Gedore R45603172 172 Socket Set, 172 Pieces in Case, 1/2-inch 3/8" and 1/4" Sockets and Bits

Really nice tool setup. Quality feel. I wished I would have bought these a long time ago. Knurled grip is great for hand movement of lose bolts. Well designed set and case. Totally worth it.

I was on the market looking for my first ratchet mechanic set to work on my motorcycles and cars, not aiming for the snap on or husky/frabor qualities and prices, somewhere in the middle price range and quality. was really hard to choose between the 192 dewalt set and the tektons 3 case sets.I'm very happy i choose this set being so Comprehensive, someone really set on their *** and put a though on this set, thinking about all the needs as a mechanic and put this wonderful tool box.The sockets are secured in and out with the red buttonthe only thing i dislike about it is the allen key set were just throwed in it but other than that this is amazing and the price was fair.I had to put some oil inside the ratchet handles, they arrived silty drythis set of tools will hold up for many years and give me a good start off for my home diy mechanic jobs.Hopefully will invest in Gedore blue in the future which are on another level.I wouldn't say its not for mechanic shops and pros but its defiantly over kill for the DIY weekend warriors out there, it's the best set as first one to have because it really kicks you off with everything you need, well organized and super comphernsive.

This is an amazing deal! The quality is excellent. For $144 it includes every socket and bit you'd ever need to work on your vehicle. It has hex sockets from 4 mm all the way up to 32 mm with no gaps. Deep well hex sockets from 4 mm to 22 mm. A complete set of Torx bits. A complete set of screwdriver bits. Three sizes of spark plug sockets. 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in drive ratchet wrenches. Socket extensions and U-joints. Very high quality, it's an incredible deal! All you would need is a set of wrenches and pliers to have a complete tool set.

My only knock is for the plastic molded storage box, else it's a five start tool kit and includes everything you could possible every need as a DIY for metric sockets/bits.

I needed something like this for a linking time, and finally when I decided to purchase some, my agony began :(. So many choices out there. I started my own online research because I wanted to purchase something with tremendous quality and stress free. So it took me few days of research, I mean not complete full day, but research for few days for quite some time each day. I explored so many options and I read so many feedbacks and reviews here and there, and unfortunately it turned out that the affordable American 🇺🇸, brands for not so professional use ( I know that there is more professional and expensive products from all this companies that I researched) are not of the same quality anymore. I read so much complaints about the most of them!I was pointing my interest mainly to the Craftsman, as reputable old American 🇺🇸, brand, but it turned out that it was purchased by Stanley & Black&Decker, and the quality is not longer the same. People are mainly complaining about the quality and durability of their wrenches, and the fact that they often break :(.So after all, as a European, I remember to check one of the super famous European, brands, and most particular thanks God, I remember to check for this brand, namely GEDORE. Luckily I was able to read exactly what I was looking for and was so happy and excited! It turned out that Amazon, happens to sell the brand, and I’m so happy about it!I did my research again before I make the purchase, just in case, and it turned out that GEDORE, also have lifetime warranty on their tools, which was awesome! Also it turned out that their manufacturing is still in Germany 🇩🇪, and two other European, countries, and the far away one was Taiwan 🇹🇼, but the company assures that the quality is not compromised and I don’t know why, but I trust their statement.So I got my tool set delivered few days ago, even had the chance to try it out, and so far it’s awesome and the quality and the feeling is very very good 👍🏻! Highly recommend this brand in general, and most particularly the tool sets from them.

this set is composed of ALL METRIC pieces excellent for any car from anywhere in the world with the exception of very few vehicles that use the SAE system here in the US. very well thought from the choice of 6 POINTS sockets both in deep version and not . the steel is vanadium reinforced, and the sockets are "textured" to facilitate their handling with oily or greasy hands. GEDORE RED is made in Taiwan but it is by any means less effective than the GEDORE from Europe. The only imperfection is the 1/2 inch drive for the spark plugs sockets the attachment is rather heavy and wide especially for the newer and mode delicate sparkplugs a thinner (3/8) would give better control

This set has everything. Torx, e-torx, hex, pozidriv through very large i sizes and the sockets don’t have skips until you get very large. It also has 3/8 drive which is unusual for European tools. The price for quality ratio is extremely high. I have bought three of these and also have given them away to people starting out in the hobby. Yes, it’s Taiwan made. No, it’s not German made. Yes, the ratchets are not as nice as the Gedore blue ratchets, but it’s quality and well priced. It is the most popular socket set in Germany for a very good reason.

So I’ve waited for a while to write this review. I’ve owned this set for 4 years now, and I’ve used them A LOT. So here goes my 2 cents. This is an excellent tool set to have on hand. I carry them in my truck because it has so many useful tools. Sockets, wrenches, allen wrenches, torx ribe…it’s really an amazing set. Perfect for the weekend warrior or for the guy who spends weekends at the track, including off road bikes. The sockets and wrenches are well made and very robust. I use them over my snap on, and Husky because the tool set is all together and is so handy. While I like my snap on ratchet a little more, If I don’t already own some snap on stuff I probably wouldn’t miss them…of course it’s missing a couple size sockets, other than than that…its a great socket set.
