Buyer beware: I've had this tool set going on 3 years. I've had a swivel socket break, two torx bits, the 1/4in wrench, and a hex bit. They were all less than ideal to replace, with the swivel and torx bits being the most upsetting.
Their "lifetime warranty" of course, only applies if they actually have the item in stock. They did not, and referred me to an Amazon link to buy the bit for a whopping $10. When I asked how I would be reimbursed, the guy just sat silently. I had to call 3 or 4 other physical DeWalt warranty centers to find one with one in stock willing to ship it
As for the ones they did have replacements for, there is no online warranty process. I spent 30+ minutes on the phone, navigating a "press 1 to" prompt, sitting on hold, and going back and forth describing the actual tool I need to be replaced, and having to Google the part numbers the rep spit out. Once or twice, I had to find the part number myself to show him what I needed replaced. Oh, and the swivel joint? The guy had NO CLUE what I was even referring to. That took at least 15 minutes to convince him he was not thinking of the same part I was.
There are no physical locations to pick up warranty claims, so you must wait for snail mail.
Good toolset nonetheless, but this is just in the spirit of full disclosure.
It has come to our attention that Titus Pullo no longer uses SAE socket sets. Therefore you should no longer manufacture SAE socket sets of any type. Although we do not have an official date that Titus reached this decision, we are reaching out to you immediately upon receiving the public declaration of his/her decision.
We will also be letting every other industry around the globe to begin the immediate replacement of every bolt and nut currently in use that has been design in the SAE standard as it is now useless.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.
This is the best Dewalt set you can get. No filler junk and a quality case. Last year these were $99 during black Friday but you will never see that price again. Definitely worth it at $150.

Manufacturers should start making metric only sets. I never use SAE.

They sent dupe of one of the sockets, I emailed DeWalt and had the correct one within a week or so.
