Here's the big daddy of home and auto tool sets--everything youcould want for just about any job at home or on the road. Open the lidon this fire-engine red metal toolbox, and you'll feel like a kid onChristmas morning. The tools are dropforged and heat-treated to last,and the sockets and wrenches come in SAE as well as metric sizes. Thescrewdriver bits are, to our delight, in labeled slots in the box,which features a removable tray. There's a great assortment of sockets,including the kind you need for spark plugs, and there's also a niceamount of fasteners. The latches on the tool chest make that satisfying"click" that lets you know they're closed tight. There's even a placeto slip on a padlock if you need to. We think this is a great group oftools for the money. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

You get what you pay for!
For the price you are paying, this toolset is a bargain.However the tools themselves and the contruction of the metal box leave little to be desired.My initial impression of the product was satisfactory until I tried to take the tools out its molded plastic holder.The molds were made a little too smallthat when I succeeded pulling any of the tools out, the plastic mold was deformed visibly.Also when the socket wrench was a little tight fitting and when I attempted to pull socket out itended up bending a metal washer inside the rotating portion ofwrench.Bottom line is this.For the price you're paying, you will get exactly what you pay for.Luckily comes with a lifetime warranty so if you break something you can get it replaced.If you're a penny pincher then this maybe a tool set for you but if you're looking for a high quality tool set I would recommend you go with a brand name (Craftman, Stanley, etc.)

Pretty good.
I like the tool set and all the items that came with it. I have only one complaint, I've only had it for about two weeks and one of the clips on the front side of the box has broken through the housing of the down bracing lock showing poor manufacturing. I'm not picky about tools but I think anyone thinking about buying this item should know about it.

Perfect car toolbox
I ordered this because we needed one for the car.It doesn't have a hammer,but throw in a small one of yours and it's perfect.There is also enough room to add other tools you might feel you need. The size is compact, and it fits almost anywhere.The tools are just enough to carry along.Best of all the drawer won't open unless the lid of the box is up.That's a handy feature for transporting from one place to another. It has come in handy twice already, and we've only had it for a for a few weeks.Definitely a best buy for the price. ... Read more

Second set
Such a good collection at such a good price,
that when my first set was stolen, I had no
hesitation in ordering a second.

Seem great so far
I just received this tool set last week and have yet to put it to real use, but so far it seems great.All of the tools feel very sturdy, not light and flimsy like a lot of bargain tools. They sure feel like they will hold up through whatever abuse I manage to put them through.The set contains every hand tool I can imagine needing as just your average guy.At the price, it even makes sense to keep one in the car and one at home, you never know when you might need a 14mm socket while on the road,.

GREAT gift for new home-owners!
This set is GREAT!It's got a TON of different wrenches and 3/8-inch drive sockets.This set is especially good as a gift for those people who are just moving in to their first home and don't have a ton of tools yet.It comes in a very nice custom plastic storage case with a spot for each tool, so its easy to carry around and put away so you can stay organized!This set has been a lifesaver around my house - I highly recommend it! ...

This little tool kit is ideal for dealing with all the average fix-it tasks that pop up around the house or the office. Whether you need to hang a painting on the wall, tighten up that loose leg on your chair, pin a poster up in your cubicle, or simply tighten your eyeglasses, the right tool for the job is here. The 8-ounce steel-handled hammer, slip-joint pliers, and six-in-one screwdriver all feature comfortable rubber grips and are well made and durable tools. You also get four tiny precision screwdrivers--two slotted and two Phillips--for delicate repairs, a 12-foot tape measure, a magnetic torpedo level, and a snap-off-blade utility knife. To top it off, Allied has thrown in 50 assorted fasteners, including brass and steel finish brad nails, some thumbtacks, screws of various sizes, and some picture-hanging hooks. For home use, you'll appreciate the carrying case, which holds every tool in its place so you can always find what you need. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

It rust real fast.
One week after I got this, I lended this to my friend and he returned that to me in 2 days, and I could see rust on the hammer and the screws.They rust in less than 2 weeks.Don't know who to blame, my friend or the product?

It's cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Heck, it's not a serious tool set, but it is a good all-in-one need-something-for-the-apartment set. The downfall of all the tool-sets is that if you break a tool or lose a tool, you can't find a replacement to fit in the exact blow-molded spot.
HINT:buy the tool set and then go to your local hardware store and pick up a cheap toolbox to store the tools in.This way, you will be able to augment, change, replace your tools over time without behind stuck with the cheasy case.

