Nice . I bought a set just to keep in my car. Seems to have anything I'd need if I was stuck somewhere. I'm a professional auto tech and use Pittsburgh stuff with snap on and matco...they have a great warranty and the tools really aren't bad quality for the money.
i got this set too but it looks so great in the box, i cant talk myself into using it, i keep reaching for my old tools that are already scratched up... so im thinking of just getting myself a 2nd set so i can use the first one lol
Yeah I sometimes grab my smaller sets if I know that I'm not going to need all the tools in this set but half the time I need another tool and end up lugging this tool set out as well. I wish it wasn't so heavy but of course more tools equal more weight.
I had the same problem with the smaller sockets coming loose while transporting the set. What I did was to glue the original, factory, foam pads to drawer liner material. That solved the problem of loose sockets AND kept those very light and flimsy foam pads from blowing away whenever I used the set.
This has to be the best set you can buy starting out hands down. I own two sets, therefore I don't have to transfer tools between shops. This set in particular has "it all". The set has about every reverse torques one would need, but the only thing that it is lacking is any triple square sockets. Idk best set on my name still.
im super jealous that yours are all rust free and are all together.. gonna try your cardboard trick because it's ridiculous those sockets are all over the place
I like the box better on the tractor supply set but it lacks the larger sockets on the half inch ratchet and has a less quarter inch non deep wells. I do like the combination wrenches on the tractor supply set too. There really is no one size fits all tool set out there :(
That tool kit needs its tweaks as you can see but that is the best kit that’s out and you’ll save over $4000 worth of repairs yourself cars ,trucks And Motorcycle
I have one flathead that doesn't lock in anymore because I forced the wrong size driver into the slot for a smaller one. If yours is not holding screwdrivers after you just bought it I would exchange it.
Why don't you glue the foam to the cardboard so they don't fly away? I took the pins out of mine and stored the pins with the allen keys so I don't lose them then took each tray and they fit perfectly into my husky tool cabinet
Just the other day I decided to find all the missing tools from the box then I never put back lucky for me I'm not missing anything but we'll see as time goes on
@@davidgomez5116 I taped the foam to the cardboard per the advice of a previous commenter, it was a life changer. So far I've only lost one flathead screwdriver out of the set. I love this tool set. It makes not having a garage a little more bareable.
It been 6 years since I bought mine, but I remember on the back there was a photo with all the tools broken out and a list with quantities and sizes. So, in store would be the best place to look.
The large silica packet helps keep the pliars and stuff from rusting up but trust me they've been used. Alternators, brakes, hubs, water heaters, atv and lawnmower repairs. Granted I am not a real "mechanic" but a real ASE certified mechanic hopefully buys better tools than myself.
@@striker1211 Just giving you a hard time. These tools look to be either new and not used.... Or just well taken care of. If they are as used as you say they are, then you take good care of them. Can't say anything bad about that. Good job. Also, just because a guy has some certifications, does not mean they know what they are doing. Trust me. And these days, as long as you have a decent set that won't brake a tool one a week... Most guys don't care. Snapon guys will make fun of anyone poor.
I wish they had put a hammer, vise grips, saw, tape measure, channel loc pliers, and safety glasses in that set. Oh and a ratcheting screwdriver handle.

Excellent set of tools, and one of the few sets that comes with actual screwdrivers, not a handle with multiple bits.
3 year review! Thank you sir.

I have had this kit for 4 yrs and have not broken anything yet!
Nice set. Try thanks for the review!

Hi, excellent tool set very compact and decent price,
Do the ratchet type wrenches fit in the regular wrench place?
Not a bad deal at all, I got the smaller flat pack on sale to toss in the truck as an emergency/travel set. Cardboard between layers is a good tip!
I love this tool set and just use a film of WD-40 to prevent the rust.
I have 2 of these hf sets and my recommendation is get the tractor supply version its $89 to $130 depending on sales. And has lifetime warranty.
I like the box better on the tractor supply set but it lacks the larger sockets on the half inch ratchet and has a less quarter inch non deep wells. I do like the combination wrenches on the tractor supply set too. There really is no one size fits all tool set out there :(
Duct-Tape those foam pieces to the cardboard cut outs, so it's one piece!
Good idea! I'm amazed I didn't think of that. I've chased the foam through the yard on multiple occasions.

silica packet. very smart.
Just got this, some of the screwdrivers wont fit into its place correctly. Is that normal?

Best bang for the buck!
How much this tools please...
Look is cool...
Love this set. $150 with the best coupon.
Wts the coupon
Where exactly do i find that coupon?
@@professionalamateur1549 i bought it for 215$ been fixing my car up no problems
That same screw driver won’t go down in the slow on mine too! It was like that out of the box
Yeah that is one of the few flaws with this kit, along with the omission of a telescoping magnet ;)

Wow..6 point sockets...Craftsman will never figure that one out!
Should glue the cardboard to the bottom of your trays
Anyone know where I could find a list of all the items in this set?
It been 6 years since I bought mine, but I remember on the back there was a photo with all the tools broken out and a list with quantities and sizes. So, in store would be the best place to look.
Good review thank you .
The 12 points are fore 12 point bolts
Yeah I saw my first 12 point bolt this month on a RZR.
Do they have the spark plug sockets?
Yes both sizes, I used this kit for my lawn mower with the larger plug and my ATV with the smaller plug. Can't remember the sizes off hand.
@@striker1211 that’s awesome, do they have various sizes ? Or how many do they have
I threw away the cheap foam it came with and replaced it with the stuff you would put in tool box draws.
does that keep everything from falling out?
Good for long road trips with a old truck lol
Exactly :) I take it whenever we go camping with our old f-150. It comes in handy helping other campers too.
@@striker1211 Cool. I have a 92’ f150 Im thinking of buying this set for the back seat. She is whipped on my ranch horribly but keeps going!
Try useing sticky glue fix that problem screwdriver
Review after 3 years.... 3 years of sitting on a table. These tools are still new.

@WHO WHO WALKWA Easy there now, he said said was messing with the uploader.
I wish they had put a hammer, vise grips, saw, tape measure, channel loc pliers, and safety glasses in that set. Oh and a ratcheting screwdriver handle.
You just abuse them smaking it on the ground no one does that to them
Sockets are great ratchets sucks throw them away and buy some better ones broke them right off the bat
Yeah he's never used that set not in the last 3 years tools would be a little bit more wear and tear You're a weekend wonder at best
Lol look through my vids I use it all the time. I take care of my tools.
