Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 170 -Piece Metric and standard (SAE) Mechanics Tool Set with Hard Case
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the comprehensive tool selection, quality construction, and excellent value, with most expressing strong satisfaction. The set includes SAE and metric sockets, color-coded bands for easy identification, laser-etched numbers, and a crisp, robust ratchet with strong retention. Chrome-plated finish and solid materials inspire confidence in longevity. However, customers consistently criticize the storage case, reporting drawers that jam, fail to secure properly, or slide out uncontrollably, with tools frequently falling out. Many find the case design impractical and plan to replace it. Despite this significant drawback, most consider the tools themselves excellent value.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Nice set. Flawed handle/drawer design.
Would RecommendI like the variety of mechanical sockets and the convenience of the drawer and handle. The reason why I chose to return it is because the drawers slide out when you are carrying it and the sockets are held in by gravity alone so when the drawer falls out each individual socket also falls out onto the ground. If the set is stationary the drawers don't slide out but when the handle is moved slightly in transport the drawers will slide out.

This is a great set for the garage or car / truck.
Would RecommendThis is a great box and there’s a little bit of space for extra add ons. I got an extension and universal set to make it even more functional. As advertised but I would t mind adding some recommendations for other tools. Only reason I gave it 4 instead of five is because the drawers don’t always lock when you carry it.

Solid buy...I got 2.
Would RecommendPrice was a no-brainer. Quality of the tools...solid, and with a lifetime guarantee it wasn't possible to pass up. Does not come around often. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the tool box. Don't mind the plastic.. I prefer it...no clanging of the metal: no rusting, etc. For me, it's the quality of the mold. My drawers ( one drawer in each...I bought 2 ) stuck like...well...what a pain in the.... There are some other spots that are off/don't fit into their places easily. Because of it being plas...

Best Bang for the Buck!
Would RecommendI bought this set 3 years ago. Back then i had no idea on how to work on cars and this tool set started it for me. Now I don't bring my car to the mechanic and repaired a bunch of stuff in my truck and my wife's SUV. This tool set is so useful. most of the stuff you need for basic car repair can be tackled by this set. If you are looking for a mechanics tool set to begin with then this is it.
Has everything you need
Would RecommendHas everything you need for a truck safety crew or just a quick set of tools for any job