Great Set!!!
It had everything I needed. I reccommend it. ... Read more

This comprehensive power bit set is an ideal complement to any cordless drill/driver. The quick-change chuck and vast array of driver bits are especially handy for cabinetmakers who encounter a wide range of fasteners and often need to make several bit changes in a short amount of time. The carrying case is tough and has a labeled spot for each bit, so you can always find the right one quickly. The bits are made from heat-treated alloy steel, and they resist deforming and stripping as well as most bits on the market. The set also includes five high-carbon-steel pilot-point drill bits, with shanks designed for use with the quick-change chuck. For 2-inch bits the set includes: six standard and six metric nut-driver bits, eight Torx bits, eight hex bits, four Phillips bits, four slotted bits, and three square-drive bits. For bit tips you get 10 no. 2 Phillips bits, 4 slotted bits of various sizes, 6 Torx bits ranging in size from T-10 to T-30, 3 Pozi bits, 3 Phillips bits--nos. 0, 1, and 3--8 hex bits, 2 clutch bits, and a 1/4-inch socket-drive adapter. Also included are a countersink bit, two handy screw-finder bits, and the quick-change chuck. This is the biggest and most comprehensive driver bit set in our store, and when you consider the included quick-change chuck, there's just no better deal for the money. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

Good value for the $
It is hard to beat the value you get in this set. It contains most of the bits you would need and want.I thought it was odd however that while it contains both metric and english sockets it only has english hex keys.If your a bicyclist like me you know how important metric Allen keys are. The entire set is well layed out and labled

great set!!!
this set is a great value.it comes with every kind of bit you can imagine.they are not the strongest bits in the world but they are pretty tough and for the price you cant go wrong.the case is great too.all the bits have a marked spot both size and what kind of bit it is.very well thought out.if you need screwdriver bits dont wast your money buying 1 or 2 at a time get this set.

great
I think this is a tool that everyone must have at home, in a perfect case and well organiced. ... Read more

This is a great set for the mechanic--and the aspiringmechanic. Chrome-plated carbon-steel SAE and metric wrenches for everyautomotive job, coupled with 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch drive sockets wouldmake any grease monkey happy. We're glad to see that Allied hasaccommodated our silent but frequent wish: Can't somebody include ahandful of cable ties in one of these kits? They're conveniently tuckedinto the rugged case along with a mallet, wire brush, wire stripper,pliers, and electrical tape.

Excellent Tool Kit For The Price!
This is a great tool set for the price.It is not designed for the repair shop mechanic in an everyday use situation, but is great for the casual user.The Companion line at Sears gives you much less for a lot more money.If you plan to use tools everyday at a repair shop, buy something with a lifetime guarantee like the Craftsman line.

Great tool
This kit comes with everything you could need for a quick repair on your vehicle, other reviews said the tools were weak? they are incredibly strong and durable, great buy!

Our Car Club loves these
I saw this awhile back on Amazon and had to buy it.I also recommended it to my car club on ClubRSX.com.We all bought them up to the point where it was out of stock on Amazon for a few weeks.We had a car meet where we needed these tools to work on our cars to modify them and they worked well.For $ bux, can't go wrong and it's all in one box.Handy and quick.Granted we're not rebuilding engines or some "heavy duty" work, but we were doing some moderate modifications like putting in new gaskets, cold air intakes, new head units, etc.These worked really well.Some of the sockets fall out easily, but that's ok.You get that with most socket sets except for the most expensive Craftsman ones (you get what you paid for).I later saw these in Pep Boys for $, so my car club is quite glad we snatched these up cheap.For $, how can you go wrong? ...

Editorial Review

In terms of bang per buck, if a regular screwdriver were a firecracker, this set would easily be a truckload of dynamite. The screwdriver itself is a beefy, well-made tool with a large cushioned grip offering plenty of hold and leverage. The pivoting shank can be locked into straight-out and either 45- or 90-degree-angle positions, offering an easy approach to difficult-to-reach screws or extra leverage for bearing down on a nut with one of the sockets. The kit includes three square-drive bits, seven Phillips-head bits, eight hex bits, two clutch bits, six Torx-drive bits, and four slotted bits, as well as longer nos. 1 and 2 Phillips bits and two longer slotted bits. You get nine standard sockets, from 3/16 to 1/2 inch, and nine metric sockets, from 5 to 13mm, along with two 1/4-inch socket-drive adapters. To complete the fastening cornucopia, Allied has included 2-1/4- and 4-inch bit-holder extensions. We really like the tough carrying case it all comes in, which has a perfect place for everything. This is the most versatile ratcheting-driver set in our store, and considering that the ratchet driver itself is such a durable tool, we don't think you can do better for the money. --Brian Trinen ...

This set Rocks like a Campervan on a Honeymoon!
I've had no problems at all with this set.I've used it numerous times since I received it last month, and I couldn't be happier. What's great about it is the pivoting shank (neck?) on the thing that allows you to get into places other screwdrivers can't.I've used pivoting screwdrivers before, but this one actually locks in at a 45-degree angle, and won't slip in high torque situations the way others will.I've used this on my cars where I can attach the sockets to it and turn nuts in places my regular ratchet can't reach.

