1/4 Inch Socket and Ratchet Set

I'm a retired Auto Tech of close to 20 years and a professional welder. I own Snap-On, Matco, Sunex, GP, Gear Wrench, MIT, Tekton and old school USA Craftsman tools (mostly Snap-On and Matco). While my professional tool set stays in my pole barn, I wanted a 1/4 socket set that I can keep in my vehicle and take to the salvage yard. So I bought this set. I wanted a quality prosumer set. I was looking at this Tekton 1/4 socket set, Quinn, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Dewalt and new Craftsman. I ended up with this set because, one, it doesn't skip any sizes. Two, this set is really a high quality set for the price point and three, Tekton's warranty. It is one of the best in the business. You contact them and send a picture of the tool. They ship a replacement out right away. I have never had an issue with them not warranting anything. I live about an hour and a half south of Grand Rapids, MI (where Tekton is located) so turn around is really quick. The down side is no physical stores that you can get it warranted and walk out with a replacement that day. That is where Harbor Freight shines. That said of you loose your 10mm socket, you can't purchase a single socket like you can from Tekton!! The ratchet, is smooth. The chrome finish on sockets and ratchet is really good with no blemishes that I could see. The case is really nice too. While I generally prefer tool bags, I think for a on the go socket set, the case is the way to go. Keeps everything nice and organized. If you leave the cardboard inside the case, everything stays in place. The case looks very durable, although the hinges are questionable, but time will tell. I wish the case had a handle like the 3/8 and 1/2 set does. Still it is is light enough that it is not a deal breaker.

I have used this TEKTON 1/4 Inch Drive 6-Point Socket and Ratchet Set with Case regularly on automotive and shop projects and it has exceeded my expectations. The sockets feel durable in hand and have held up through repeated use without rounding fasteners or showing wear on the finish. The ratchet has a comfortable grip that stays secure even when hands are greasy and the fine tooth count makes working in tight spaces much easier. The set covers the common socket size range I need for most small to mid‑size fasteners which makes it versatile for general maintenance tasks. The case is well organized so I can quickly identify the size I need which saves time when I am under a vehicle or in a confined workspace. The overall size and weight of the set also makes it easy to toss in a bag or cart so I can move between jobs without hassle. Value for money here is excellent. The quality of the tools feels solid compared to similar sets I have bought in the past at higher price points. If something were to fail I am confident in the warranty and ease of warranty replacement because I have dealt with TEKTON warranty service before and they made the process straightforward without any questions. Durability has been great so far and I see no reason these will not last for years with regular use. For anyone wanting a reliable 1/4 inch drive set in a compact size that performs well and offers solid value, this set delivers. I am happy with the purchase and have no reservations giving it five stars.

Great set of quality tools.

Always appreciated the quality of Tekton Tools. I am not disappointed.

Love this socket set so much I bought it a second time. Almost want to buy it a 3rd time to keep it in the vehicle.

NICE LITTLE 1/4 SET OF SOCKETS. I use them almost daily and primarily with 1/4 impact with no issues. nice case and organized well in the case. has extra storage on one side thats is nice to store other bits and 1/4 drive bit

I have to hand it to Tekton—these tools are my weekend warriors, and they can take a beating. Despite my ‘enthusiastic’ DIY habits, the 1/2”, 3/8”, and now the 1/4” Tekton socket sets have all proven solid. The 1/4” set, though, has one little quirk: for some mysterious reason, a few sockets like to break free and rattle around when the case is closed. I’ve tried wedging in the cardboard insert it came with, but that feels like a Band-Aid solution. That said, these tools are performing admirably, and the bonus storage compartment is a welcome touch—perfect for my growing collection of 1/4” add-ons. All in all, it’s another win for Tekton, with just a minor hitch in an otherwise well-crafted setup.

Great purchase, gets used weekly. It’s not Gear Wrench, but it hasn’t failed me.

Good quality. Only con is that on the inside they could have added a sponge instead of a cardboard to protect the sockets

Llego rápido, completo y bien empacado

Great set would recommend really nice ratchet too

This socket set's a steal, the ratchet is buttery smooth.

Love their tools
