I just went through my tools and tossed old broken ones replacing them with harbor freight tools. Good enough for working on my own cars and working around the house. Great review thanks
I have a big collection of tools at my house, but my grandparents kept needing me to come over and fix their stuff. I got tired of having to grab a bunch of tools out of my tool box to take with me, just to realize I forgot one thing I needed. I bought this set as my "to go box" so I had most of the tools I needed, I can grab it and maybe a hammer and a drill and get going. So much more convenient. The tools are pretty decent too.
This is a great tool kit. I'm very happy with mine, very good quality, and I purchased it after watching your video the first time a couple years ago. Thanks for making it!
When you consider the price per part is like 52 cents (currently selling for $119), this is just an incredible value. Maybe if you're a mechanic who uses these tools every day to making a living, maybe you'd want something better, but if you're a weekend warrior, like me, who just wants to have a good selection of tools on hand for the dozen times a year that I need them, this is an amazing value.. Or like you said, if you want to a set for the rv or boat, or in the trunk of the car or under the back seat of the truck, you really can't beat this.
I was looking at this as a junkyard toolkit, a kit just to take to the junkyard to pull parts. Thanks for the review, gives me a good idea of everything that's in it.
Awesome. I bought the tire changer and bubble balancer, and will invest in the Lucid duck head adapter to change my own tires. After taking 4 tires with stickers still on them to 2 different auto centers and them turning me away because I didn't buy them there I decided I will invest in the tools and change my tires my own damn self.👍
This is a great tool kit. I love cheap tools. I'm not a professional and I don't use them every day. If a tool breaks it's not the end of the world I just purchase another one. It's the best of both worlds. Thanks for the review.
Harbor Freight has the 225 Tool Set on sale for $99.99 with a coupon. Just go to their site and print the coupon out. The sale is good thru Jan 22, 2023. I might get one to have in my truck.
I bought this literally a few weeks ago, I will admit that the nut bit set was really hard to get it out, but aside from that it's a perfect tool kit. 9/10
That mat has a dual purpose, 1 it keeps your tools from getting marked up and in place in the case. 2 If you are working on your car or something outside it gives you a place to set your tools you are using.
My opinion... Looks like a fine kit for working on mowers, bikes, water pumps, and other around the house/garage projects. But do add a Torque wrench so you get everything tight and right.
The main reason I didnt get the 301 set was because like you mentioned, it is much bigger and a bit heavier. I just wanted a set to keep in my car just incase. I ended up getting the 225 pc set shown in this review. I really like it. I've read some reviews complaining about breaking the ratchets, but ratchets aren't meant for very stuck bolts which can break under constant use but even if they are cheap in this kit, you can just buy some stronger ones of same size and throw them in. I got this for basic maintenance on my car with more tools than I need but extra variety of tools is still nice to have. Thanks for your review.
I just bought this set yesterday because this video sold me on it. I am actually really impressed and so damn happy almost all of them are 6pt except. Very nice selection of sizes. Only thing I might do is upgrade the ratchets eventually down the road.
The one thing I wish they had on this set was a 21 mm to remove common lug nuts from car. Buy other than that, no gripes. It has what you need for something that is mobile and to stick in your car . Good review!
I like the fact that it has a this side up sticker my Stanley set does not have that and I don't know how many times people have opened it up upside down And then we spend 20 minutes picking up sockets
I broke down in my 82 Cj7 today no big deal I have AAA towing well AAA will come get your vehicle but NOT you ! Thanks to the the chinese flue no riders ! I’ve been in the commercial HVAC trade for twenty years and I have gangs of tools but all I had today was a cheap adjustable wrench. I feel Harbor Freight tools are a time and a place tools. I will be buying this Monday morning just to have in my old CJ7. Thanks for the review
I gave harbor freight a chance once and it didn't disappoint, the 1/2" universal broke first hard twist, they replaced it no problem with what looks like a better one but it made me leery about the rest especially when you need it
Picked this kit up for 107 with coupon and tax. Just silly value for approximately 2 full tanks of gas lol! I was thinking of getting a cheap ratcheting wrench set to replace the others I probably won’t ever use making this the ultimate kit.
I've been debating getting this vs the bigger set to begin with. All the screwdrivers in the original set drive me nuts I prefer the ones where you have a bit since I can also put them in my drill and they take up less space
You’re right. Sometimes the bit holder isn’t thin enough to get down to a screw though. And doesn’t work well to pry things. Has its trade offs. My friend likes the set. He has already used it multiple times
Personally I hate driver bits except in a drill or impact driver. If it's a non electric cordless screwdriver I like dedicated tools. Bits are small enough to get lost but not small enough to get into tight places. I went to replace a lost twirly screwdriver and was seriously disappointed that home Depot only carried the reversible bit model.
