What Customers Are Saying

The tools included in this product are generally of good quality and durable, but the case or toolbox itself is poorly designed and constructed. Many reviewers noted the case is flimsy, with broken or malfunctioning drawers and components, and some mentioned it arriving already damaged or breaking shortly after use. While some felt the set was a good value, especially at a discounted price, the consensus is that the poor quality of the case detracts significantly from the overall product.

Home tool chest

Would Recommend

Bought one for each of my sons as a house warming gift. Excellent starter set for new home owners. Has all of the basic tools required for most home improvement projects.

Broken Case

Would Not Recommend

I bought this tool set online and had to drive an hour to pick it up. When I got home I noticed that the case is already broken. I can't believe that Lowes would sell this tool set with a broken case. It doesn't say much for Kobalt either that they would build something so cheap.

The tool CARRIER is JUNK

Would Not Recommend

The tools seem very nice, nice variety of tools, No hammer. BUT the Case the tools are in is wobbly plastic. The drawers dont stay in, they just fall onto each other. The tools bounce around. I would not recommend to a friend. We bought for my grandsons 16 th birthday and were embarrassed that the drawers dont even fit in the case at the very beginning. Gives the impression the whole set is junk. Sad, we expected more from Lowes

Disappointed!

Would Not Recommend

I've just pick up this Kobalt 100 pcs. tool and decided to return it tomorrow. Reasons: 1. Tools are not properly attached. It just fell off where it is placed. 2. The layers / drawers are not on their respective shelves. The groves are not on the lines; think of different drawers just on top of each other. The tool box itself is not meant to keep the tools properly placed. 3. The sockets, pliers, the screwdrivers are not meant to last long. I would say p...

Guys, it's not all bad.

Would Recommend

Has everybody else says the tools are quality, and the box itself is fine. Whatever the issues they had in the past were, they fix it with mine at least. Everything is solid, plus I got it on super sale for a 100$. Thanks guys, already got my money's worth fixing a pipe lol.

The box may bow out so the middle drawer drop down

Would Recommend

I really like that I have all these tools in one small container and that they are organized. Tools are marked with big numbers and different colors for identification

Horrible Case

The tools themselves are really good quality but the case is a huge piece of garbage. I never imagined having so much trouble simply opening the drawers on a brand new case. It would be one thing if they became problematic after awhile but they are terrible right out the box.

Lowes Delivery Data are Bogus

Would Not Recommend

Tools are fine. Lowes delivery promises are worthless. The dates shown on the website when ordering are not true. Call customer service and you will get the same false promises. Delivery well after the promise date is a common occurrence with Lowes.

Nice tools in a lame tool case

Would Not Recommend

This is a decent assortment of tools but unfortunately the box isn't molded properly, so the tool trays don't stay in place, and just stack up in a pile in the case. There is nothing except a slightly snug fit keeping the trays from sliding out of the main tool case. The latches are on a separate piece that hardly stays in place and is only held in place by two loose plastic pins. If the case was improved, I could recommend this item. Until then, it's a workbench kit and not good for portabili...

Tool Chest w/tools

Would Not Recommend

Ordered 2 tool chests. Both came damaged. Repaired the best I could. Tools were fine. Tool drawers and chest are plastic and cannot handle the weight of the tools and the delivery abuse. All drawers had collapsed on each other in both chests and the tool chest expanded to the point that the drawers would not remain in their position in the chest. I believe that this will happen to all tool chests shipped. Many reviews acknowledge this flaw. This flaw could tarnish the Kobalt name in this case. V...
