Stanley 46-Piece 1/4 Drive Metric Socket Set

Ongoing problem with the ratchet handle - the directional thumb switch keeps getting stuck, real pain. Seems to free itself, works for a bit, then gets stuck again. Lousy quality, be warned.

Quality is top notch. Can't compare with others, you won't regret after buying. Good for heavy use and day to day tasks. I was a bit afraid before buying but seriously it exceeded my expectations. Stanley is really doing good in terms of quality products. Trust me it is a worth buying products.

Writing it after 7 years of date of purchase. ONE OF THE BEST TOOLKIT I EVER HAD. 😁😛

This Stanley socket and bit set is an excellent, well-built, and highly reliable kit that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using. The tools feel hefty, solid, and premium, and the overall build quality inspires confidence from the moment you pick them up. The sockets and bits are made from strong, durable steel with a smooth finish, making them ideal for everything from light household repairs to regular garage and DIY work. The ratchet operates smoothly with a satisfying click and precise movement, and changing sockets or bits is quick and easy. The variety included in this set means I almost never have to look for another tool — it covers nearly every common size I need. Everything fits snugly and works exactly as it should, with no slipping or rounding off fasteners. The only downside, and the reason I’m not giving a full 5 stars, is the carry case. While the box is nicely designed and keeps everything well organized, the locking clips are made of plastic and feel a bit flimsy. With long-term or rough use, they’re likely to wear out or break, which is disappointing considering how rugged and high-quality the tools themselves are. That said, the tools inside more than make up for it. Overall, this is a fantastic, great-value set that performs brilliantly and feels truly professional in hand. A small improvement to the case latches would make it perfect — still easily deserving of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Good product
