My son turns 1 year old this month and as part of my father son tradition with him, I'm going to buy him some tools every birthday. This year, he's got a 1/4" socket set with the foam tray inserts. Next year will be the 1/2" I think - crazy expensive over here in Europe but I want him to have some good quality tools for when he becomes a man.
I did the same with my daughter. She has had her own tool box since she was 2 years old. My wife has pictures of us painting, building a room for us to play Xbox, concrete work, plastering, plumbing, electrical work, working on the family cars and more carpentry than I can remember. [ I am a carpenter ]. WE are getting ready to replace the clutch in my 1969 Camaro soon. she is 16 years old now. I can't think of a better way to spend time with her. And yes, she still has a pink tool box!!! 🤣
@@TheDurbinCompound You’re bitching about the case getting stained with dirt & grime? Seriously!?! Keeping the tools clean is more of a priority than the dam case. Smh...
I’m a machinist at UPRR and I constantly clean my tools because our engines are filthy and I find that Kresto Kwik Wipes will clean almost anything and make it look almost new again. Our Milwaukee impacts are covered in oil, grease, gunk, etc. you get the point but I wipe them down real good with those wipes and it gets more of that stuff off than you’d think!
i have only bought craftsman socket sets from years ago when they were made in USA...since stanley black & decker announced they are opening a factory in fort worth texas to make ratchets, sockets & wrenches i will buy a new set when they come out...i currently have a 170 piece made in USA craftsman set from 2005...i do like those four flat milwaukee set too but have not bought them yet
Sold one of my snap on socket sets for this. Slowly but surely transitioning to Milwaukee from snap on. I already have their high torque impact and electric ratchet.
@Quickahh do it. Milwaukee tools are great! Best bang for your buck in my honest opinion. Coming from snap on, there is a difference in quality but NOWHERE near enough to be paying 4 times over.
@@TheDurbinCompound yea it removes all the grime and grit you gotta remember that its use to remove sticky weight film on rims so when applying it to the blow molded case you dont spray the case but spray a rag but dont wipe the milwaukee printing to hard because it will either smear or completely remove the white lettering because its sprayed on unless you dont care about the printing but the box itself will wipe completely clean
Yo how's it going bro nice set I watched a couple reviews about the sets I have no reason right now to spend money on that right now but if I was definitely have to look at that set all cheers with a beer take care
Hey brother. I’m just cleaning up here around The Compound. About to record some more videos. Yes the set is a little pricey but I certainly don’t regret this one!! It’s top notch!!
Brent Talley yeah they don’t make metric that I know of. They tray comes close to fitting in the packout, you could trim the tray a little. I think that it may not fit height wise in the packout with the standard tray like in this kit.
TheDurbinCompound ok thanks I took the packout it and put in one side of the full organizer and have my 1/4 stuff on the other side on socket rails and have a shallow metric 3/8 socket rail there as well it would be nice to clean it up a little better though it would have been nice oh well thanks for the reply it's much appreciated
I would say these are right on par with SnapOn. I own many SnapOn tools and I reach for this socket set more often. They are just as good. Fit and finish is not that far off at all. Really would be hard for me to justify even a BluePoint set after owning this kit for awhile.
TheDurbinCompound I am really considering giving them a try. They look very good. Thanks for your video review and answering my question. All the best!
@@TheDurbinCompound just wash well with soapy water after wd40 and or glass cleaner. reminds me i need to clean and lube all my sheet metal tools. but i just picked up this set on cyber monday from homedepot. they had it for 89.99 for the 48-22-9008 set. cant wait to actually use it. but the quality seems to be better then icon i had them side by side
Over time I have not experienced any wear off of this laser etching. However, I did buy their impact sockets and I’m super disappointed about their etching on them and how small the font is.
@@TheDurbinCompound Well I meant a long time (years). I got some old sockets laying around that I don't know what size they are because the etching rubbed off, then some that are stamped that were rusted over that I cleaned up and still could read the sizing. Really wish they were stamped on, as I would buy them up real quick.
This set has been used almost daily for 3 years. I have it in and out of professional techs hands, passed around to multiple shops for real world testing and it has had zero issue. This is an awesome set.
@@TheDurbinCompound Thats cool, but you know it will fade like they all do. I was using a friends socket set and couldn't hardly read the writing on it and found out it was a milwaukee. Also I meant long term meaning more than 20+ years. Stamp will always rein supreme over etching, which is why I wish they went with stamped on it.
Over priced ugly sockets. Won't ever by any of their hand tools. I will stick with Craftsman. Less cost same warranty. I also have Snap On tools from when I first started wrenching several decades ago. I fell into the Snap On is the best mindset until I realized Craftsman does the same job the Snap On does and has the same warranty as Snap On for way less money.

I’m impressed that a F250 was on top of them and the case still works lol
Yeah I was scared it was trashed in the first few uses from that incident but it turned out great!
@@TheDurbinCompound
You’re bitching about the case getting stained with dirt & grime? Seriously!?! Keeping the tools clean is more of a priority than the dam case. Smh...
Usually the case is the first thing to go. Then you start losing tools. Then you might as well buy a new set. So Milwaukee is pretty AWESOME!
I’m a machinist at UPRR and I constantly clean my tools because our engines are filthy and I find that Kresto Kwik Wipes will clean almost anything and make it look almost new again. Our Milwaukee impacts are covered in oil, grease, gunk, etc. you get the point but I wipe them down real good with those wipes and it gets more of that stuff off than you’d think!
LOL, you want a number on all four sides of the sockets? I'm impressed they have them on two sides.
Yeah lol my snap on sets only have them on one side
I’d say most mechanics who use their tools daily don’t even need to see the number
Wd-40 will make that box look as new as when u bought it
i have only bought craftsman socket sets from years ago when they were made in USA...since stanley black & decker announced they are opening a factory in fort worth texas to make ratchets, sockets & wrenches i will buy a new set when they come out...i currently have a 170 piece made in USA craftsman set from 2005...i do like those four flat milwaukee set too but have not bought them yet
I do like me an old Craftsman set! This set is super nice, I can not complain!
Any other socket brand has them marked only on one side - this has double that with being marked on 2 sides…
Got myself one for Christmas haven’t used it much yet but I’m pretty juiced other then no release button
Your outlets are missing a screw 🤣
You lost me when you said it was hard to keep the case clean, then you said you used a hammer on the ratchet to help break a bolt loose.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i just bought the 56 piece 3/8 (Home Depot had the best price) and it is well built!
Me too. Just got one for $99

