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.

Great kit for car, house or grab and go
Would RecommendNice little kit for inside the home or in the vehicle. Has deep well sockets which always come in handy. Feels like a sturdy kit. I would expect it to last. It is a great little kit when you just need a few sockets. It would be a little nicer if it came with an extension, but you can't have it all. The 1/4 inch drive sockets with the reducer is helpful. I shopped several different kits looking for best kit for the money. I was very satisfied with this kit and would buy it again.

Great durable tool set for home or shop.
Would RecommendGreat tool set for home or shop. Comes with everything I needed. The carry case is durable and compact for easy storage. comes with all the torques bits and hex bits I need for the job. Would def recommend this product to friends and family.
However, the quality of the tools are superior.
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.
