These ratchets have a visual similarity to Crescent ratchets, and from what I can see of the sockets and wrenches, they look like lower-end fare as well.
I'd assume these are fit for purpose, but I question if these would live up to the Gearwrench promise of "pro" quality. Probably aimed at occasional or secondary use.

Apex puts a wide array of products under the "Gearwrench" brand. Some are really good. Some are more like what you get from Home Depot's Husky brand.
Some people expect a premium product from Gearwrench, I was just commenting that this doesn't look to be it.
But you might not need that! Maybe you want a starter set, or a second set, or an occasional set. Maybe you don't care.
As for the general question of what you can look at on a socket - not that much from a picture. But in person you can usually see the chroming job, whether there's anti-corrosion coating on the interior, the broaching, the drive retention relief design, wall thickness, size stamping, etc. Doesn't make cheaper sockets unusuable, but there is a difference.
