Does this set cover both SAE and metric?

Yes. Sockets, deep sockets and wrenches come in both SAE and metric, with double-line markings for SAE and knurled-line markings for metric.

What drive sizes are included?

It has 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drive ratchets, with sockets and deep sockets in each drive size.

What is off-corner loading?

The socket broaching puts force on the flats of the fastener instead of the corners, which improves durability and reduces rounding.

Are the sockets 6-point or 12-point?

Both. The set includes 6-point and 12-point standard and deep sockets; 6-point grips better on worn fasteners, 12-point is easier to start in tight spots.

What comes in the box besides sockets?

Three ratchets, a socket driver, two extensions, two wobble extensions, five combination wrenches, a bit adapter, and tamper-proof Torx bits and sockets.

Is it good for a first tool set?

Yes, if you want one box covering small to 1/2-inch drive work in both SAE and metric. It is heavier and bulkier than a starter set, so check you have room for the case.

About the GearWrench 83001D 118 Pc. 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" Drive 6 & 12 Point Standard & Deep SAE/Metric Mechanics Tool Set

This 118-piece mechanics tool set covers 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive sizes. It includes SAE and metric sockets in 6 and 12 point, in standard and deep lengths. It also has three ratchets, extensions, combination wrenches, tamper-proof Torx bits and sockets, and a spark plug socket.

The sockets, ratchets and drive accessories are made of alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish that resists rust and corrosion. Oil and dirt wipe off the chrome easily. Large, hard-stamped markings make sizes easy to identify. SAE sizes carry a double line and metric sizes a knurled line. The off-corner loading design puts force on the flats of the fastener to reduce rounding.

The ratchet has an 84-tooth, low-profile head that needs as little as 4.3 degrees of swing to move a fastener. The thin head fits hard-to-reach and tight spaces. The 6 point sockets give better positioning on the fastener and more torque. The set meets or exceeds ANSI, ASME, DIN and federal torque specifications.
