What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the comprehensive tool selection, solid build quality, and exceptional value, particularly when purchased on sale. Many highlight the variety of SAE and metric sockets, deep and shallow options, and ratcheting wrenches as ideal for home repair. However, recurring concerns include missing components—especially 23mm and 24mm sockets—inconsistent quality control, and tools arriving dirty or defective. Some note the absence of a carrying case and incomplete product documentation. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider the set worthwhile and recommend it.

No Case?

The tools are nice but the fact that it does not come with a travel case for that price is insulting.

it's fine

Would Recommend

good set for household and lighter mechanicing. it will last even a seasoned weekend warrior for many years. however, i would strongly warn that there is no decent way to store this box of pieces. For all the 'your feedback is valued' responses, a solution to 90% of the complaints would be cool. maybe an item# of a tool box that would fit these flimsy plastic trays perfectly? it's almost maddening to see the situation you're in when you realize there's no box. It specifies clearly on line but it...

Used sold as new and had harbor freight parts

Would Not Recommend

Set was sold as new. I opened one of the four boxes and several of the sockets were obviously used and dirty. Just looked like dirty hands fumbling with sockets. 7 pieces were missing from the tray. The tray was very broken and several of the sockets were Pittsburg branded from harbor freight. I didn’t even bother opening the other three boxes. When I took it back, the girl at customer service didn’t apologize on Lowe’s behalf for the inconvenience and the blatant breakdown of Lowe’s ability to...

Can't go wrong.

Would Recommend

Decent set. Minus the Allen keys, it's breaks down to less than a couple bucks per tool. Let's see how well they hold up over the next year. My last 200 piece set lasted 20 years.

Toolbox not included

Would Recommend

It's a great set. Just about everything you need comes in it. Don't know what it will handle but I'm fixing to find out. I have a 05 Dodge Dakota SLT 4×4. I have to replace the catalytic converters and the oil pan gasket. There are some pretty tough and stubborn bolts that have to come out so I'm fixing to put this set to the test. The good thing about Craftsman is the lifetime guarantee. Be advised that if you buy this set it does not come with a toolbox. Its four separate plastic molded pieces...
