Amazon.com Review
In terms of bang per buck, if a regular screwdriver were a firecracker, this set would easily be a truckload of dynamite. The screwdriver itself is a beefy, well-made tool with a large cushioned grip offering plenty of hold and leverage. The pivoting shank can be locked into straight-out and either 45- or 90-degree-angle positions, offering an easy approach to difficult-to-reach screws or extra leverage for bearing down on a nut with one of the sockets. The kit includes three square-drive bits, seven Phillips-head bits, eight hex bits, two clutch bits, six Torx-drive bits, and four slotted bits, as well as longer nos. 1 and 2 Phillips bits and two longer slotted bits. You get nine standard sockets, from 3/16 to 1/2 inch, and nine metric sockets, from 5 to 13 mm, along with two 1/4-inch socket-drive adapters. To complete the fastening cornucopia, Allied has included 2-1/4- and 4-inch bit-holder extensions. We really like the tough carrying case it all comes in, which has a perfect place for everything. This is the most versatile ratcheting-driver set in our store, and considering that the ratchet driver itself is such a durable tool, we don't think you can do better for the money. --Brian Trinen

This set Rocks like a Campervan on a Honeymoon!
I've had no problems at all with this set. I've used it numerous times since I received it last month, and I couldn't be happier. What's great about it is the pivoting shank (neck?) on the thing that allows you to get into places other screwdrivers can't. I've used pivoting screwdrivers before, but this one actually locks in at a 45-degree angle, and won't slip in high torque situations the way others will. I've used this on my cars where I can attach the sockets to it and turn nuts in places my regular ratchet can't reach.

I've seriously reefed on this thing with as much force as I could muster (I'm not a small guy) when tightening the valve adjustment nut for the number three cylinder on my 1967 VW Van (which I love) and the thing held up under my best effort. I'm not saying it's unbreakable, because nothing is. I'm sure I could stick this thing in my vise put all my weight on sideways and it would break, but why would I do that. I paid for this thing! I found the bits and sockets to be pretty good. Sure they'll wear out a little faster than a professional quality socket set, and if you're a pro mechanic who goes at it 8 hours a day 5 days a week you probably won't even be looking at this set. I use it for a couple hours every weekend on my old air-cooled car collection (these VWs need a lot of attention, but they're worth it)and it's held up just fine under my abuse. This quickly went from being an impulse buy addition to my already extensive toolset, to being the most regularly used tool in the box. Unlike my other ratchet sets, this one has a case with a labeled spot for every bit and socket, so they don't all end up floating around my toolbox. Dig it!

Didn't last long
The ratchet broke with my wife using it to break loose a torx screw. Not a quality ratchet in the kit.

Very useful
I buy it from Venezuela... It's an excellent set. Very useful and helpful. I'm very conformed with it.
