Rank #2 in Best Socket Set 2026: 10 Ranked by Socket Count, Not Box Total
WORKPRO 108-Piece 1/4in & 1/2in Socket Wrench Set
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The WORKPRO 108-Piece Socket Set sits at number 2 in our guide to socket sets. It is a two-drive kit: 1/4in and 1/2in ratchet handles with a 72-tooth reversible mechanism and quick-release buttons, packed in a plastic case measuring 37 x 8 x 28 cm. The listing price is £55.99 and the rating is 4.7 from 3,424 customer reviews.
The finding on this one is quiet but worth stating. This is the listing in the guide whose numbers agree with each other: the set name, the "Number of Items" field and the "Number of Pieces" field all say 108, with no second figure competing against it. The set name also tells you where part of that 108 goes, because it calls itself a "Socket Wrench and Bit Set" — and the Drive System field lists slotted, Phillips and hex, which are bit types rather than drive types. So the headline figure still counts bits and accessories alongside the sockets; this listing simply does not dress the number up as anything else. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Reviewing after 5 years, 3 clutches, 10+ timing belts, wheelbearings, brakes and god knows what else. I actually have a Halfords advanced kit and prefer this. Nothing broken, nothings snapped. I've even used the sockets as drifts and they held up to it well. The range of tools in it is concise but excellent. The case has lasted too, including being run over (although that did require a bit of warming up and bending back) if you're a DIY mechanic, go for it. Keep the piece of display plastic, it stops stuff getting muddled up in transit.”
Verified purchase“Saved me a ton of money! Got a quote for oil change for 180 euros for a 2007 car, i calculated the parts cost about 54 euros, so i got this tool set, oil can, and measuring jug all under that price, now, i do my own oil changes, do almost every small job around the car, from changing ball joints to cv joints and everything suspension with ease, the best purchase i ever made and one year latter it is still as reliable as ever”
