What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tool set for its comprehensive selection, durable construction, and exceptional value. Most highlight smooth ratchets, reliable 90-tooth mechanisms, and extensive SAE and metric sockets as standout features ideal for beginners and DIY mechanics. Many describe it as comparable to premium brands and frequently purchase multiple sets as gifts. The primary drawback is the plastic case, with reviewers noting difficult-to-open drawers and poorly designed snap-in holders. Despite this flaw, most customers consider the high-quality tools and bargain pricing well worth the investment.

Nice set
Would RecommendTools are what is expected but I haven't had them long enough to comment on durability. Some issues with the box though - some things too tight others too loose. Good price on Black Friday.

Good starter set
Would RecommendGood set for someone starting to do some serious diy projects. Don’t expect too much from the tool and the teeth of the ratchet is just ok. The total count of tools are always skewed due to those tiny Allen wrenches which you use once a year.

Nice set of tools, box came internally damaged!!
Would RecommendNice set of tools. Was first just looking for a new box, when I happened across this set on sale. Only thing knocking it down to 3 stars instead of 5, Is right rear internal damage to the box. This is preventing drawers from opening/closing and locking/seating properly. Being injection molded, This must have been a handling issue or just a very weak link in the manufacturing chain.

They're not lying when they say the box sucks.
Would RecommendLike the tools-love the warranty. With that being said, I'm not a pro mechanic-just a regular dude trying not to pay someone else to do things I can do myself. The tools are decent for weekend warrior projects. I basically bought these for the warranty (I don't think Lowe's is going anywhere soon in my lifetime) so in the UNLIKELY event that I break a ratchet or something, Lowe's/Kobalt should honor their guarantee and I'll be good. The box does leave a lot to be desired so when if you buy this ...

Nice tool set
Would RecommendThis is a nice tool set. I prefer the flat ratchets to the round ones, but everything is built very well and the lifetime warranty is great! Cheap box.
