My favorite general purpose socket and bit set.

[chadster1]

I just wanted to post about my favorite general purpose socket and bit set. The Genius Tools SB-276MS. I actually have 2 of these sets, one in each vehicle. For most general purpose handyman type jobs this set is perfect.

I have never seen Genius Tools get mentioned on here very much. Based on my experience selling them back in the day, they are a high quality tool well worth the money.

What is everyone else's favorite socket/bit set?

Sockets with no ratchet?

Sockets with no ratchet?

My only complaint about the set is that the handle is not ratcheting. The handle does attach to the extensions to make either a T handle or a 45 degree driver.

Honestly tho, most of the time I am putting the socket on a cordless tool.

as much as I try to avoid anything made in China, these 40-piece kits were too cheap to pass up, and they've got all the stuff that I need to go replace a doorknob set or a light switch or some other small task, and they were so cheap I can leave them laying on the front seat while parked in front of Home Depot with all the windows rolled down and not worry about anyone stealing them. I think the yellow one was $9 bucks, and the red one was about $12. The handles are ratcheting, but the same as the OP, I usually bring a cordless Makita driver with me.
no brand name on either one. everything's the same other than the red handle bending 90° at the business end.

probably not worth a damn for anything requiring more than about 10 ft. lbs of torque, but I have real tools for things like head bolts and such.

YMMV

That's a neat set. If I could find a nice little case I'd put my own set together.

I don't have an all in one set but I've got a few bit sets..

I have that gear driver ina more socket oriented set...dig the extension choices. Also have 4 cycles yellow kit, but it's been pretty much displaced by Milwaukee clamshell 40 piece shockwave kit https://www.acmetools.com/shockwave...l-driver-bit-set-48-32-4006/045242349586.html

My Kirkland "I don't care" 159 piece set I got for $80 at Costco. I use this a lot, especially for drain plugs where tools will get drenched with fluid. After using this for several years, my only regret is that I didn't buy an extra set. Probably won't ever see this price for this quality tools again.

I bought one of these WERA sets based on a recommendation in another thread (which seems to be happening a lot lately). It was on sale for $65, but it’s $80 now. I keep it in the tail bag on one of my motorcycles.