With coupon I got this set in the store for $99. Im going to set it in the trunk of my car for emergency repairs. Hopefully I never need it but its nice to have and if I need a spare tool in the garage I can borrow one from my car.
@@adventureremedy6933 I'm ordering one in a few minutes. If you check the coupon catalog on their website, it is currently active. You can snag it for about $105 after tax for a few more days.
@@EverydayJourney I probably got extremely lucky. This is my first tool set, and I was amazed to get it at that price. It's been difficult finding a set with good reviews as a 16 year old :/
I hope you do many amazing things with it, or at least I hope it gets you out of a bind when you really need it. I’ve got a tool set that I bought when I was 18 and I’ve used it on tons of stuff. Best purchase I’ve ever made
Iv had this kit for 2 years now and I beat the shit out of the ratchets and I use the sockets with my air impact so far none have stretched or broke worth the 80 or 100 it was
I bought this today. They had it on sale for 99 bucks. I mainly wanted the deep sockets as I always find myself wishing I had deep sockets when I'm tighting something with a long bolt. I hope these are deep enough to handle the stuff I'll be needing it for (RO faucet thread is a good example).
I bought the 192pc DeWalt tool set on Amazon. Should be here today. Might end up returning it to buy this one, though. Seems like it'll get the same job done, and $180 for the DeWalt one, at a nearly half the price. My main concern with the DeWalt one is that the warranty claims require them mailing you the parts back. If I ever need a tool in a pinch and it breaks, I'll be able to get a ride to Harbor Freight and just simply swap it out with this toolset. Well, let me get your opinion. What do you think I should do?
@@EverydayJourney okay soi got the DeWalt set. That thing is a beast and weighs a ton. I'm gonna return it and pic up a 66pc or 64pc set from harbor freight and just buy some sockets and extensions separately...
Great Review, thanks muc. Was just looking at this on HF site and couldn't really tel the size of the wrenchs & ddin't know Ratchets were 72 teeth, very nice.1 I have HF tools and what some may say are higher end tools but I really have never seen any difference in sockets be they Pittsburg, Quinn, Icon, Tekton, Neiko, Craftsman and they way over priced and over talked SnapOn, yes Snap On may be a bit thicker than Pittsburg but I really havent seen any socket fit better than another, If you work on cars, other than some bolts internal to the engine, any bolt or nut on a car is not made to anywhere near to perfect dimension and has already been beat to hell...er...heck, rusted, dented, chip, bashed or gashed. So why do you need a so called perfect dimension socket when its going on a beat to heck bolt or nut..makes no sense. I've got lots of different ratchets, some Pitssburg, some Craftsmand (old, old) and I got the Gear Wrench 120 xp ratchet set, still 1/3 or 1/4 the cost of CrapOn and way better. I needed a 120 fine tooth as I had suck tight places in the engine bay and I can turn these so fine like I could not with any other and they are long as well as flex heads, but my go to stuff used most is HF ratchets, I just prefer the non padded ones so I can get a pipe on them. My son uses my tools and he is moving out so I need to get him a nice set and this is really nice and in an easy to store and keep case. Gonna see you review on the next sice up what ever that kit was, then get one. Thanks, Brother.
I have seen a video by AVE that stated that the taper leading into the snap on sockets is steeper. He said it allows a better fit because of it. It might help but I’m like you. I haven’t needed one yet. That’s why I don’t own any of their tools. Thanks for watching
@@EverydayJourney Yep , a perfect socket is only good on a perfect bolt/nut. Seeing how bolts are mass produced for at most a few pennies by dozens of vendors around the world, I don't see it matters, especially counting the snap on high cost.
@@EverydayJourney One really has to look closely to spot the differences between all the various sets. I too settled on this one being the best of the Pittsburgh series, though I may end up getting a Dewalt for its sturdier box. Still, with Harbor Freight coupons, the price difference might be too much to justify it for a simple hobbyist such as myself.
