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 RecommendOnly thing I don't like is the tools in the top case don't stay all the way when opening up the case.

Quality Set—Excellent Value!
Would RecommendNice!!! Quality set. Most common sizes of sockets, plus both 3/8” and 1/4” (with adapter) —all in a handy, sturdy case. Oh! And the handle on the ratchet is longer than many comparable sets—no knuckle busting!

Convenience in a case
Love the convenience and quality. The suit case helps to keep things together and complete. We have the larger set of 309 and hope Lowe’s gets that back in stock

Socket set
Would Not RecommendIt was a great set with lots of sockets in both SAE and metric. But the case doesn’t stay closed very well and the ratchet slips the first time I’m trying to use it.

Great Product
Would RecommendI am a newbie at doing my own repairs on my vehicle so I was in a crunch and needed a few tools to complete the job. This tool set delivered everything I needed to replace my brakes on my 2013 Equinox.

Good wrench set
Would RecommendThis is a nice wrench set, covers most of the bases for someone who doesn't already have a bunch of sockets laying around. If I was going to buy again, I'd probably buy some smaller sets because I don't have a need for all the amount of SAE things in there, and it doesn't fit conveniently into a larger toolbox. Not really problems with the product though. If there's one complaint, sometimes its kind of hard to get the sockets out of the case.
