I also got the 192 pc set (DWMT75049) a couple months back when it was $120. Either set is pretty near a completist socket set for DIY'er needs. All 6 point sockets, which was a plus for me,...

I looked at the set closely again, and I am surprised to see that it is missing a 12mm wrench? That is kind of surprising. I have a few extra 12mm wrenches. Not a big deal though. Given a set of 9...

This is a pretty well known set and the only difference between this 204 piece set and the popular 192 piece set during Christmas sale is the 12 wrenches. Given the 192 piece set was sold at $120,...

As far as I can see, the only short coming of this set is that the 1/4 drive set is missing the 5.5 mm sockets and the wrenches seem to be 12 points. (I think I once needed a 5.5mm to fix a laptop...

The ratchet drives are definitely heavier than most. Not bulky (for example a larger head might cause problems where access is tight - not a problem here), just very solid due to the relatively thick...

Most non-ratcheting box end wrenches are going to be 12-point. They only require enough room to swing 30° to use and reposition, while 6-point wrenches require 60°.

Some Amazon review mentioned that the ratchets are too bulky and heavy. For those who already got this set, is this a serious issue?

I have this set. It's great if you need a lot of sockets. It feels like really good quality. The problem is it's huge and really heavy. To open it up you'll need a lot of space. The sockets stay...

Expected delivery date is now May 16 (instead of your May 24). They float all the time. I had an Amazon order slated for four weeks out when ordered in late March on a different item. It came a week...

If you're willing to wait, Costco has a 173 piece for $80 quite regularly. I've seen it at least once a year in mine.

I was able to use an SAE 7/32 socket instead of a 5.5mm to remove a steering column!

7/32" = 5.556 mm

I have other DeWalt sets and they are great tools. Made in Taiwan....

I bought the 192 pc when HD had them on sale. I believe Amazon matched their price on that particular day also. I had researched all the Dewalt Tool sets beforehand and concluded the 192 had more...