Tell me about it. I used my tools in the house the other day and our pet rabbit chewed on mine. Luckily there’s enough left to hold the tools in. I wanted to turn the rabbit into stew :-)
Epauto has a smaller 3/8 and 1/4 set that is pretty nice and you don't have to carry all that 1/2 inch stuff since you use that mostly for the more heavy work. I got the smaller 3/8 set from them through Amazon. Casoman makes a símilar set that includes the two spark plug sockets. I got their 1/4 set and saw that other one there which I thought was also nice like the epauto I bought. The videos are in my channel. This hf set is nice but I think it's just a tad big for something to keep in the car.
I had the 301 set agree more tools. Problem was the weight of the set great tools for the money. This definitely more manageable to carry around compared to 301 set Either well worth it. 225 easier carry around 301 more complete but bulky and heavier
Overpriced. I considered it but for $50 more I got a 264 piece Dewalt kit with a fully lifetime warranty. And the Dewalt is much superior quality anyway so I shouldn’t even have to worry about breaking anything.
Harbor Freight online store will mail almost anything unless it weighs several hundred pounds, you should be able to buy it on harborfreight.com they are going charge you a decent amount to ship that overseas though.
I've been looking for a set from HF that primarily has 6 point sockets. This one looks like the ticket. Is it true that these sockets are also labeled Pittsburgh Professional?
Yes but not all of them so be careful, make sure to look at the label. This one and the 301 set are professional grade, made of 100% chrome vanadium coming from Taiwan whereas the other set is not. The socket set and tools in those are steel/steel coating.
@@DonnieDarko1 Thank you that helps immensely because from the outside pictures of the set you cannot what the sockets are labeled. I appreciate you checking into this.
They replace it if there is an individual item for it in stock. If not they take a new one out of a complete set, give that to you, and later sell the leftovers as open box on sale.
im intersted in having as full of a socket set as i can get for the least amount of money that is still decent, im not really interested in other tools that drive up the cost. what socket set should i get, i dont want to spend more the $75
Spend $99 dollars at Home Depot and get 200 sockets with a life time warranty. Mostly all 6 point sockets and complete sets for 1/4 inch ratchets, 3/8 inch ratchets and 1/2 inch ratchets. 👌 trust me you'll be Way more happy you spent the extra $25 and have every socket you'll ever need .👌🤷♂
Or look on OfferUp or Craigslist whichever is more popular where live. My brother and I get a lot of great tools for next to nothing. Most places will warranty them without a receipt. snapon is the only one that gives a hassle. I emailed Mac Tools and asked about buying a rebuild kit they sent me a kit and the only thing they wanted was my address. Total cost for long handle 1/2" ratchet $15
I'll just say the reason you don't buy that sockets set is because it skips sizes, you only get 5- 1/2 drive deep sockets. And 14 - 3/8 sockets. And they are mixed SAE and MM that leaves you very limited in what you can use them for. And for the price Harbor freight charges for that kind of set is a waste of money. For the same price you can get a complete set of 6 point sockets and better quality also. 👌🤷♂ Husky sells 200 sockets, complete sets for 1/4 inch drive, 3/8 drive and 1/2 Inch drive then all you pay extra for is ratchets and you'll have a way better set of tools and sockets than anything they sell at Harbor freight stores.
I have a Husky ~250 ish piece set that's about like this but no skipped sizes, more sockets in each drive size, and more wrenches. Paid ~90 last black Friday
Look at the quality of the Husky sockets - they have varying finish, looks and a mismatched appearance as if they came from different factories. I had to return a set because some of them weren't chromed properly inside, all made in China. All the sockets in the Pittsburg sets are made in Taiwan and impeccable in quality by comparison, totally blows Husky out of the water.
@@EverydayJourney Thanks, I noticed that you put up a video but.....you only did it for the larger kit and not this one. That's ok I will make it to HF in a day or two. I just wanted to know if it will fit in a drawer in my trucks Deck system.
@@EverydayJourney my little brother is a mechanic. He got me a set for fixing the house. I guess he knows his tools. I am thinking expansion of tools. So far the thing I don't like about it is it rust easily.
Well with Throwing in "Common Sense" you don't buy a cheaper kit to rely on when you are building engines or cars all day, everyday. Unless you Spend $1200-$1500 for the strongest of stuff to complete a set you aren't going to have unbreakable tools. Its irrelevant to say pittburgs brand sucks when it's pretty much the same with many other brands around the same price. The super strong shit Ain't Cheap! These kits are great if you need something in a pinch!
Not many reviews about this set, but yours is the best one yet. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Glad you liked it

You hit the nail on the head. Most everything you need right there in one package
This is a great tool kit. I'm very happy with mine, very good quality, and I purchased it after watching your video the first time a couple years ago. Thanks for making it!
