I’m just adding that the square end of the socket is also great for just using it in your hand. We all get the the point where a ratchet feels useless and spin the socket by hand.

It is priced higher than most other ratchet sets but that’s to be expected with Milwaukee products. Your getting some pretty high quality stuff for the price though. If you have it on a pack out stack you can just pop it off and take it to whatever your working on instead of picking a socket then going back 8 times when you get the wrong size

Very nice thank you

1/2 size 3/8 drive sae goes up to 1”, I’ve needed those on a few occasions.

What is nice to remember is this packout is basically watertight do on the road guys have weather to fight with

I think I'm going to buy all 3 Milwaukee socket sets. I've been waiting for the Craftsman Fort Worth TX tools but still no word on that, I've waited too long

I like the shape of the sockets so they don’t roll away and the etching of the size on them

Great review!! Was looking for a comparsion to decide between 2 small sets for around $250 or one for $300. Picked up the big set then started thinking maybe I should have just bought 2 seperate ones. Thanx!! Glad I got the big one. The trays from the big set fit into my small packout boxes as well if I just need a specific set..Wish they would have painted the eteching like the impact sockets, I cant see the markings...

As a generator mechanic I would have appreciated a set like this on the road

I chose Milwaukee because their square shape is tougher to lose. Also, they are well labeled. Also they don't blend in with my more traditional shaped sockets

No problem not getting a extra ratchet. Considering I will be adding the long handle and stubby versions. Also at 250 you are getting 4 complete sets of sockets. 2 - 1/4" and 2- 3/8"

You really are not…. You can explain if you would like… but.. as much as I like this set, they are completely underselling this unit, with a premium price

Nice!

Looks like a great kit, even as a professional mechanic I can appreciate how complete it is and how it would be to use mobility wise. If the sockets and ratchets are fairly strong I might consider it to add onto my collection. Hmmmm

Great mechanic tool set, the packout is ok, overvtime the more tool you clip on the bulkier the packout become, to bad the Milwaukee couldn't design a tool box like the 4 drawer Kobalt tool box small and compact. All tools in one and one tool box to carry. not like the Milwaukee adding packout after packout. I have several Kobalt tool boxes .So I decided to organize the drawer. And put my Milwaukee 1/4 & 3/8 socket set along with my Milwaukee 1/2 socket set as well, along with enough room for my Milwaukee stubby 3/8 impact gun, charger, and battery, in my Kobalt 4 drawer tool box, and I gotta say it fits fine, light and easy to carry all in one. Note, I had 4 different types of Kobalt tool boxes, so I used the empty drawer that Kobalt has in each tool box kit and combine them in one tool box, and installed my Milwaukee tool set in the empty trays. Works Awesome! But hay thats just my opinion, hope Milwaukee can come up with a design like that

The 52” Milwaukee chest only comes with four bumpers. Two L shaped bumpers for the front, and two for the back when they should have included 8-12 L bumpers so the middle section and top would also be protected. Some guys take the back bumpers and drill them into the front at the top so the four included are all in the front. Being hesitant to drill into a nice chest but knowing all along if you own this chest, your more than likely highly skilled, so “Just Do It”. Pack-out retro fitting to the chest or even a multiple chest interlock system along with many more details, are somethings that Milwaukee should take note of.

@@paedahe4975 Understandable, I am a old school mechanic, 52" drawer which I've seen is quite cool, but I am talking about something portable to easily carry when need to do some maintenance on your vehicle. And I think Milwaukee which there mechanic tools are awsome by the way, should make a 4 drawer set up like Kobalt 286pc to make things easier to carry all in one box, instead of putting together packout after packout, then before you know it you got a bulky stack you gotta carry around, but with the Kobalt 4 drawer system, its just one box, you should check it out, the 286pc 4 drawer set. I think that's what Milwaukee should do maybe up grade with a locking mechanism to secure your tools. But hay thats just my opinion.

Im building my kit buying both, but I will only be packing the metric and leaving the SAE at home.

Looks like a good set, unfortunately I don't know if this will work for mechanics as those sockets have a much wider base compared to other sets. I understand the advantage of it, especially in tight space, but in narrow shallow holes (think spark plugs) I am afraid the base would not fit. I see this being a very good choice for electricians or other trades were clearance is not a huge problem.

@Shoptoolreviews

The base is not any wider than the rest of the socket. We measured the sockets with our dial calipers. Measuring across the round part of the socket is the exact diameter as from point to point diagonally. Also, we measured the 13mm diameter in the Milwaukee and it was within a few thousandths of an old USA Craftsman 13mm socket. Does that make sense? Thanks for watching.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZiEsaaKg83NgdY.html Adam Savage also suggests Milwaukee socket sets. My only gripe is that at 5:22 you mount it vertically and open it like a door. I HIGHLY doubt they intended this to be opened like that. I see the mount point more as a quick access to store the packout, then use it normally.

Not a fan of the square back end on the sockets especially the deep sockets. In tight spaces where the socket barely fits the square isn't going to work as well as a round socket. I feel like they are trying to solve a problem that was rarely a actual problem and add functionality of accepting a wrench that would rarely be an advantage.

@@Shoptoolreviews I'm a car guy I've owned about 100 cars through the years. I've often had to fit a socket in very tight spaces where the socket is rubbing on something around the bolt or nut you are trying to remove or replace. In that situation I think the square part of the socket creates a disadvantage that outweighs any positive advantage it has. Functionality is the most important aspect of a socket and the square part potentially limits that functionality. I don't think thousands of mechanics are going to get rid of their snap on or Mac sockets and buy these. We will see but my money is on that feature eventually going away.

@paedahe4975

3 жыл бұрын

I personally think that if your using non locking extensions, and reaching into the engine, sockets have a way of catching on edges and falling to the floor or into the engine. If your lucky, it will drop to the floor if there is no rock guards underneath. In that case, the square design would leave the socket right where it fell. But the reason it fell is that the square caught an edge on something... it’s a wash. 🤷‍♂️

Not a fan of these ratchets at all. They have considerable anvil/gear deflection when the ratchet isn't perfectly at a 90°. This makes the gearing jump and stick making the socket very hard to turn quickly by hand. The ratchet is also very heavy and not balanced well. The sockets are okay. If you are like me and like to grab and turn the socket to speed things up, the square ends interfere. These sockets do still roll, just not as easy.
