Draper 1/4" 45 Piece Square Drive Metric Socket Set | Micrometre Reversible Hand Tool |Soft Grip Ratchet | 12 Metrics Sockets Mechanics Car Tools | Metal Storage Case | Hex Bit Adaptor | 16365

This is a superb little piece of kit. It has all the socket (shallow and deep), as well as the ratchet and handle for driver flexibility. It’s also about £20 cheaper than a similar draper set at tool station, yet offers more tools.

Good solid set. Worth the price

Draper is decent kit. This is not professional quality, but will be good enough for home use or light trade use. Comes in a robust hinged metal case with 2 latches on the lid. The inner tray is rather flimsy, though and is likely to crack with heavy use. There are no marked places for each size of socket, so you need to be a bit disciplined in putting them back carefully with the size markings visible. The screwdriver/nut spinner handle is a bit smaller than I expected (compared to my old basic Halfords set). However, it has a square socket on the back so you can connect the T handle for more torque. The screwdriver bits come in two little removable strip holder, which is good. The ratchet handle is smooth in use. One small niggle is the screwdriver bit holder that is part of the set has a ball detent held in place with an external spring clip. I have found it quite difficult to insert and remove the bits. However, I expect this to soften up with use. This is a 45 piece set for under 30 quid including VAT and delivery so there is a limit to what it is reasonable to expect, but it will do everything I will need it to do.

Good value for money, wrench is easy to grip, comfortable in the hand and easy to use. Good selection of sizes adds to the functionality of the set.

This has a nice metal Box. Nice tray. Sponge protection in lid. Butter smooth I mean butter smooth ratchet. Well made. I expect it will last a long time. It replaces my expensive 1/4 that I used before I retired. X Motor Mechanic. I think this is better than that one. I was amazed at the quality. No stupid blown plastic box. To deal with. A tip of an old guy. Put a bit of Molybdenum Disulphide Grease in the ratchet head and on the hinge of the box. The price as it is on offer at moment is great value. Make it last years. Well done.

Very good quality and product and would recommend too anyone

It makes a change for me to be writing a good review, but as already said, this is a nice little set of socket wrenches… and I mean little. I wouldn’t recommend trying to change a car tyre with them. In my case, I have been using the 13mm deep socket with the ratchet to tighten some M8 coach bolts and nuts. It worked a treat.The set comprises 13 regular sockets from 4mm to 14mm, 7 deep sockets from 5mm to 13mm and several different types of handle for different preferences or circumstances. On top of that, there are 16 screwdriver bits, probably best suited to the screwdriver handle. It all comes in a natty metal storage case. I seem to have been more fortunate than others in that my case was undamaged. All in all a good quality set of wrenchesSome reviewers have mentioned that the sockets either don’t fit or don’t come off. I had this problem at first until I discovered on the ratchet, that there is a locking button. Everything worked perfectly afterwards.As for the quality of the set, I don’t have any experience of the top end of Draper tools, but if they are superior to this kit, I’d like to see them.
