Product Review
Here's the perfect collection of starter tools, whether it's for the new graduate heading out into the world, a new homeowner or empty nesters heading into a less complicated, pared-down lifestyle. There really is everything you need here, from a basic hammer all the way to a nice cordless drill and 14.4-volt charger. In between, there's a great assortment of drill bits, driver bits, Allen wrenches, spade bits, hole saws with a mandrel, adjustable wrench, pliers, needlenose pliers, a hacksaw, level, tape measure, combination square, ratchet and sockets, a box cutter and fasteners. All for the price of a cordless drill alone-and at such a price, we think it's a great idea to keep one set in the garage and one in the house. We tried to come up with a do-it-yourselfer job this kit couldn't handle… we're still thinking… but we wish we had this handy the last time we heard the words "some assembly required." You just can't go wrong with this set, whether it's your first tools or a compact, convenient set to keep in the house or garage.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Here's why I was interested in this tool set and why it's pretty much perfect. a) Hated having to search through a giant toolbox over & over on every project because everything is tossed on top of each other. EVERY tool, component, etc has its own slot and it's a nice tight fit so if you drop it, the 178 pieces do not fall into one giant heap of tools, sockets, etc ... b) While quality is important, if tools are just tools to you and you don't need/want a $1,000 tool set - these might not last three generations but they are all solid and work great and at a price where I don't have to worry about if people might make off with some tiny wrench. c) No real compromises on what you get. Unlike other sets, it not missing some main tool. This one has a screwdriver, wrench, plier, crescent wrench set, hammer, saw, etc, etc ... not to mention the cordless drill. Look at the ZOOM photo - and unlike other sets where 100 screws count as part of a "115-set" tool kit, 99.5% of what you get are actual tools or actual attachments to tools. (there are $1,000 tool sets without a hammer!) d) the box is nice. It's not pretty but it's solid heavy plastic and the pieces require effort to get in each slot - again, that's actually a good thing as I've had sets that look pretty in the picture but if you drop the tool kit, all the pieces fall in a heap and no one really likes to pick through 50 socket heads to put everything back or the 'holder' is some flimsy plastic that yellows, cracks or just gives up the ghost. This is very solid. There's even a little extra room in the middle when it's closed that you can keep gloves and a towel there. About the only thing missing is that if the bolt is very long, the crescent wrench does not have an extender and you can't really reach the nut but that's pretty obscure - not to confuse anyone - there is an extender if the nut is merely a ways from your hand but not if the bolt is exessively long. Other than that, finally a set that will serve 99.9% of your average home, car and even some computer repair use (it has torx and even a tool/magnet retriever if you drop a screw somewhere) - ALL solidly built in a solidly built case with a slot for EVERYTHING. And of course, a great price also! It's excellent! (Note - this review was written when the set was sold by Amazon at a much lower price than the current USED price).
