Great quality socketry, especially the fully rebuildable ratchet. Very solid box as well. Good value at price paid, but overpriced at list! this set seems to have replaced about half my tool kit, and only needs to be supplemented with a few larger spanners and sockets, along with an appropriate larger ratchet, for most jobs on either my car or my cycle. The small diameter of the sockets and extensions has proved be invaluable when working in confined areas, such as when working on diesel injectors. only downside i can think of is that it is so nice to use that i am sometimes tempted to keep on using it when i should really move up to at least a 3/8 drive in order to avoid over-loading the ratchet. Nothing broken yet though. Also, the 'screwdriver' handle is not the best, being a little 'plasticky'. My bost compact ratcheting screwdriver is still my number one choice here.

I cannot say enough about this little set. Sturdy , reliable , handy and excellent value. Good for tight recesses that inhibit a full rstchet ( down the side of an elevator cab) and electrical panel work. The box is pretty dolid as i've dropped it once or twicebbut the neat thing is the socketsvetc stay in their place and don't scatter. Its pretty much pocket sized and i've found i have used this more than i would use my screwdrivers. All in all.... A cracking buy

Excellent piece of kit purchased to replace an old ck set in which the bits tend to fall out all over the garage floor if you don't open it correctly. Facom items are captive except handle and ratchet. Also good range of bit and socket sizes complete the package.
