Screwdrivers are OK, to be honest they feel like the Mastercraft cheap one. The Mastercraft Maximum series with clear handles are more quality than the GW set, what I find really random is that they included like 2 torx drivers in the set ?!?, I'm slowly switching all my screwdrivers for Snap Ons so this set will end up in my cart and the cheap Mastercraft will become history.
Ratchets are amazing, basically best bang for your buck. I'v tried a few Snap On, Mac, SK.... and honestly, I love the GW, major difference between the professional quality craftman / mastercraft and the GW ratchets. The 84 tooth w/ handles and 120XP are must have if you ask me.
Long reach pliers are extremely useful and well made, no complaints.
The wrenches are amazing, the open part tend to open a little when you use alot of force on em' (and I,m talking major leverage) but for the price its a good starter set before switching on expensive ones.
Files and gasket scrapers are really good, great quality at a good price too I would highly recommended.
Sliding hammer set, pulley tensioner set, and GM fan clutch kit, I haven't used em' yet since I bought them to replace a cheaper version I had.
The one thing I love about the GW stuff is it mostly comes in plastic trays which make the tool box organization way more easier and cleaner (thats a personal preference). Price is fair and they quality matches it for the most part. I wouldn't recommend the screwdrivers that much since I personally don't think they are that worth it, but for a home set it does the job.
Thanks for this response it will help a lot when deciding what tools to get. I want to get some 120xp ratchets for sure! and the reversible ratchet wrenches. Have you had any experience withe the ratcheting wrenches? These would be my so called "good" set. At 225 bucks for a 16 piece set.
