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 RecommendI'm VERY disappointed. I got as far as unpacking and placing all the sockets. By then I realize the faint laser etched sizes, even under a bright light were intolerable. I never used the tools but, other than the etching, they looked and felt good hence two stars.
Tools good, case is crap
Would Not RecommendThe tools are really good and useful. The case on the other hand leaves something to be desired. It’s all molded plastic and some of the parts are hard to get out, others just fall out. That being said, when there are loose parts rolling around, you can’t open the drawers easily. I’ve had to just grip and rip it a few times with the drawers. Usually when you get it open other pieces come out and go flying. Bad design, just plan on buying another toolbox to carry everything around in.
