This set contains a sizable inventory of sockets and includes standard-depths as well as deep; both SAE and metric; two extensions; a swivel; a bit adapter and a great ratchet wrench.
The quality seems good; the parts connect well - snap together easily; don't fall out; and they are finished nicely. They don't seem too thin, and I did put a number of them to the torque test without an issue at all. They come in a decent plastic case which has room for a few extra parts. The sockets and case are well-marked and the parts don't fall out of their slots when you open the case, although with enough use that may change.
I especially like the ratchet. It is somewhat compact but perfectly adequate for most jobs and it has a lot of teeth making it easy to turn the sockets in tight places.
So overall I am satisfied. The price was reasonable and it certainly met my needs.
I had a small job to do around the house and decided to try out the Tekton 1/4 drive set to see how it preformed as compared to the other tools I own. After removing the plastic shrink wrap I carefully removed the cardboard sleeve with the giant Tekton Logo on the front of it, just in case there were any warranty or extra instructions printed on it. There were none of any consequence to mention, but I did notice that Tekton packages their products well enough to protect them.
What was immediately evident was the quality of the blow molded case supplied with the 1/4 drive set. Yes it had the big Tekton logo on the front of it, also present were "1/4 DRIVE" in raised lettering so you know what is inside. Each socket also has a raised size, this allows for the ease of identifying if any size is missing. As one that possesses many tools and many of the same brand, it is sometimes frustrating having to open every case till you find the tool you are looking for. Spending time labeling them or marking the individual cases usually wears off in no time in a shop environment. The second thing about the case is the two separate latches that hold the case securely closed when not in use or during transport. The next thing that sticks out are the full length metal pins that act as the hinges for the case, no folding plastic joints that will separate after a couple of dozen cycles leaving the user with a two piece blow molded case that is duct taped together. The last item about the case is how robust it is. After squeezing the case in a variety of locations such as the corners, middle and each side individually leaves no doubt how durable it is. There is no doubt the case will be able to withstand a substantial load on top of it in a tool box, or the constant punishment of traveling around in a road service vehicle protecting the tools housed inside of it.
On the bottom of the case are the 1/4 drive 72 tooth pear-head ratchet, the 1/4 drive handle, the 1/4 drive swivel adapter. These three items are held securely by a friction fit, they are easily installed and removed by slight pressure, no need to crush the case to install them and you wont need a crowbar to get them out as with some other brands. The ratchet features a push button release and a thumb switch to reverse direction, with the 72 teeth gearing it's operation is extremely smooth. There is also an 1/4 square to 1/4 hex adapter for using multiple bits. On the left side is a 2.5" wide X 5.5" long X 1" deep storage section for extra bits, nuts and bolts or whatever you need.
Now the sockets. The lower case sockets just lay in the recessed spots made for them. The Metric sockets are on the bottom. The size range is from 5mm to 14 mm, both shallow and deep sizes, with "NO SIZES SKIPPED". This is an extremely important feature that other brands fail to realize, an 18mm bolt is not the same as a 3/4 bolt, close, but a stripped bolt head is in your future if you fail to realize this. Another surprise and important feature is the addition of a 5.5mm size, they are almost impossible to find on other brands and if you ever worked on one of Henry's cars, a 5.5mm is a necessity.
The upper case includes a 3" and a 6" 1/4" drive extension with a 5/8" and a 3/4" knurl respectively, both feature a spring and ball that lock into the detente on the socket. The sockets range from 5/32" to 9/16" in both shallow and deep. All the sockets on the top case are securely held in place by a friction fit. Each socket is spaced approx 3/4" allowing for an easily grabbed and removed socket of choice, they are not all crammed in and difficult to remove. All of the components are full polished and have a positive feel while working with the tools.
I was going to purchase a comparable set from an auto parts box store identical to the last 1/4 drive socket set I purchased. With the last set I had to purchase extra sockets in the 1/2, 9/16, 13mm, 14mm shallow and deep that were mismatched, and the 5.5mm were not even available. The box store only had a plastic tray not a blow molded case, so I have a bunch of sockets rolling around unsecured in one of my tool boxes.
I do have one complaint about this Tekton 1/4" drive socket set. It is that the sizes on the individual sockets are extremely small and can be quite difficult to read. Making the socket size a bit larger or in a contrasting color would be a welcomed improvement.
I would recommend this 1/4" drive socket to other people in the market for a tool set. I liked this Tekton product so much that I have purchased multiple Tekton tools since I purchased this set. All of the tools I have from Tekton were purchased by me with no freebee's or discount's from Tekton for this or any other review.
I feel this is very important to mention since I have an extremely high standard for the tools that I purchase. They must stand up to the wear and tear I subject them to, and most importantly they must be dependable and not fail when I need them. Using this Tekton socket set within its design limits will undoubtedly last an extremely long time, considering the quality and thought that has been put into making this set.

[[ASIN:B00RCYX504 TEKTON 13001 1/4-Inch Drive Socket Set, Inch/Metric, 6-Point, 5/32-Inch - 9/16-Inch, 5 mm - 14 mm, 51-Piece]]
The last straw with the Craftsman, other than the poor fit and finish, was the 36 tooth design for the ratchets. I was servicing my Ariens snow thrower and had a devil of a time removing the 8 bolts so I could grease the gears (because there wasn't a lot of room to swing the ratchet and the 36 tooth design required approx 15 degrees of swing arc). I was going to buy a Lowes Kobalt set, but (1) I'm not a big fan of Kobalt and (2) their similar sets were a mix of 6 and 12 point sockets. I have a Tekton torque wrench, and saw this set on amazon, so I sold the Craftsman set and bough both this set and the 13001 1/4 drive set. It is EXACTLY what I needed. Let me points out the pros:
1. Excellent fit and finish - all the sockets and the ratchet is beautifully finished in chrome. No pits, no places where the chrome was thinly/thickly applied. They feel good to touch.
2. The ratchet feels and sounds great. There's no other way to say it but some tools just feel good in your hands. These feel great.
3. All the sockets at 6 point. Why do manufacturers sell 12 point sockets? The only purpose of 12 point sockets, in my opinion, are to strip bolts!
4. The case is hard core - not flimsy at all.
5. Every socket comes in both shallow and deep socket.
6. The 3" and 6" adapters are nice add ons.
7. In the 1/4 set, the screwdriver is a nice add on.
If I had to point out any flaws, it MIGHT be that the 1/4 drive ratchet is a little short (at least based on what I'm used to). It's 5" in length (maybe 5.75-6" would be better?). A longer ratchet would give you a little more torque to bust free a stubborn bolt.. but might not give you flexibility working in tight places. Also.. the sockets on the top part of the case snap into place (if they didn't they'd fall when you close the case) - they snap it pretty snug (which is good) and can be a little difficult to take out (really grasping at straws here..). On the plus side.. the case gives you plenty of room on both sides of each socket to pop it out of it holder.
All in all.. this set plus the 1/4 set would make a great addition to any mechanic/home owner user. A 1/2 drive socket set would also be in order (but I have a Tekton 1/2 drive ratchet to use with my 1/2 Tekton impact sockets so I didn't need the duplication). Very pleased with these Tekton tools. The Tekton website says "welcome to your next set of tools" - they will definitely replace any Craftsman hand tools I have!

Solo que todo el conjuto pesa unos 20Kg, pero si le quitamos peso, obvio que la calidad puede disminutir.
Con este set puedes hacer lo que se necesita.
