DEWALT Mechanics Tools Kit (DWMT73803) and Screwdriver & Drill Bit Set (DWA2FTS100) Review (2026)

Who this bundle is built for

This pairing works best for someone equipping a garage from scratch who does not already own a driver bit set. Rather than buying a mechanics kit and a screwdriving set separately, the bundle puts both in the cart in one order. That makes sense for a new homeowner, a young mechanic building a first toolbox, or a parent putting together a gift set for a teenager starting to work on cars or bikes. It is less useful for someone who already has a full set of driver bits at home, since they would mainly be paying for sockets they could get in a larger single kit. Think of it as a starter bundle that trades some socket variety for broader task coverage, covering wrench work and screwdriving or drilling in one purchase instead of two separate shopping trips.

What is actually in the two boxes

According to DEWALT's own product page, the DWMT73803 half of this bundle is a 168-piece mechanics tool set with 1/4 in, 3/8 in and 1/2 in drive sockets in SAE and metric sizes, three pear head ratchets, DirectTorque sockets and wrenches designed to resist rounding fasteners, a 14-piece hex key set, two spark plug sockets, and a polished chrome vanadium finish, all backed by a lifetime warranty. The DWA2FTS100 half, per its retail listing, adds 100 pieces built around DEWALT's FlexTorq impact-ready screwdriving bits and pilot point drill bits, along with a magnetic drive guide and nut driver bits, packaged in DEWALT's ToughCase storage system.

Setting it up and keeping it organized

Because the bundle ships as two separate cases rather than one combined kit, plan for two spots on a shelf, pegboard or slatwall rather than a single slot. Keep the mechanics case near where you do wrench work and the bit case closer to your drill or driver charging station so you are not hunting for it mid job. Wipe down chrome sockets after jobs involving grease, brake cleaner or coolant to keep the finish from staining over time, and check periodically that the ToughCase latch on the bit set is closing fully so bits do not spill out when the case is carried. Labeling each drive size on the mechanics case lid also speeds up finding the right socket during a repair.

How it stacks up against other DEWALT kits

Within this guide's ranking of mechanic tool sets, this bundle sits last of six at a 7.8 score. The top two rivals, DEWALT's 204-piece DWMT72165 and 192-piece DWMT75049, both include SAE and metric sockets in a single hard case and outscore this bundle because they pack more wrench capability into one purchase. The 247-piece DWMT81535 reviewed elsewhere in this guide also outranks it with a larger single socket set, and even the smaller 142-piece DWMT73802 and TEKTON's 135-piece set edge it out. This bundle's advantage is the added bit set, not extra sockets, which is why it trails kits that simply pack in more mechanic tools.

Verdict and who should look elsewhere

Buy this bundle if you genuinely need both a mechanics socket set and a driving or drilling bit set and would rather not shop for them separately. Our score of 7.8 out of 10 reflects that it is a reasonable value on convenience but not the strongest pure mechanic tool set in this guide. If you already own a bit set, put the money toward the 204-piece DWMT72165 or the 247-piece DWMT81535 instead, both of which give you more sockets and wrenches per dollar without the redundant bits you may not need.
