Kobalt 129-Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Mechanics Tool Set Collection

Not very complete

I bought this set at Lowe's about a year ago and was very impressed at first. Unfortunately, the more I use it, the I realize that the ratchets don't work very well and while it has a lot of pieces, many are not very useful and a lot of parts I need aren't in it. One of my biggest gripes is that the deep sockets are 1/4 inch. No 3/8 or 1/2 deep sockets. Another issue is that the direction levers on the ratchets don't stay in place. They switch to neutral or even reverse themselves as I'm using t...

Very nice set but the itemized contents list is wr

The ratchets are great...high quality and comfortable to hold because they're round, rather than flat. There also isn't a lot of "fluff" in this set which I appreciate. However, Lowe's doesn't seem to know what they're actually selling here because the itemized list is wrong. It says that 1/4" and 3/8" drive ratchets are included but not a 1/2". The fact is that it comes with 90 tooth 3/8" and 1/2" ratchets. No 1/4" ratchet is included, instead, you get a screwdriver handle that accepts the 1/4"...

Missing a hinge pin. Had yet to even open it…

My father bought me one of these for my birthday. However before I was even able to open it I noticed the left hinge pin was missing. In fact it looks as though it wasn’t even installed to begin with seeing as there was no damage to the hinge either.

Best Hard Case Retention and Good Tools!

I have had this for 5 years or a little longer and if there is one thing that I love about this set it the hard case retains the tools tightly. All the tools and Bits have worked flawlessly. The only downside is the screwdriver has one of the weaker magnet attachment systems that will break up and ruin it if you hammer on it or anything like that. I recommend this case for anyone!

Quality tools

I’ve never been let down by Kobalt. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them as a contractors alternative, but for around the house work, you can’t beat the price, variety and their tendency to bundle all the best tools together. All in all, I run Kobalt pretty much exclusively for my hand tools, and I’ve worked as an electrician in High and Low voltage for about seven years now. This set is no exception, and I’ve already put it to use in renovating an RV. I’m satisfied.

It Works, Which is Good

Seems like a perfectly fine kit. I have used it for some car repair and it it worked, so I'm happy. I wish I had spent more for a larger kit that had more extensions and adaptability though. But that is on my decision making, not the product.

Excellent for on the go

I bought this 1 1/2 months agos have not had to use much but fir the price and toughness of the tools I feel like it's a must have. The warranty is what every tool guy must have. Kobalt is the only hand tools I buy and they always seem to get better

Christmas gift

Grandsons for mechanics tools for Christmas and this is a perfect starter kit for him! It have almost everything a mechanic needs to do basic car maintenance/repairs! Comes with a heavy duty durable storage and carrying case! Great value for the price!

Great Gift Idea!

I purchased this as a gift and I'm very happy with the quality. I opened the plastic box to make sure nothing was missing and all of the items were accounted for. The finishes looked good. No metal burs or ruff edges on any of the tools and the handles were well made.

good tool set

Overall its a nice tool set. The latches on the box are very nice metal ones and wont wear out. The screw driver isn't my favorite and I do wish it had maybe some needle nose or other tools. Its still a great set to stash away in the car.
