Can you give a more indepth review of the WEN box?
I went with the Milwaukee because of their reputation and on most of the tool lists I've seen require a drill with a adjustable clutch. But I'll look into a good 1/4 driver.
That gearwrench set is simulair to this set I want to get, Wera has amazing bits and it has a little wrench.
I own some 1/2 ratchets and sockets already but wasnt sure if I needed to go that big.
Thank you for the tips
I'll get the ford wrench then. This is the Wera I was talking about. You can put bits in a little wrench and it comes with a adapter for 1/4 drive sockets and a adapter to put the bits in a drill/impact. Also comes with those torque-set and hex bits.
Because I have zero self control, I bought both a Wera and Wiha bit ratchet kit in the last few weeks.

The bits in both sets are excellent. The Wera bits visually appear to be much more "premium", but I think it probably adds zero additional benefit while also probably making them more expensive to replace. Bits are consumables, and both Wera and Wiha specifically exclude them from their warranties.
I've had lots of other Wiha bits for a while and like them. These are my first Wera bits, so I've only used them a few times, but they're fine. If they cost more than the same Wiha bits to replace though (I haven't looked), I'd definitely replace them with Wiha - there's just no justification imo.
The Wera bit ratchet has no magnet and holds bits in place with a retaining ring that is fairly strong, but it's still pretty easy to pull the bits out with your fingers. For small diameter bits, you may need to push the bit out from the back with another bit - definitely if your hands are oily.
The Wiha ratchet holds bits with a magnet, and changing bits with your fingers is easy. But if the bit sticks in a screw that deforms around it a little, the bit may come out of the ratchet and stay in the screw.
The Wiha ratchet has more teeth (72 vs 60 I think), and has a slightly lower drag. I still personally like the Wera ratchet more though.
The metal tin the Wiha comes in is pretty retro in a neat way, but if you drop it the lid's gonna pop open and all the bits are absolutely going to go everywhere since they're not actually in there very tight. If you drop the Wera case, I don't think anything would come out.
The Wiha kit comes with both metric and inch hex bits, and none of the bits are security bits (with the hole in the center). The Wera kit only has inch hex, and comes with standard and security torx bits (though no T40 security, and no T27 at all...). I replaced the non-security Torx with some Wiha metric hex bits.
It's stupidly expensive and I had to replace some bits, but I like the Wera set a little more, mostly because of the bit ratchet and case.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Nice Wera set. They are great tools. I've got these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ISLNRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xxoqAbGW4GPBK in my box and use them all the time.
