What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this tool set for exceptional organization, high-quality construction, and strong value. The foam EVA trays with custom-cut inserts are the standout feature, keeping tools secure and instantly visible while fitting perfectly into existing toolboxes. Reviewers consistently describe the tools as durable and well-made, with 90-tooth ratchets earning specific praise for smooth operation. Most find it an excellent value for beginners and general use. However, some note missing essential tools like a 1/2-inch ratchet and 9/16-inch wrench, and a few report the trays don't fit older toolbox models. Despite these gaps, most customers consider it a worthwhile investment.

No 9/16 wrench? Really?

Would Recommend

I bought this set without having done enough research apparently. Who’d have known. A 300 piece tool set doesn’t include a single 9/16” wrench. I mean really…. Who at Kobalt made that decision. I wish I could return it but I’ve opened all of the foam trays and installed them in my tool drawers before realizing this kit is missing one of the most common size wrenches in the western world. Extremely dissatisfied.

Not worth it...mind boggling setup

Would Not Recommend

We bought this for our nonprofit facility to use at our self-service stations. As far as the quality of the tool steel, TBD, in regard to whomever is part of the brains of creating this set, mind boggling. Im having a hard time understanding how any company designing a tool set would leave out a 9/16" wrench..? One of the top 3 most commonly used sizes. Makes NO SENSE. Add the wrench, change the price...not hard to work the problem. Relative to the foam trays, what an amazing waste of space. Som...

Decent set, poor advertising

Product is not arranged as shown and is broken up into about 20 foam organizers. otherwise a decent set. Would not buy again.

Kobalt 300 piece

Would Recommend

Nice tools for me. Have only used a few wrenches, 1/2 and 3/8 drive ratchets, a screw driver bit, and 6mm hex. All good. Only gripe I could think of is spacing on foam for sockets is too wide. Wastes space. But, I like the set.

Great product for a perfectly organized toolbox!

Would Recommend

The trays are perfect, they look really good in my Kobalt toolbox. The organization is fantastic and it makes me happy every time I open the drawer. Also, makes it really easy to know if a tool is missing and which one it is.

If One Set Is Good, Two Must Be Great!!!

Would Recommend

Most every tool that I need and use is in this set and the rubber organizational "trays" (with stamped description) make everything simplistic for what I'm looking for or if there is a tool missing. I bought this set from Lowes during a Christmas sale 4-5 years ago and I just recently bought a second set for my home garage.

Nice set but seems to be used.

Would Recommend

I purchased this and was super excited to get complete missing sockets and wrenches etc. opened the box unwrapped a couple sets of wrenches, and something didn’t seem right. half of these wrenches and sockets were clearly used, scratched up, greasy, and paint chipped etc. I realize tools get scratched and dirty, but I had thought these tools were new, and they are clearly not, not even refurbished, just cleaned used tools.
