I needed a 7mm hex wrench to work on the brakes for my '03 MINI. Worked great, good quality, could not have done the job without it.
It was out of alignment with the socket. Unfortunately, the 3, 4, 5, 5.5 & 6mm hex bits were what I bought this set for, as they are used a lot in bicycle maintenance and repair. Drop off at the Post Office. I too, was impressed by the packaging and apparent quality of this hex bit set, as other reviewers were, given the low price. Amazon did not offer to replace it, just return it, which was not much of a hassle -- print out the forms, put one in the package, and tape the address label on the outside.
Then I looked at the 5.5mm hex bit. That's bad. It kind of looked like the leaning tower of Pisa in the socket. I also thought the 5mm hex bit was off, but not as much as the 5.5mm, and I didn't have precise enough tools with me to analyze it.
I wouldn't have thought I could have purchased a set of hex wrench sockets of this quality for this price. I'm impressed. I bought this due to the reviews that people were surprised at the good quality. I don't think I could get a better set anywhere else for anywhere near this price.
The sockets are good quality. No issues or problems with them at this point. While I have not used all of them, the ones I did use are solid and well constructed.
I'll add my voice to the chorus of people pleased with this inexpensive set. The polished chrome finish is a nice finishing touch.As someone else noted this set requires 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch ratchet drivers (or adapters). The pieces are heavy and well forged. Each of the sockets has a groove inside to accommodate quick release ratchets.
