Is this a good deal for a socket set?

Sears metric socket set



I have no tools other than a basic kit. Would this be good for working on Duke? Oh, my wife named my bike Duke.
So I have to message her that I am taking Duke out for a walk when she is not at home. Anyways, tools.



This kit has a non floppy Uni-Grip Superman. Pretty awesome!



(I am sorry, this should be in Tech Help)



Thank you

Adam








Product listing:



Product Description



26 pc. Uni-Grip Metric Socket Set contains 21 Uni-Grip sockets in 1/2 in. Drive size. Includes: 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 32mm sockets; 2 Uni-Grip Extension bars (125 & 250mm); 1 Uni-Grip Sliding T-handle; 1 Uni-Grip Superman U-joint and 1 - 2.5 degree Nano-ratchet handle.



Uni-Grip socket:

Uni-Grip raised ridges along the outer surface of the sockets provide greater grip, prevent sockets from rolling, and aid in quick identification of drive sizes. 2 Ridges = 1/4 in. Drive, 3 Ridges = 3/8 in. Drive, 4 Ridges = 1/2 in. Drive.

Highly visible large size markings on 2 to 4 places around the outer surface of the socket for quick access and storage.



Uni-Grip extension bar:

Flat parallel sides allowing torque to be applied with an open-end or adjustable wrench at any point along the shaft.

Uni-Grip raised ridges along the outer surface of the extensions provide greater grip, prevent extensions from rolling, and aid in quick identification of drive sizes. 2 Ridges = 1/4 in. Drive, 3 Ridges = 3/8 in. Drive, 4 Ridges = 1/2 in. Drive.

Laser scale along flat surface is perfect for quick measurements.



Uni-Grip sliding T-handle:

Hidden end stop allows drive head slide to the end of handle and minimizes the drive radius clearance.

Semi-circle shape of handle bar prevents the drive head from rotating around the handle.

Laser scale along flat surface is perfect for quick measurements.



Uni-Grip Superman u-joint:

Dual internal springs insure u-joint maintains a semi-rigid shape for insertion into tight spaces. Flexible, non floppy.



2.5 degree Nano-ratchet handle:

Nano-ratchet dual pawl provides a minimal 2.5 degree swing angle for working in tight spaces.

I have a mix of Snap-On and Craftsman, (and a few Kobalt that are very good) that I have been collecting for years, then got added to when I lost my Father In Law. I wish I had kept up better over the years, I've lost more good tools than I deserve to own.

My point being, you've gotten good advice from others on the tools, but have a good, dry, safe and secure place to store them.

People seem to think tools are for sharing . . .

I'm going to print a shirt for when my son comes over with his friends. It will say WARNING across the top, have one of those simple stick figures smacking another stick figure in the head with combination wrench, the the text AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT ASK TO BORROW MY TOOLS! on the bottom.


I'll split the printing cost with you!
