Mastercraft Socket Set, 201-pcs

Most higher end sets with the same amount of tools would cost three, if not five, times as much and you still get the life time warranty.

I was disappointed, I have been purchasing Mastercraft tools for over 30 years and my workshop is full of them. When I opened the box I noticed that the 1/2" ratched had been droped and had a dent on the top and it had been reworked (one of the grooves on the handle had been cut after chroming), the lazer etching was poorly done and looked as it would be very difficult to read once it got dirty or more scratched. Just didn't have the quality I have come to expect from Mastercraft Maximum, I returned the set.

I bought this set for school and have been using them daily with out problems. They are durable and work very well. Most higher end sets with the same amount of tools would cost three, if not five, times as much and you still get the life time warranty. Well worth the buy! The only down side are the trays that come with the set. They are a good idea, how ever they are very cheap plastic and the sockets keep falling in to the "finger trench". That is the only down side! Quick fix would be to stiffen the plastic with some fiberglass resin or something of the sort.

I just bought the 201 piece set for $99.99 (68% off) and I am largely happy with the purchase. This set has just about everything one would need in a socket set for backyard mechanic types like me. The ratchets are sturdy and have a solid clicking feel/sound when ratcheting. The laser etching on the sockets proper makes it easy to find the right one at a glance. The finish is a very high quality and the ratchets feel balanced and good to hold. The combination wrenches are basic Maximum ones, good to have handy, but most people will have a set of ratcheting combo wrenches. Lifetime warranty is always welcome. So far, I have never had a problem returning a Mastercraft tool, just grabbed a new one and went to Customer Service and showed them the two items. My only disappointment is the flimsy trays. These are obviously for shipping only. The 1/2" tray set will be all over the floor if you don't lift it with two hands. I remedied this by cutting some 1/4" plywood to size and gluing it on the underside of the trays with contact cement. An extra step for what should have been a sturdy tray to begin with. One hex driver was labeled different on the tray and didn't match the tool. 25 vs. 27 I believe. The trays fit well into the Maximum 26" tool chest drawers. They are about 25" wide, so check your drawers, or plan for arranging the set on your own. All in all a bargain at the price and durable enough to do the job for most mechanic I know.
