I bought 2 sets at $19.98 and ended up returning them both. The ratchet is nearly impossible to get out of the case, and the screwdriver handle isn't much easier. The ratchets in both of mine were very poor quality and they both would switch directions while in use. I know it's now only $10 ( I'm actually tempted to try my luck again) but I would set your expectations appropriately.

I took it apart and these ratchets are not lubricated. What you need to do is to buy superlube. Take apart the gearing mechanism, elongate the little spring, and lubricate all the gears. It works fine once it's put back together. I know it's a hassle, but I actually do this to my gear wrench tools also.

OK guys. I thought the comments about how hard it is to get the ratchet out maybe were insane, but I just got mine and it's true -- it's a huge pain to get it out!

However once you do get it out the first time, I find that if you replace the ratchet 'upside-down' -- i.e. with the anvil up/facing you, you can then 'swipe' the anvil to the side with your thumb and the ratchet will pop out of the clips. Then you can just lift it out.

You're welcome....

Won't help with the sockets but I suppose you might be able to crank most of them (all but the tiniest) to the side with the spinner tip and pop those out.

In mine, most of them can be pulled with a good finger pinch. With the others I can generally move the surrounding one(s) out of the way to get a better grip, or lever it a bit with the spinner.

You must be new here. At SD, we buy solutions and then search for problems. Or as some seasoned SDers would say, buy first, think later.

This exactly! Buy now, think later, and return if you want. Absolutely no loss! Only great deals!

They ring up as $19.98 at the Lowe's close to me. I showed them the online price and they matched it.

I bought this set at 19.98, and just bought 2 more at this price! Its a no brainer.

I did have to return the first set as the ratchet was very notchy and sometimes the teeth inside would jam up, so be sure to test it out when you get it.

Keep one on the ATV, and now one in the camper, and one on the boat. Good all around set!

Nice set but how do you remove the ratchet from the case? The ratchet is smooth all around and there is no place where you can place a finger to pull it out

Unless this is a different version I picked this set up last year and it wasn't great at all quality wise. I get that it's just $10 but everything about the set was cheap. The socket material seemed thinner and the wrench was really wobbly with the extension added. This might be a good back up but don't expect it to last very long.

There are 2 "Bit Couplers" in the set: one has a normal six-sided slot that all the bits appear to fit; but the other coupler has a tiny six-sided slot that does not seem to fit with any bits in the set. So what is the latter bit coupler for?

In mine, there's the SAE 1/4" socket (bits will fit in it, but won't get retained), and a specialty 1/4" bit adapter that has retention mechanism to keep bits inserted. You have to "overcome" the retention forces by pressing the bit into the adapter.

Great little set to keep in the cars for that just in case moment. For $10 it's a no brainer to have on hand. Paired this with the hex key set for $3 more.
