt customer support by email, Dewalt shipped a replacement ratchet, which arrived in about a week and a half. The new ratchet functions fine so far, perhaps I just happened to get a dud the first time around. 5 stars to Dewalt's customer service team for honoring the advertised warranty and issuing a replacement without any hassle.

I bought this DEWALT 34-Piece Socket Set over a year ago, and after using it for all this time, I had to share how well it has held up. I am just an amateur when it comes to tools, but I have used this set extensively for working on my car and doing maintenance on my lawn mower. Here is why I love it: Total Peace of Mind: Using this set gives me genuine peace of mind. The ratchet feels heavy and secure, and the sockets lock onto bolts perfectly. Whether I was working on the car engine or the mower blades, I never worried about the tool slipping or breaking. It just feels safe to use. Still "Rust Clean": This is the most impressive part. Even after owning it for over a year and keeping it in the garage, the tools are completely rust clean. The finish is still shiny and looks brand new. Perfect for Home Use: Since it has both Metric and Standard (SAE) sizes, it covered everything I needed for both vehicles without needing extra tools. If you want a set that lasts over the long haul without getting rusty or worn out, this is the one to get.
