No, I'm not interested! East volt, I believe, is a Chinese company.
It is beneficial to have certain tools.

size 18- The only difference between 18 and 19 is that 19 is longer.
These tools were exactly what I needed, but when I received them, I discovered that they were missing some ratchets (there were two of the same) and that they did not contain all of the correct ratchets.
I had never used a ratcheting wrench before. I had no idea I could enjoy tightening a nut until I tried it, especially when working in a small space. Before mounting the entire setup to my garage wall, I used this wrench to attach a 100-foot compressor hose reel to a Blackbull sturdy Ironton universal hose reel bracket. This ratcheting wrench was a lot of fun to use. It comes highly recommended.
The set is a good value at approximately 25% of name brands price (e. g. Gearwrench), but at a lower cost and with less durability. br>They appear to be of high quality visually, so there is no reason to complain. br>In terms of quality, the ratcheting ring has a lot of play, the springs used are of various rates, and the free play between the teeth varies, averaging 5 degrees on average. There is clearly a lack of quality control, or the standards are set too low. br>One thing you can do to improve them and reduce your risk in the future is to buy multiple sets and then pick and choose between them to create a better full set. br>While the box is attractive, it does not adequately secure all of the wrenches. That's fine because I don't need it; I'll replace it with an Ernst Manufacturing Wrench Organizer because the wrenches are kept in a drawer in my tool chest (the case, by the way, is too thick to fit in a regular tools drawer). br>I took measurements and did not receive the same size 18 and 19 as others. Overall, if you have the time to pick and choose, this is a good set. This is to be expected with all China tools, and it will continue to be so as long as prices remain low.
The majority of these low-cost Chinese ratchet sets are the same item with a different name imprinted on it. I'm not optimistic about how long they'll last, but they've saved me from having to disassemble entire car engines just to get to a difficult-to-reach bolt, so they're well worth the money.
The ratcheting mechanism snapped on the first use, to the point where it now turns freely without making any ratcheting noise, as if the "dogs" inside the ratchet head sheared clean off on the first use about two months after I purchased these, so I have no idea if I just got a bad batch because they are polished beautifully but I noticed right away upon opening the package that there were quite a few noticeable spots. That kind of thing makes me scream- When it comes to tools, QUALITY CONTROL IS SEVERELY LAcKING, and I really wanted this set to be even halfway durable when I finally got around to using it after reading all the other reviews here, but nahhh, that's never the case with me. I'm not sure which of the size wrenches caused this, but almost every bolt beneath my Cadillac's hood seemed to be 11mm or maybe 12mm? I'm not sure, but I was heartbroken when it snapped before I could even get 60 ft/lbs of muscle grease (not brute strength or leveraged weight) behind it. Long story short, I couldn't get a replacement because these only have a 14 or 30 day return policy if you look closely, and Amazon had no choice but to refund my money for the set, which I normally would be happy about, but not in this case. I really liked this set and how nice it looked, even if there were a few rough spots here and there. The polishing they do for this is of the highest quality, and probably the most expensive to produce. I ended up using my refund on a gear wrench set that was only an 8 or 10 piece at the time, but was on sale for only $9 more than I paid for it, and then the 21 piece set was only $89 if I'm not mistaken. br>br>Lesson from my story- For the same money, get the smaller name brand gear wrench, ect. set, even if it only has half as many wrenches, or at the very least find an off brand set that offers free returns/replacements for at least 90 days. I never tried to use the warranty on these, but since Amazon immediately refunded my money, I'm guessing there isn't one/if there is, it's not very useful. br>br>*A lot of this review is based on my personal feelings and one bad experience. In a test batch of 1, people's thoughts on this item. which I believe was poorly assembled that day in the factory by a ten-year-old whose mind was elsewhere that day and just wanted to get out of there and find some fresh water based on other reviews these things hold up pretty well for the most part is what it looks like, and if they would have made it past that one little job FOR THE PRICE, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS 5 STARS INSTANTLY. Because of these actual facts, I would take this review with a grain of salt. br>br>Also, I believe this was a rare case of "just my luck. " If you do purchase these, make sure you plan to thoroughly lut them through their paces before the return period is up, because looking back if I would have done this, I When it comes to weathering ANYTHING - br>br> From now on, this guy will only buy products with a lifetime warranty, regardless of price. Once every 6 months or so, if you pay attention and wait, you might be able to find them on sale or clearance for even less than this set costs.
Be cautious because the item is not adequately reinforced for that purpose. To break stubborn bolts almost without damaging the tool, the internals and gears must be made of titanium to withstand extreme pressure and brute force in order to successfully free stubborn rusted bolts without sacrificing nuckls or the tool, but the tool does work as intended up to a point. Beyond that point, the tool would fail due to striped gears or a crack in the tool's neck. It's designed for light-duty use, not heavy-duty use.
The wrenches are silky smooth in operation. Because I have three imported cars in my family, getting a good set of metric wrenches is essential. When I needed to replace three accessory belts on my car, having a flex head ratcheting wrench came in handy.