The clicking of the tools being back in the place is a wonderful sound
When they have a place it is easy to tell when one is still under the hood. No lost tools
Very good presentation! Harbor Freight tools are getting better than before. And their hassle free warranty, is number One in my book.....
Haven’t had any problems with my other tool set so I haven’t had to replace anything. Others have told me that it is easy enough
When you consider the price per part is like 52 cents (currently selling for $119), this is just an incredible value. Maybe if you're a mechanic who uses these tools every day to making a living, maybe you'd want something better, but if you're a weekend warrior, like me, who just wants to have a good selection of tools on hand for the dozen times a year that I need them, this is an amazing value..

I have this set for over 5 years now, never let me down yet. And it’s truly mobile, not like those big boxes that make you walk like a hunch back
It is much lighter than my 301? Pc set. I almost hate to drag it out when I only need a few tools
@@EverydayJourney 27-28lbs, just bought it a few days ago

I would like it better if it were hinged to the tray though. The wind likes to carry them off to easily
My opinion...
Looks like a fine kit for working on mowers, bikes, water pumps, and other around the house/garage projects.
But do add a Torque wrench so you get everything tight and right.
Guess that’s better than the one guy that said that it needs a hammer. At least you stuck with the mechanic theme
A breaker bar would also be a good addition for lugs and stuck bolts and such.
The main reason I didnt get the 301 set was because like you mentioned, it is much bigger and a bit heavier. I just wanted a set to keep in my car just incase.

I feel your pain. Most of my cars use 19mm though. I’ve got the deep well impact set and use my Milwaukee impact gun. Gets it done quick
I believe you can buy a 21mm impact socket all by itself at harbor freight.
Just brought a set because of your video. Got it from someone for $60!
You got a deal. I never get that lucky. Hope it serves you well

Should I get this or the job smart 312 pc set ( both $100) but looking for having it as a home / auto tools
I have not seen the job smart tool kit so I can’t really give an opinion about it. Sorry
Well, how did your friend like your gift?
He liked it. He has used it lots of times now. A good set of tools can save thousands on repairs
Quick question guys would this set be good for a 08 sportster I need tools? And id like them to fit and I’m to lazy to look them up
Did u swap the ratchets before giving it to him with a missing 1/4" universal adapter? ;)
I wish. I think he would have noticed it
Fine review. Do the shallow sockets spill out when moving the case?
That’s what the foam helps with. As long as you can keep from loosing it, it will hold everything in place. The wind loves to carry it away
@@EverydayJourney lol that's how I lost mine when I first bought a basic $20 kit a long time ago. Pieces hold better with the foam
Am from india i need this set so please tell me how am purchase this set and coast of this set
Unless there is a way to buy it online and have it shipped then I’m not sure that it will be possible for you
Harbor Freight online store will mail almost anything unless it weighs several hundred pounds, you should be able to buy it on harborfreight.com they are going charge you a decent amount to ship that overseas though.
I use this a lot I am a Mobile mechanic
It’s an easy grab to work on most things. If you need more then maybe this will work until you can get the car back home
@@EverydayJourney yes it doesn't variety of jobs grab this and I'm good to go sometimes I have to grab other things but she's pretty good
Does it come with a 30 MM socket?
Only goes up to 24mm.
Nice videol
Got mine on sale today for $99.
I think you’re gonna like this one
I've been looking for a set from HF that primarily has 6 point sockets. This one looks like the ticket. Is it true that these sockets are also labeled Pittsburgh Professional?
I can’t say at the moment how they are labeled. I bought this as a gift for my buddy. Maybe another viewer can respond with that information. Sorry
Yes but not all of them so be careful, make sure to look at the label.
This one and the 301 set are professional grade, made of 100% chrome vanadium coming from Taiwan whereas the other set is not. The socket set and tools in those are steel/steel coating.
@@DonnieDarko1 Thank you that helps immensely because from the outside pictures of the set you cannot what the sockets are labeled. I appreciate you checking into this.
if you break a socket or ratchet, will HF replace it? Or would they give you a whole new 225 pc kit. ?
