The ratchet head decides how you work in a tight bay · review
A 1/4 inch case at the price of a takeaway: 46 pieces, of which 21 are bit sockets — which is exactly the sort of arithmetic worth doing before comparing piece counts.
The last word Cheap, small-drive and honest about its contents. Buy it as a second set, not a first.
A 46-piece 1/4 inch case in chrome-vanadium, of which 21 pieces are bit sockets covering slotted, Phillips, Pozidriv, hex and Torx patterns.
Twenty-one bits, a ratchet, some extensions — the actual socket count is around twenty. That is not a criticism of this set, which itemizes everything. It is the method for reading every other set on this shelf.
Small fasteners in tight spaces: interior trim, sensors, clamps, engine covers. The ratchet is short and the swing is small, which is the point.
Tooth count. It decides how small a swing arc the ratchet can work in, and it is the specification that separates a pleasant small ratchet from an annoying one.

For interior trim, sensors, battery clamps and small engine-bay fasteners, yes. Anything on the suspension, the brakes or a wheel needs 1/2 inch — the two sets are complementary rather than alternatives.
Count the sockets. A 46-piece set with 21 bit sockets has around 20 actual sockets, and that is the number that decides whether the fastener in front of you is covered.
