Main differences between these and considerably more expensive set; back drag is high meaning you can fasten when you want to tighten on loose/ free fasteners when ratcheting, so a percentage of effort is lost. Does not apply with fasteners that lack free movement in thread. Torx Head of fixing pin is not machined as cleanly as the rest of the spanner, so can cam out if you need to tighten or remove. Chrome plating on open end jaws isn't spot on and may chip given extensive use.
These are the only flaws of the entire set. You would need to spend at least double to potentially upgrade. The standard by which these have been machined is impressive, the finish for the price is impressive, the rigidity of the flex head to hold the desired position is impressive, the tolerance of the open end for size stated is impressive, even the tool roll for price point is impressive. Yes I'm impressed!
I get how some would like an arrow indicating direction of rotation on ratchet end, but I can't mark it down for a feature professionals don't rely on. The direction the open end faces dictates which direction to turn.
To summarise this is a bargain and would suit professionals as a second set and perfect for infrequent users. You won't find better at this price point. You've surprised me Duratech!
