Milwaukee 9072-20 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench Best Review
I used this wrench to remove the front wheel axle nuts on my car, so I could replace the CV half shafts. The torque spec on these nuts is 174-224 ftlbs, and the wrench spun them off with ease. It hammered for less than a second and the nuts were off. Obviously it removed the lug nuts easily as well. There’s a couple of minor annoyances. The forward/reverse switch is backwards from every drill I’ve used – you move it to the right to loosen, left to tighten. This isn’t hard to get used to, but it also doesn’t have enough resistance to being moved. A couple of times I bumped the switch from right to left without realizing it, and hammered the lug nut for about a second before I realized I was tightening. If you’re right-handed, it’s easy to bump the switch from right to left while you’re moving your hand to drop a nut out of the socket. It would be safer for right-handed people if left was loosen. I learned to check the position of the switch before every use, and be careful to put my index finger low on the trigger, away from the forward/reverse switch. The other annoyance is that the shank doesn’t seem to be quite big enough, so a deep socket precesses noticeably when you pull the trigger. This doesn’t hurt anything when you have the socket on a nut, but it bugs me. It could be the cheap impact sockets I’m using, or maybe all impact wrenches do this. I also wish that the tool included a little T-handled punch to press the detent pin when taking off a socket. I use a 6mm hex key.
I don’t use it to tighten – there’s no reliable way to know what torque you’ll wind up with. I turn it to the lowest speed setting and spin the lug nuts on until they’re snug, then use a torque wrench to tighten them to spec. The manual says to practice until you can estimate the torque from the duration of hammering, but I can’t see how this would be reliable. The ability to specify the torque would be nice, but I’ve never see an impact wrench that has that feature.
I’m happy with the tool and recommend it. I’ve had it only a week, and I’ve only done one job with it, so I can’t say how reliable it is. It seems to be solidly built, so I expect it to hold up well.

Gear Wrench 8925 25 Piece 13mm Driver Gear Ratchet Set Best Review
This is a great design for any deep socket application. Works amazing on all-thread, toilet anchors, etc. My only complaint it comes with an adapter to go to 1/4 inch standard sockets but I wish that came with a reverse adapter so you could use a standard extension and go back to these sockets. The way this is I have to carry another set of sockets for times when I need a long extension and that is just extra weight I have to carry on every call.

Tool House 770002 52-Piece Metric and Fractional Bit Tip and Socket Wrench Set Best Review
That’s a nice thing to keep around for a great cheap price.
The case is convenient but it doesn’t qualify of “durable”. One of the closing tabs of the case broke when I tried to open it the very first time. It comes with a tiny piece of foam inside, which keeps everything in place, yet still when I hold the case vertically things tend to shift and move inside. Mere details — you’re not buying this for the case, are you? The case is just here to help put it away and avoid loosing all these pieces 
The two ratchets are nice and feel sturdy enough. The yellow screwdriver is quite narrow and lacks grip. There’s a nice number of sockets, covering a whole lot of ranges. The sockets are good fits and I have yet to break or ruin one.
Overall it’s nice to have this around, handy and at that price you don’t have to be too careful.
