Any home mechanic can benefit from a ratchet set, and AutoZone is a good place to pick up a budget-friendly and reliable one. The Duralast 1/4 inch rachet and socket set is available for $49.99, and it gives you everything you need to get started with work at home. The rachet set comes with 45 pieces in total, so you’re getting a versatile bundle backed up by strong user scores on AutoZone’s website. This set has a 4.6 out of five rating with over 200 reviews and counting.
According to some AutoZone reviewers, the rachet is a tad small, but it works the same. The smaller form factor does allow it to hit tighter spots, so that’s a bright spot. The quick release allows you to easily change out heads on the fly, so there’s little to no downtime if you know what you’re doing. It’s a nice kit to keep in your car, too, in case of an emergency.