That's right along the same lines of Kicking Jennifer Aniston out of the sack to rub one out to Sandra Bernhard on a Roseanne Re Run .
@@BlindmanValley I have no idea who those ladies are
I envy whoever bought that snap on set off you
@@carpenter3461 why? Buy some yourself aha I didn’t sell them cheap
@Quickahh do it. Milwaukee tools are great! Best bang for your buck in my honest opinion. Coming from snap on, there is a difference in quality but NOWHERE near enough to be paying 4 times over.
That square design looks and also should work pretty cool.
Thanks for the update!
I was itching to give that one year update! It’s a long time!
Lol oh no the case gets dirty 🙄
I mean ngl you do want your tools clean the amount of money you spend on em
@@Australiaanditsshitcould care less about the case tbh. I agree with cleaning your tools off
Pretty sure they have a pack out where you can lift your socket tray right in for a perfect fit
I have the same sets I use rubber Tire repair Prep to clean them makes them look Brand new like it was never touched
Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the review! When it comes to cleaning the case try one of those mr. clean erasers . I should do the job.
Greased lighting will work. Spray let it sit a bit get you scrub brush rinse and repeat.
Good idea!
Armour All gets that kind of plastic fairly clean.
Or purple power.
Any Ting Toah? (Rust) OR Crap Mul Stank? (Chrome Flake) thanks, T.
Is that the Pepsi machine gunsafe in the background? I saw one in a place similar to the background that was a gun safe
Nope. Didn’t make it a safe. Made it a functioning machine with ice cold beer and pop dispensed.
@@TheDurbinCompound that’s crazy I swear I’ve seen that exact area and drink machine but it was a gun safe
Very nice set I will be getting this set for my truck, it’s very hard to find a metric only socket set
Awesome! You’ll love it!
Bet that set is cheaper then a Snap-on or Mac tools socket set.
Without a doubt. Probably 3X cheaper.
I got all three sizes haven't use them yet I'm only worried that the small sizes like 10mm might be to fat to fit in smaller areas
3:30 paint the case numbers with a sharpie.
"A truck ran over it. Lol 😆"

Hey brother. I’m just cleaning up here around The Compound. About to record some more videos. Yes the set is a little pricey but I certainly don’t regret this one!! It’s top notch!!
So I just bought it few days ago .I had to blame you for spending 100 dlls on tools i don’t need .
( I had a craftsman ratchet set from 2008 )
I enjoy this set and it gets used everyday. I’m sure you will have no regrets
Where did you find it for 100
@@lilwayneLA international tools.
@@edmundolanderos6085 oh that is the 32 piece. Im looking for the 56 piece set. Thank you though
Can you fit a different brand ratchet in that case ?
If you take the try out will it fit in a slim packout organizer?
Tray
No it will not. Trust me I tried that first thing after looking at the new packout socket set at Home Depot
TheDurbinCompound damn it I bought the SAE packout one but it doesn't look like the make a metric packout set
Brent Talley yeah they don’t make metric that I know of. They tray comes close to fitting in the packout, you could trim the tray a little. I think that it may not fit height wise in the packout with the standard tray like in this kit.

No it does not
Really wanted to get this set but I need 12 point

André Alves they are pretty darn cheap. A SnapOn set this thorough isn’t going to be easy on your wallet.....
@@TheDurbinCompound Very affordable, quality and value I like that!
Or if your not to lazy you could just face the number side up when putting them away ?
I am debating between the Dewalt 234 pc. For $99 or this set. Maybe both? Thoughts? They both seem like great deals.
Just picked up the 3/8 and 1/4 sets ,
250 for the 1/2 inch is pushing it tho..
Sweet ratchets
I agree. I love the ratchets
Hope you picked up the 1/4" and 3/8" metric & sets at Home Depot. $229 for both. Add the 1/2" metric & SAE for $200 more.
189 for both at home depot on sale
@@dougdays8095 Nice!!!
Dammit Dylan!

Where are these tools made?
Taiwan
Just bought it

I don't like that it is laser etched. Shit will wear off over time.

Oil eater will take off the grime.
I found hot smegma will clean the grease right off
You spent too much time on the case ,you lost me .
I'd love a 12 pint option
Jesse Troyer Why? With the 90 tooth count on the ratchet, who needs 12 point. Plus 12 point doesn’t use the newer style socket designs.
uses hammer om ratchet, got it. LOL
Brake cleaner will probably take that off
a bit catty wompus ??? what hahah and I thought Australians make up words
😂😂😂
3 year update? lol
They are still awesome. The ratchet has some dents in it from the hammer, you won’t destroy this set.
If this picky guy likes it , everyone will 😅
Where are they made. I hope not china . Won't use tools from there.
Probably Taiwan
Says China and Taiwan on the box.. whatever that means
I feel cheated af. You said a year. Click bait much? Lol jk just being that guy
