This is a review of the Powerextra CYI 65 Pc 1/4" & 3/8" Drive Socket Set.  This is a great socket set for the price, as it includes many different sockets in both SAE and metric sizes.  Also included are star, hex, and flat and Phillips screwdriver bits.

Two drivers are included, a 3/8" ratchet, and a 1/4" "screwdriver handle" driver.  Conveniently, that handle also includes a 1/4" drive on the back end to provide more torque if needed.

Other nice features are the spark plug socket, the wobble extension, universal joint, and several sockets of the same size but in different drives are provided in case you encounter a nut and bolt.

This set comes in a nice blow-molded case, but unfortunately the sockets don't stay put very well.  Often times they'll jump position or even fall out, but the case keeps everything securely contained.  There's even a small hole in the handle that can be used to lock the case shut if desired.  I suppose in the nest iteration of this product, the case will be improved to prevent the sockets from going all over the place.

There are a number of odd-sized small sockets which are great to have, since every once and again you'll encounter a fastener of that size.

The ratchet itself has a course "granularity" to it, which is fine for most tasks.  However, a finer ratchet would be nice to have in the event you're using the tool in very tight quarters.  However, it does have a quick-release feature, which is very nice, since many times when you remove the wrench, the socket stays behind.  The quick-release mechanism locks the socket on so it will come with the wrench.

The set is made of Chrome Vanadium.  The size markings on the sockets are easily readable.  It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so if any of the wrenches break, they will be replaced.  All in all a great socket set, with a lot of extras included.  There's always going to be that time where you need that odd-sized socket, and this set will have it at your disposal.  

I received this product at no cost for my review.
