1/4" and 3/8" drivers are not for heavy duty work. Most breaker bars and torque/impact wrenches are built around 1/2 inch sockets. I wouldn't try to use this on a car unless the vehicle has got zero rust.
Most car work is not heavy duty.
serious, i use 1/4 and 3/8 drivers for most of my car work. The only thing i wouldn't use these for is with an impact wrench.
.pdf link is broke in item description on sears' website. does this have metric shizz included?
Looks like they have metric sockets 9mm-18mm in the photo.
#4 yes it has metric sockets.
Generally speaking, when you have a higher torque bolt on a car it is also larger, you are limited in what size ratchet you can use with a set like this because the socket sizes per ratchet size stop before getting very large.
1/4" is good for many items in the electrical and emissions control areas, dash, etc. 3/8" handles most of the rest ok, 1/2" is best for areas like the suspension. If working on all these areas, a set as small as this isn't likely to cover all your needs.
#1,2,3. I found for older cars like 1980's and earlier, 1/2 drives and breaker bars are best. Everything on those is either torqued down excessively or is rusted on. For newer vehicles, the 3/8 and 1/4 drives work best.
