Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the tool quality, durability, and comprehensive socket selection, noting sturdy construction and excellent value. The compact design appeals to those needing portable kits for vehicles or small projects. However, most reviewers report extreme difficulty removing sockets and the ratchet from the case, requiring pliers or tools to extract them. The tight retention prongs and problematic latch are frequently criticized. Despite case frustrations, many consider the tools themselves high-quality and worthwhile.

low price, great product
Would RecommendNever got to pick it up.
Would RecommendReceived an E-mail saying it was picked up, yet i was at work so there is no way that I picked it up. Had to call and argue with people. Who eventually went to the shelf and say it sitting there. Tried to pick it up and they made it a big deal because someone on there side said it was picked up when it wasn't.

Decent tools, horrible case
Would Not RecommendThe overall quality of this set was pretty decent. However, everything was incredibly hard to remove, which made it very undesirable and ultimately led me to return it.

Please supply us with update case insert
Would Not RecommendThe tool kit is pretty much ruined by the impossibly tight fitting plastic case molding, particularly (but not only) for the ratchet. It's not really enough that Kobalt says it's aware of the issue. They need to produce a manageable case insert and send them out to those who have already made purchases. On a lighter note, Kobalt could sponsor a timed competition to see who can manage to lift the ratchet out of the case, deducting points for those (like me) who broke a finger nail in the effort!
Great Value Deal of The Day
Would RecommendThis is a nice compact and versatile little set. Aside from the ratchet being a little difficult to get out of the case, I have no complaints. The case is rugged, the tools are typical Kobalt hand tools. I picked one up on black Friday, and used it for a couple of odd jobs. Liked enough that when it was the deal of the day ($10) I grabbed 3 more. Perfect little set to leave one in each vehicle etc.

Cheap workmanship, horrible experience.
Would Not RecommendCheaply made, horrible experience. But at $10 I'll keep it under the back seat of my car as a backup. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it, even at $10.
great item for a gift and to keep in your vehicle.
Would RecommendQuality tool/weak case
Would RecommendIt really is the best bang for your buck in a carry along tool case. Only issue i had was the lock breaking. To be fair it was a toddler dropping it but that just seems a bit weak. Overall, I've bought it again on deal of the day!
We love a good deal, too, Ryan! Thank you for your review!
Store didn't honor price
Would Not RecommendTried to purchase when it was deal of the day for $9.98. rang up at $19.98, store would not lower the price to what was advertised.
We're sorry to hear about your store experience, Greg! We hope this doesn't affect your opinion on our tools at Kobalt. If there is anything ...
Try getting the ratchet out of the case. Good luck
Would Not RecommendThe case that holds the ratchet is impossible to get out? absolutely stupid design 😡
We're sorry to hear about the case, Todd. We try to create products that hold together well, but it seems we went a little too far on this one. W...
