DEWALT (DWMT75049) Mechanics Tool Set Review - Toolset you'll pass down for generations, might be too much for light handyman work

This is DEWALT (DWMT75049) Mechanics Tool Set, 192-Piece




I just had my tool box stolen with a zillion years of bought-one-at-a-time tools. Looking out for tool sets that were NOT a conglomeration of ultra cheap pieces or odd twenty cent devices included just to bump up the piece count, I found this set, and it seems that someone actually consulted experienced users because this assortment has very little in the way of crap or useless "homeowner" tools. I'd say that, with this set, and a new pickle fork, I'm about two thirds of the way back to normal for hand tools.


Other pros: no color coding, only three useless spark plug sockets, no tricky as-see-on-TV stuff, intelligent selection of Torx and Allen sockets, good choice of size adapters and u-joint couplers, largest sockets are 1 inch and 24 mm, no Whitworth! Just kidding about the British stuff: they've learned.

Cons: Personally I'd like some level of tactile marking to differentiate metric from SAE, but other than that: pretty much nothing.

Even the blow-molded case seems sturdy, but I HAD to dump everything into a steel toolbox because blow molded cases are just silly.
