I've never understood why these portable sets include 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch drive ratchets with so many overlapping socket sizes. Why not just make everything 3/8 and include more socket sizes?

I love it because of the drawers and versastack system I can latch to additional storage.
HOWEVER, the ratchets they include...SUCK
Mine are always jamming up when using them. Harbor Freight composite ratchet is 10x better.
I blew a craftsman ratchet apart (smaller set with a molded case) and they replaced it with a nicer one (same serial number though?). Only problem is that it doesn't fit in the slot because its larger but its definitely an upgrade so I guess i cant complain

1/4" can fit in places that 3/8" can't. 1/2" can take more torque.
But I somewhat agree in that these sets often try too hard to be all encompassing.

That's true, but for a portable set it seems unnecessary. You'd probably need a breaker bar to surpass the torque limitations of 3/8, and they could always just include a small 3/8 ratchet for tighter spaces. The goal of a portable set should be lightweight and cover as many sizes as reasonably possible imo.
This is a good general set, can't really beat it in efficiency but I have found that building a set is more effective, so I have deep sockets, specialty bits on sockets, ratcheting wrenches, bolt biters, extensions etc and although this has cost me more $ I would do it this way if I had to start again, because I would spend about the same but have what I need vs have extra that i don't.

Otherwise, look up some YouTubes on rebuilding ratchets. It's not that hard. Or soak yours in oil or transmission fluid overnight to loosen them up.
