Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 299 -Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Mechanics Tool Set with Hard Case
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the tools for excellent build quality, durable construction, and comprehensive sizing with clear color-coding for SAE and metric sizes. The 90-tooth ratchets operate smoothly, and thoughtful features like magnetized bit holders and locking levers earn consistent appreciation. Chrome-plated finish and solid weight deliver reliable performance for automotive and home repairs. However, many report significant frustration with the tool case, which frequently fails under normal use—handles snap, lids detach, and drawers jam or won't close properly. Despite loving the tools inside, several customers state the case alone prevents repurchase. Overall, reviewers recommend the tools but caution about case durability.

Would Not RecommendTools are fine , but the carrying case makes me curse every time I use this set of tools. The hinges constantly come slide out of the slot they are in and are an exercise in patience and aggravation to get back together.

Don’t understand why you’re missing two sockets
Would Not RecommendThe reason I wouldn’t recommend it is because you skipped over the metric you go from 16 and you start back at 19 so you skipped over 17 and 18 in metric socket. I don’t understand why you would do that now I gotta go to another tool set. Find the two missing ones that’s not in your product.
Cheap case
Would Not RecommendArrived broken. The hinge design is clearly very cheap.

Room for improvement
Would RecommendBought this set to keep in our camper cause of the wide selection of tools. First time I went to use it I find it doesn't have a 3/4" socket which is a very common size. Would have given it a higher rating if it had all the sizes.
