    with the 1/4" you get a 6.35mm sized ratchet but you get phillips slot and hex bits

    with the 3/8" you get a 9.5mm sized ratched but no screwdriver bits

    your choice

    would larger be better for most uses? and you should shitloads of driver bits anyway

  • Savvy on 28/06/2023 - 18:47

    Which one works well for cars? Sorry for noob question

    • tonyjzx on 28/06/2023 - 18:49

      i think this is realistically both are bullshit toy sets that is fine for changing batteries and VERY basic shit ie. emergency kit

      i'd get the larger one

      but lifetime warranty i guess?

      • Savvy on 28/06/2023 - 18:56

        Thanks mate

      • Lichen6420 on 29/06/2023 - 12:33

        I don't know why the down votes?

        I would not want smaller than 1/2" for working on cars for the basic at home DIY stuff.

    • c64 on 28/06/2023 - 18:50
      +1

      probably 3/8. 1/4 is smallest, 3/8 is medium and 1/2 is large

    • BamBam cheapsk8 on 28/06/2023 - 18:55
      +1

      3/8. I have 1/4 and 3/8 and have used the 1/4 5 times in 20 years. Very good to have when you need it. I paid $80 for it 20 years ago.

    • apsilon on 28/06/2023 - 19:02
      +3

      Very loose rule of thumb, 1/4 for interior stuff and other light duty, 3/8 for body and general use, 1/2 for suspension and heavier duty.

      • Jackson on 28/06/2023 - 21:48
        +2

        You really don't need 1/4 unless you are doing light stuff all day, just use the 3/8 for everything. On the odd occasion you need a smaller handle just make do with a spanner

    • DarwinBoy on 28/06/2023 - 22:32

      I use my 1/4 mainly for the ride on and other garden equipment. So if you get handy on small plant machinery the 1/4 goes good

    You just know when they don't mention ratchet tooth count it's going to be very low.

    • rosebank on 28/06/2023 - 19:11

      Got plenty of ratchets. I got these because it's in EVA foam and I can just put it in a tray of a tool chest

      I'm wondering how sidchrome can do this so cheap? I suspect it's chinesium

      • tonyjzx on 28/06/2023 - 19:44

        this is 'new age' sidchrome which is of course chinesium

        BUT i mean if you manage to break a socket… lifetime warranty but total tools have proved to be 'total tools' in that regard

        • gfjh567gh3 on 28/06/2023 - 19:48

          Yes, warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on if the company tells you to go pound sand.

          I bought the bahco 1/4 set a while ago because it has the extension driver that allows the ratchet to connect to it. Most small bolts you only crack open with a ratchet, then use the extension to fully undo it. It's nice using a driver with grip instead of an extension bar

          • gfjh567gh3 on 29/06/2023 - 10:34

            @gfjh567gh3: I ordered the 3/8 set :) $20 for 12 point sockets up to 19mm is a good price, they're borderline consumables (especially when working on American cars). I have Gold membership so free delivery, order hasn't been cancelled yet

    • skinnytie on 30/06/2023 - 12:19
      +4

      Although this deal has expired, I'm posting in case there's another one in the future.

      Both the 3/8" ratchet and the 1/4" have 72 teeth (5º per click).

      The product codes are SCMT31435 for the 1/4" set, and SCMT31327 for the 3/8".

      The codes on the ratchets are 34900 for the 1/4", and 33900 for the 3/8".

      I'm not an expert, but for $20 I'm pretty happy with them.

      • reactor-au on 30/06/2023 - 14:31

        Not bad at all then

  • BamBam cheapsk8 on 28/06/2023 - 19:03

    • Jackson on 28/06/2023 - 19:29

      Bunnings had a 1/2" set, I can't find it on this site, I can't even find the 2 linked ones when I search, only thing I can think of is its because I haven't set location

    • gfjh567gh3 on 29/06/2023 - 10:35

      Their website is Flash heavy (or other system, I'm no expert), like Supercheap Auto. It sucks at the best of times. However, their catalogue is excellent and you can make a wishlist, so I can't complain too much

  • Hugh G Rection on 28/06/2023 - 19:51

    this strong enough to use with 3/8 impact wrench?

    • brosk1s on 28/06/2023 - 20:01

      Considering its Sidchrome at this price, I doubt you can use them as an impact socket in the long term. For one-time occasions, probably.

      You can buy Milwaukee Mid Torques with 3/8" anvils, sending 881NM through these repeatedly would very quickly shatter them I reckon.

    • PlaunsJanus on 28/06/2023 - 20:23

      3/8 impact driver will destroy them at the square end.

      Get a Chromium-molybdenum socket set for impact drivers

      • Hugh G Rection on 28/06/2023 - 21:07

        thanks for the tip, any suggestions on a deal for a poor person?

        • PlaunsJanus on 29/06/2023 - 06:00

          Not really.
          Total tools and Sydney tools sometimes have them on clearance but they generally start at $80 for tti, $85 for kinchrome 10pc, $130 for 20pc etc…

          • Hugh G Rection on 29/06/2023 - 08:11

            @PlaunsJanus: dang, was hoping to get something close to the $20 mark, lol. i knew it would be too good to be true. thanks for your help mate.

            • PlaunsJanus on 29/06/2023 - 09:48

              @Hugh G Rection: They've had clearances on those kind of sets before, for about $30. Keep an eye out

              I use regular chrome vanadium in my 12v gear in a pinch but impact drivers generally destroy them over time

    • john_conner on 28/06/2023 - 21:39
      +1

      Sounds like 3/8 are 12 point. That’s a big no no for an impact wrench.

      Realistically you want the “non shiny black” sockets aka chrome moly as mentioned above. Also I would probably skip 3/8 for impact wrench and go 1/2 as there will be many more sockets sets made for impact in this size

    • fillit on 29/06/2023 - 00:13

      Oh boy, you’re gonna have a bad time with that, you can get the home brand cheap 6 point impact sockets from total tools. I got a set for like $15 a few years ago (1/2 drive) and honestly they’ve been fine for any job I’ve thrown at them.

  • Worf on 28/06/2023 - 19:54

    Seems suspiciously cheap. How do these drivers compare to supercheap auto tool pro range?

      As much as people rag on Sidchrome, if their current quality is on par with that terrible Craftright set, they would have already gone out of business.

      I think these 2 combined are literally the same as the 62 piece you got from bunnings right?

      • DrDuck on 28/06/2023 - 21:59
        +1

        Not quite, both the sets from Bunnings were purely metric. That said, the two sets in this deal are nearly a perfect match to the 62 piece set from Bunnings.

        • Phesto on 28/06/2023 - 23:31

          You mean match as in good pairing? I missed the 62 piece from bunnings but got the 21 piece. Got both of these sets (hopefully) I should be covered fairly well now?

          • DrDuck on 29/06/2023 - 07:46

            @Phesto: If you search for “Sidchrome SCMT31462” and compare the sockets to the ones that were on sale here you’ll see they are very similar. I think “perfect match” was the wrong term to use. I’m sure the sets you bought will be able to fulfill the same purpose

  • Slave1 on 28/06/2023 - 21:17
