DeWalt DWMT73803 168-Piece Mechanics Tool Set vs TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive Socket and Ratchet Set with Case
Buy the DeWalt 168-piece set if you want one case that covers 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive work, plus combination wrenches, hex keys and driver bits. Buy the Tekton 3/8 inch set if you mostly turn 3/8 fasteners and want a finer, smoother ratchet in a smaller, lighter case. The DeWalt wins on range and piece count; the Tekton wins on ratchet refinement and portability. DeWalt owners rate it well and praise the DirectTorque sockets; Tekton's 90-tooth ratchet has a strong following for its low swing arc.
- Choose the DeWalt 168-piece set if you want a single kit spanning three drive sizes with wrenches and bits included.
- Choose the Tekton 3/8 inch set if you work mainly in 3/8 drive and value a compact, fine-tooth ratchet you can carry easily.