I've seriously reefed on this thing with as much force as I could muster (I'm not a small guy) when tightening the valve adjustment nut for the number three cylinder on my 1967 VW Van (which I love) and the thing held up under my best effort.I'm not saying it's unbreakable, because nothing is.I'm sure I could stick this thing in my vise put all my weight on sideways and it would break, but why would I do that.I paid for this thing!I found the bits and sockets to be pretty good.Sure they'll wear out a little faster than a professional quality socket set, and if you're a pro mechanic who goes at it 8 hours a day 5 days a week you probably won't even be looking at this set. I use it for a couple hours every weekend on my old air-cooled car collection (these VWs need a lot of attention, but they're worth it)and it's held up just fine under my abuse.This quickly went from being an impulse buy addition to my already extensive toolset, to being the most regularly usedtool in the box.Unlike my other ratchet sets, this one has a case with a labeled spot for every bit and socket, so they don't all end up floating around my toolbox. Dig it!

Didn't last long
The ratchet broke with my wife using it to break loose a torx screw. Not a quality ratchet in the kit. ... Read more

Grab your glue gun, we're going in! This hobbyist's tool set has a good working glue gun and a host of other handy tools for delicate arts-and-crafts projects. Also included is a high-quality spring-loaded pair of minipliers with a wire-cutting edge. We were also impressed with the tweezers. These aren't your dinky pull-a-sliver-out-of-your-finger tweezers, but a serious tool that fits comfortably in the hand and is easy to control when performing delicate work. The miniature screwdriver set is perfect for everything from repairing eyeglasses to assembling tiny parts. You get two Phillips screwdrivers and two similarly sized slotted screwdrivers. Among the handiest tools in the kit are the small spring clamps. They have easy-to-grip rubber on the handles, and are just the right size for holding small, freshly glued wood pieces together. You also get a handy magnifying glass, a small utility knife, some sharp-angled cutting shears, and a spring-loaded 6-foot tape measure. This set is full of all the tools you'd want for any number of crafting projects. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

While this is a 51-piece tool set, we should mention at the outset that 22 of the "pieces" are 4-inch plastic cable ties. Also included in the count of 51 items are 2 electrical testers, a roll of electrical tape, and the handy carrying pouch. That said, this compact set does offer quite a bit of what you'd want to have in your car to handle roadside repairs. The ratcheting handle is intended for use as both a screwdriver and--with the aid of an included adapter--a socket driver. While this set isn't heavy duty enough for making serious repairs, the tools are well constructed and handy for tightening up loose nuts, bolts, and screws, and for inspection and minor repairs of your car's wiring. If these are the only tools you keep in the car, you're going to be a lot better off than without them, and if you're looking for the smallest kit you can get by with, this is the one. --Brian Trinen ...

Really 100 piece set!
It comes with 35 electrical terminals and 100 fasteners as part of the kit. So it really comes with 99 tools and the box.

It was inexpensive and if you're not looking to do a lot of repair work on your car, it's probably a good buy for you. Something to keep in your trunk. I can tell already though from looking at this, that I'm going to want to get REAL set elsewhere. For basic maintenance work this set will do.

Wow! Need I say more?
I'm buying my first car and figured that I will need a tool kit. This has to be the best bang for the buck. Looks like it has everything for moderate engine tuneup job. A torque wrench would be nice though. Overall this is a good toolkit to have in your car should the unexpected happen. Besides you can never go wrong with having a toolkit in your car anyway. ...

Great set of tools, great case
Over the years I have had many tool sets - especially socket sets. There's a reason for that - sockets easily fall out of the case when you open them and it is hard to keep things organized.Not so with this set.Each tool is secure in its own place - no falling out and getting lost.In addition the quality of the tools seems excellent.With both SAE and metric sizes this is a really nice set and the price is right.

A really great set of tools
I decided to purchase a real socket wrench set after I knocked my 15 year old cheep-o set on the floor one too many times - and got tired of putting everything back in the case.

First let me say that this case is designed so that WHEN you knock this set on the ground all the sockets stay in place.Second, this set is very well made and thought out.(For instance the metric and standard allen wrenches are different colors - so you can tell them apart at a glance.) These wrenches fit the hand just right and are a pleasure to use.

I highly recommend them. ... Read more

Great, but a bit short
These are nice tie-downs (mine came in blue), but, for my Explorer Sprot Trac, if the load extends at at above the bed - they are just too short. I had a rubbermaid trash can standing up, and the strap barely made. If length is not a concern, go for it. For outside tie-downs on a full size pick up - I am not sure they will cut it.

Great Product
These tie downs are great, i bought them for my boat, it wieghs about 900 pounds, I cant belive the strength, ive went through several different 'high strength' nylon cords and locks downs to secure my new boat, and they all snap first day, ive had these and they work great, no sign of weakness yet and the boat has been put in and out of the water a bunch of times, and they still look good as new, when towing ive replaced the metal chains under the truck for these light wieght but extremly tough ties, this product is well worth the money! ...
