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.

My set missing a socket, replacement dn’t fit
Would RecommendThe pieces come in bags and you have to organize them into their nesting spots. So if you are replacing a disorganized set, the only benefit is that they’re clean.

Love the tools, hate the box
Would Not RecommendThis box is a joke. The drawers are hard to slide in and out, which makes the sockets jump out of their holders. The slightest bump also does this because they are not held in very well in the first place. I pulled one drawer out and it got stuck, had to give it a little more pull and dumped the whole thing on the ground. I then promptly kicked the box to the curb and will never buy another one without opening it in the store first.
Hi Nick, thank you for your feedback. The drawer situation can be remedied by applying a silicon-based spray to the edges.

great tools - horrible box, just like my last set.
Would Not RecommendIt took me about 30 minutes this time to put all the sockets back in the drawers after they all fell to the ground, scattering my sockets everywhere. I thought the drawers were locking closed when the handle was up, like when you are carrying it, but NO. What a mess.

Nice set but the dawers are a little tight
Would RecommendThe tool box has a place for everything that's included plus some extra room. The drawers are plastic on plastic and are a little tough to pull out so I'll try some silicone lubricant.
