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 small that 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 it ended up bending a metal washer inside the rotating portion of wrench. 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.

Looking for a hammer ... pass your way ;-)
I like this box, I would have put 3 stars if it was more [pricey] but regarding the low price, I can't expect more ... but I would have loved to get a HAMMER also ... ... 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. This is a nice, tight collection for atiny price. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Servicable set of tools at a great price
Let's not beat around the bush: This is a set of cheap
tools. These are not the tools your mechanic uses. These
are not even the tools you would use regularly if you work
on your own car (or house). However, as a set of convenience
tools--that is, tools you have stashed away somewhere
for quick access when you are too rushed or lazy to dig out
the good ones--this set can't be bettered at the price. This
is NOT a tool set for heavy use. But it's perfect as
an emergency set in your trunk, or a second set around the house,
or a starter set for your kids...

This tool set features a nice assortment of tools, from
wrenchs to screwdrivers to pliers to sockets and more. 131 pieces
for about the price you'd pay for a single high quality set of
pliers at Sears or from SnapOn or Mack. That tells you
something inescapable about the quality, but there are times
when it's OK to skimp on quality...

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?

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!

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. ...

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

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

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

Whether you live in a house, in an apartment, on a boat, or out of your car, you need a tool set. This 159-piece set by Allied contains a full complement of hand tools and offers everything you'll need to tackle common tasks from assembling furniture and installing light fixtures to tinkering with small appliances. Fitted into the compact case are five wrench sets, a socket set, an adjustable wrench, a driver set, pliers, a crimper/stripper, an electrical tester, a tire-pressure gauge, and more. All the tools are built to last. The wrenches are well designed, and the pliers, snips, and crimper have padded rubber grips. Keep in mind, however, that while this is a terrific household tool set, the tools are designed for small projects. The wrenches, in other words, while perfect for putting together a bookcase, aren't large enough to handle the nuts and bolts on a backyard swing set. If you buy all these tools individually at the hardware store, you'll easily pay twice as much. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Jam packed with tools; very handy and useful!
This tool set it loaded with a socket set, wrench set, adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, pliers, electrical crimper/stripper set, etc. It has just about everything EXCEPT a really good hammer!

The carrying case is nice and coompact as well.

Excellent value for the price
For the price, this tool set is an outstanding value. Quality is quite good. Although intended for the car, the tools can be used for many jobs around the house. I was very pleased with this purchase.

Great for the house; not good for the car
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.

Okay Set for Household Chores
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.
