Customer Reviews:

You get what you give... [Posted on 2001-02-27]
You really get...what you pay for you can expect to get the same quality for the price you're paying. I must admit, I only grabbed the opportunity to purchase this since I'm using a $50 Amazon Gift Certificate. Otherwise, I would have purchased separate, good quality tools, rather than a toolkit with mediocre quality.

Like the other reviewer said, the stamped wrenches pictured behind the adjustable wrench is really, really cheesy. Same goes for the tire guage. Typical 'made in china' products.

I believe the toolkit would survive home use, but I think it would not survive the rigors and abuse that tools go through when using them for automotive repair tasks. The wrenches are only forged steel and not chrome vanadium, which is the material of choice for wrenches.

Plus points for this product would be the inclusion of both metric and SAE, and also the bundle of different tools for the price.

Minus points go to the stamped mini-wrenches, small flathead and philpps screwdriver and tire guage. Also, the package comes with some greasy anti-corrosion lubricant which spread throughout the toolkit.

Solid set of tools [Posted on 2001-06-26]
It was 100% deal for me. For sutch a small price I have solid set of good tools. Thanks Amazon.com!

Okay Set for Household Chores [Posted on 2001-11-07]
This toolkit has both enormous plusses and significant minuses:

Plus:

Assortment of tools
Quantity of tools
Both metric and English sizes
Carrying case
Price

Minus:

Quality of tools (Good enough for simple around the house chores, but not do-it-yourself projects. The metal is not as strong as a higher quality set from other manufacturers. Although it hasn't happened yet, I expect metal stress fractures soon on the wrenches)
Tire Gauge (not really useful in a set of this type, useful in your glovebox)

Overall, an okay set for around the house chores. If you engage in do-it-yourself projects on any regular schedule, invest in a higher quality set.

Great for the house; not good for the car [Posted on 2002-01-16]
Perfect for moving into a new house - it's got everything you need to get started.

But don't get this if you want to work on your car - the tools just aren't up to the job. I've had to replace a few of the sockets and the wrench itself already.

Awesome package! Comes in handy every time! [Posted on 2005-09-15]
It's a pretty complete set. Only thing missing is a portable drill.

LOVE IT! Especially the price of $20 which was a SPECIAL on Amazon.com that I paid when I bought mine.