I broke the smallest ratchet by doing something that was way more than it should have been used for. They replaced it
@@EverydayJourney good to know
They replace it if there is an individual item for it in stock. If not they take a new one out of a complete set, give that to you, and later sell the leftovers as open box on sale.
im intersted in having as full of a socket set as i can get for the least amount of money that is still decent, im not really interested in other tools that drive up the cost. what socket set should i get, i dont want to spend more the $75
This one would probably be the one for you then
Spend $99 dollars at Home Depot and get 200 sockets with a life time warranty. Mostly all 6 point sockets and complete sets for 1/4 inch ratchets, 3/8 inch ratchets and 1/2 inch ratchets. 👌 trust me you'll be Way more happy you spent the extra $25 and have every socket you'll ever need .👌🤷♂
Or look on OfferUp or Craigslist whichever is more popular where live. My brother and I get a lot of great tools for next to nothing. Most places will warranty them without a receipt. snapon is the only one that gives a hassle.
I emailed Mac Tools and asked about buying a rebuild kit they sent me a kit and the only thing they wanted was my address. Total cost for long handle 1/2" ratchet $15
what if you need a 15mm wrench?
Exactly. There are limitations to this but overall it is a good tool kit
Exactly. There are limitations to this but overall it is a good tool kit
Go to home Depot and buy a husky one and fill in what you need or is missing.
I have a smaller truck, what is the Dimensions of this box?
I’d love to get that info but I gave it away as a gift
@@EverydayJourney ok well thanks anyways and this was a very good review of this set.
Wish I could have helped more. Thanks for watching
I'll just say the reason you don't buy that sockets set is because it skips sizes, you only get 5- 1/2 drive deep sockets. And 14 - 3/8 sockets. And they are mixed SAE and MM that leaves you very limited in what you can use them for. And for the price Harbor freight charges for that kind of set is a waste of money. For the same price you can get a complete set of 6 point sockets and better quality also. 👌🤷♂ Husky sells 200 sockets, complete sets for 1/4 inch drive, 3/8 drive and 1/2 Inch drive then all you pay extra for is ratchets and you'll have a way better set of tools and sockets than anything they sell at Harbor freight stores.
I have a Husky ~250 ish piece set that's about like this but no skipped sizes, more sockets in each drive size, and more wrenches. Paid ~90 last black Friday
Look at the quality of the Husky sockets - they have varying finish, looks and a mismatched appearance as if they came from different factories. I had to return a set because some of them weren't chromed properly inside, all made in China. All the sockets in the Pittsburg sets are made in Taiwan and impeccable in quality by comparison, totally blows Husky out of the water.
Can you please post the dimensions of case.
I’ll make a short video later this afternoon just for you. Look for it this evening. Thanks for watching
@@EverydayJourney Thanks, I noticed that you put up a video but.....you only did it for the larger kit and not this one. That's ok I will make it to HF in a day or two. I just wanted to know if it will fit in a drawer in my trucks Deck system.
How does Pittsburg compared to craftsman?
On a budget, Pittsburgh wins. Overall craftsman probably has better quality. I still like my Pittsburgh tools though
@@EverydayJourney my little brother is a mechanic. He got me a set for fixing the house. I guess he knows his tools. I am thinking expansion of tools. So far the thing I don't like about it is it rust easily.
I guess it just depends on where you keep them. Mine stay in the garage or inside my truck. Haven’t had a problem with rust
@@EverydayJourney how is Pittsburg locking pliers?
Locking pliers? Like vice grips? I don’t own any of the Pittsburgh ones.
Wouldn’t buy this nowadays for $150 but will definitely be worth if you wait for a $99 sale that they have a couple times out the year
This or the 301 set?
I like both. 301 is much heavier but has the bigger sockets
Has it 24 mm socket?
Yes it does. Sorry, I went over the sockets further towards the end
How much
I think, with coupons, you can get it for around $100
@@EverydayJourney thanx brah
Any time
too bad this set has better ratchets than the 301 piece one.
I never got to use these to compare them other than how they feel in my hand. My buddy likes them
How much was it ?
I think it was close to $100. There are coupons all the time
Uh you should probably clean your garage dude. Being a hoarder isn’t something to be proud of
It’s getting better. Little by little
I like dewalts 200 piece better
I haven’t seen that one. Will have to look next time I’m out and about
little tools
Awesome for around the house if your a real mechanic it’s garbage
What about a starting mechanic? They will work fine until they can afford more
You know when the case is junk the tools are also. Pittsburgh is junk!!
Well with Throwing in "Common Sense" you don't buy a cheaper kit to rely on when you are building engines or cars all day, everyday. Unless you Spend $1200-$1500 for the strongest of stuff to complete a set you aren't going to have unbreakable tools. Its irrelevant to say pittburgs brand sucks when it's pretty much the same with many other brands around the same price. The super strong shit Ain't Cheap! These kits are great if you need something in a pinch!
