Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 250 -Piece Metric and standard (SAE) Mechanics Tool Set with Hard Case
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.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Great selection, case is an issue
Would RecommendI would give 5 stars if the case was better designed. You open the top drawer and the case splits apart. Not a very good design. Has pins that run down an open channel so when you slide the drawer the whole case comes apart. Love the selection.

Very well pleased.
Would RecommendThis tool kit is perfect. It arrived in a carton & in great shape. Prior to ordering I read more than a few reviews talking about issues with the tool box itself, I had no issues. My plan was to remove the drawers & use them in my tool box🔧 because as you can see I have no complaints, none whatsoever.
The tools themselves are great, the tool box broke on the first day of use.

(almost) everything you need!
Would RecommendI found this kit on sale for 48 bucks so maybe I'm just satisfied by price alone, but I have no complaints about this set. the case is really not that bad. I feel like the bad reviews are from people who don't treat their stuff nicely. maybe if you had it shipped that's where the damage is from, but I got mine from the store and the case is just fine, albeit a little on the cheap/flimsy side. but if you are careful you can remove any drawer without taking all of them out. anyways, the set has lo...
Great multi-tool set, be prepared to replace case.
Would RecommendLikes: Great price for a nice selection of general hand tools. I got this to keep in the bed of my truck for when I need the off and end wrench, socket, or Allen key at work and it has a little piece of everything. Nice organized drawers to keep everything in its place. Cons: the case itself is flimsier than I expected for how much the tool set weighs. When I received it is had been broken apart in shipping. I snapped everything back together, but even with the hard plastic exterior walls, the...

Buy a different brand
The container is too flexible and not strong enough to support the tool trays causing the trays to always be piled on top of each other. You cannot slide a tray out with out having to disassemble the entire system.

Cheap case
Would Not RecommendThe case is very cheaply made and not durable. When you pull a slide out, all other slides above it fall down.

Box is absolutely frustrating
Would Not RecommendLove the tools. You get everything you need for any mechanical job at home. However, the plastic box falls apart easily and makes getting to the wonderful tools a hassle. Trays get stuck, fall and make a big mess. I am gland I don't use this tools too often but when I do it becomes a so frustrating.
Good if you like used tools...
Would Not RecommendSo I am on my second set now. The first one I bought, almost all of the wrenches and sockets were out of their holders, just loose in the case. Also all of them had finger prints and oil on them. I returned that set and picked up a different one from a different Lowes. Well this set has everything in its holders, but every socket, wrench, ratchet, etc. have oily finger prints on them, just like the first set. I get that someone has to put these things in their drawers for packaging but the ...
