Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The tool set includes a variety of high-quality tools, but the plastic tool case that comes with it is poorly designed and not durable, with issues such as drawers falling out and not staying in place. While some reviewers were satisfied with the organization and variety of tools, the consensus is that the case is a significant flaw that detracts from the overall value of the set.

Versatile tool kit
Would RecommendI have not personally used this yet, but my daughters boyfriend fell in love with it. He has used to to take apart furniture, tune up his bike and do an oil change. He was more excited about me buying it than I was and I got it for a great sale price.

best bang for the buck
I read some good reviews and bad. all I have got to say is, you are getting high quality tools with a lifetime warranty. why would you even think twice? some complain about the plastic case. it's the same plastic that all good tool companies use for portable tool sets. and it does what it is intended for,....carrying tools. not a work seat. I purchased this set, to carry on camping trips, and long road trips. it is a very well thought out set. I highly recommend it. for $149 for a 250pcs set is...
garbage
Would Not RecommendThe sockets are okay, one of the ratchets came broken, the chest is plastic so the trays fall through the box and its very frustrating dealing with this. I have always loved kobalt until this. Find something better dont waste your money on this trash.
Nice set
Would RecommendI found the over set of tools to be nice fit for shop. The drawers are a little hard to open at times and when a tool is sticking up drawers won’t open easy. The trays that hold tools seam like after while they will be loose and may not hold tools secure. As far as tools themselves they are polished and slippery when hands are greasy, but with gloves not that big a deal. I look forward to using them for years to come.
If the drawers are hard to slide, wiping the drawer rails with a silicone-based spray can help.

Perfect mechanic chest - loaded!
Would RecommendThere’s 250 piece Kobalt Mechanics that is amazingly well thought out and complete to fit your needs for most repairs, and backed by the hassle free lifetime guarantee that Kobalt is famous for. I have lots of their tools and they are always quality products that are well-made, on the few rare occasions I did have to return one it was fast and easy with no hassles from Lowe’s! That’s a guaranteed tool in America as far as I’m concerned. This kit has everything quarter inch drive, 3/8 inch drive...
250 Kobalt tools and case
Would RecommendI’ve never had a big compiled set of tools before, so at first look I was pretty impressed. I like how organized the set were. The red and blue marking to indicate the different sizing is helpful. I appreciate that the hex wrenches are removable as set - however I’m sure those tiny ones will wander off. The drawers are completely removable which is necessary in order to use the back row. The drawers have frustrated me as they take a bit of finesse to get back in place. I’m not sure that I’ll be ...
Worth the money.
Plenty of sockets. Deep and regular. Lots of stuff to work with.
Excellent Starter or Vehicle Tool Set
Would RecommendThis tool set is fantastic as a starter tool set or one to have in your vehicle, particularly if you do work for others away from home like I do (daughter's house, hunting camp, customers, etc.). Pros: A wide variety of 1/4" & 3/8" drive sockets, ratchets and extensions in both 6 point & 12 point in both SAE & Metric sized up to 7/8" & 22 mm. In addition, there are combination wrenches, Allen wrenches and an assortment of bits and bit drivers as well as a blow molded tool box to hold all 25...
Artwork in a Tool Box!
Would RecommendWhen you are a mechanic or builder, your tools are your holy relics. Every good mechanic's took box looks like a surgeon's operating table and is locked up like Fort Knox when not being used. I have been working on cars and motorcycles since I was 19. I never worked as a professional mechanic per se, as I had a professional career. That being said, I have restored and built many motorcycles and cars. My latest and "last" project is shown with this absolutely magnificent set of tools. From ...
box breaks easily
Would Not RecommendBox is made of plastic. The latches broke off within a couple months and the while front panel broke off too. Spend your money elsewhere
