Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 20 -Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Mechanics Tool Set with Hard Case

Cobalt 24-piece SAE and Metric Mechanic's Tool Set

I received this set yesterday. The finish was excellent, heavily chromed and the ratchet is 90 toothed and very smooth operating. The sockets are beautifully finished as well. I immediately compared it to my Kobalt 115 piece set I bought two years ago. The difference is daylight and dark. I have not liked my original 115 piece set from the beginning. The ratchets are 72 toothed, are rough ratcheting, lock up if you put too much pressure on them, and gum up easily and have to be cleaned with pene...

24 pc Mech Tool Set

OK Just did a quick test run with the set...Its got your basic sockets metric and SAE and I REALLY like it if I need a socket set I can just use this one with its small carrying case that protects the sockets I have the whole set at my disposal I do not need to lug around my BIG Socket sets Nice hard bound case too.

Great case - Nice features

The rugged 'carry' case has a molded plastic insert which snugly holds each of the accessories making the right size much easier to find when needed. The ratchet handle has a nice - although undocumented - feature ... you must press a small button on the back of the handle to iattachrelease the sockets keeping them from slipping off while in use. A nice to have would have been knurling on the handle as found on the extension.

Great little additional socket set.

I bought this so that I can use for most small repairs on the vehicle without having to take out my larger socket set. Huge bonus is that this has the pro 90 ratchet, that’s worth the $20 in itself. Also the case is super nice and holds everything well, would make a great set to keep in a vehicle.

Another great Kobalt product

Awesome little set .like all the t rest of their tools. My favorite brand because of the warranty and affordability .

Excellent quality

This is an outstanding socket set of very high quality. I have used my set for several years and bought this as a gift for one of my sons.

Small Compact Socket Set

I have enjoyed having the combination inch/metric socket set. It has a very nice carry case that fits in my vehicle, and doesn't take up much space. It has all the popular sizes and with the included extension, can get to any screw or bolt in tough locations. I have enjoyed the kit and would recommend it to the novice mechanic or the best pro.

Very Nice Case

This is a really handy tool set to add to my tool collection. The set includes a variety of 6-point sockets, from 5/32 inches to 10 mm-12mm, which easily fit on small to medium sized bolts. The compact ratchet makes this much more convenient to carry around especially with the nice and sturdy hard covered case that it comes with. Fits nicely in my tool bag and doesn't take up too much room. The double closure lock on the case (snaps closed at the top and bottom) gives me confidence that it won't...

Solid Tool Set

I found the quality of the Kobalt 20 piece ¼-inch drive set outstanding. They have the look and solid weight of quality tools. The 6-point sockets grip well. I had no problems using any of the items in the set. The ratchet has a smooth action. The individual sockets are all labeled clearly and color coded for SAE/Metric. The only issue I found with the set is the large case. The case is 8”x6”x3” which may not seem like a large case but if you see in the attached pictures, the metric sockets are ...

A great 1/4 inch drive socket set

Although I have not had the opportunity to use this set very much, it is very nice. Rachet works smoothly and the sockets stay on when you want them to and release when they need to. The case is nice but I would prefer if there was a small handle on it. I think it will be nice to keep in my camper for repairs on it.

Great In-Home/Car kit

This set comes in a great hard case with labeled slots for the sockets. It is compact and neat. It is perfect size to keep in a car or in-home for small projects. The ratchet feels and appears to be well built and not cheap like some off brand sets. I used the set to aid in changing my vehicle oil as well as installing a tv wall mount. It worked as it should with no slippage and a snug fit. The shape of the rachet handle is contoured for easy handling. The sockets themselves appear to be substan...

Small RUGGED case

This set comes with the most commonly used metric and SAE sockets in a very rugged small case that is easy to carry to a job site. The case is only about 8" X 5" in size. There are 18 sockets with easy to read size labels on the socket and the case. There is also a 3" extension. The ratchet has a push button to release the socket; a feature found on only the most expensive sets and it is very easy to use.

Great Set!!

I’m a huge fan of Kobalt mechanics tools. They have all been very high quality from the case to the smallest socket. Made in Taiwan, and I know what you’re thinking. I’m a made in USA guy too, but if it is not made in USA, Taiwan has almost the same quality standards. This set is a 1/4 ratchet, which Kobalt recently upgraded to 90 teeth, and contains both metric and inch sockets. However, if you need anything above 1/2 or 10mm, look for a bigger piece set with a 3/8 ratchet and larger sizes....

Reliable Socket Set Ideal for Your Tool Set

The Kobalt mechanic ratchet set is a very simple set ideal for anyone's tool set. The well-made case contains (and displays) 9 metric socket fittings, 9 inch socket fittings, a drive extension, and the ratchet itself. The case, like the ratchet, is meant to take a beating. The fittings hold their grip with no give and the bearing release is reliable. The chrome finish on the ratchet and sockets disguise the sturdy metal construction of all the pieces, which are meant for continual wear and t...

Nice little tool set

This set arrived well packaged. After opening the box I examined the set and found it to be of good quality. I used it to assemble a small metal shelf that I had purchased. It worked well and should last for many years. My only complaint was the case holding the set was a bit bulky and had no handle on it. I would definitely purchase this again.

Great for small jobs and keeping handy on the go

First off, I'm not a very handy person when it comes to tools. This Kobalt set has really proven to be helpful in the times I've used it. It has a nice sturdy box in order to keep the sockets all arranged neatly and nicely so they don't get loose and fall all over. The ratchet itself is really nice. It's a compact and easy to hold size, but has a nice weighted feel to it. I've used this for various jobs in the house and it's proven to be useful. The SAE and Metric sockets are a great snug fit on...

Nice set!

I have been impressed with this set so far. It comes in a sturdy, lightweight case, with both metric and SAE sizes. All sockets lock and release easily from the 1/4 drive and the socket sizes are clearly visible in large numbers on the sides. It is sturdy and compact, with a lifetime guarantee and I like it better than my Craftsman 1/4 drive.

Good for small jobs

This set is great for the car,camper, or small jobs around the house. The case is real sturdy. 1/4” drive is easy to get in small places. Good set all the way around.
