Community Reviews
This DeWALT 192 piece mechanic set stands out as a strong starter kit for car work, with broad socket coverage, deep 1 quarter inch and 3 eighth inch ranges, included extensions, and all 6 point sockets that help avoid rounding. The selection feels practical rather than padded, with no skipped sizes or filler bits, and the sockets are useful for common jobs like oil changes and water pump work. The main drawbacks are the ratchets, which feel weak in backdrag, and the case, which is heavy, bulky, and can let sockets fall out or stick. A solid all around socket set if you want coverage more than a fancy case.

Anyone know how the ratchet mechanisms compare to nicer ratchets, i.e. do they feel nice with low backdrag?
Edit: Snagged before it goes OOS, lol
I cancelled that order and reordered it with a fixed ship date

Do not hesitate.
If you have ever wanted a spare full set you can count on (you do) or a set for the car. I've waited about a year to pull the trigger.
I also appreciate that it doesn't bother with a few token wrenches. Those frequently have so many gaps/limited range thus you will need to get a wrench set anyway.
...but I've had Amazon do what was described before, too, where an old pending order ('shipped/sold by amazon') seems to have been 'forgotten about' with an ETA like 1-2w+ out, but the product page shows currently in stock with next day shipping (also shipped/sold by amazon).

Is this actually a good starter set for a new mechanic? Apparently a local social worker runs a program that helps poor youths get into and complete mechanic training and land their first jobs, and they could use mechanics set donations. Would love to donate one of these and partially defray the cost by selling the other, but never having worked as a mechanic, I'd like to make sure it would suit the purpose to a decent degree. Otherwise I'll just re-sell them both.
