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 used tool 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

If you're looking for a great deal on a basic home tool set, it's hard to beat this collection from Allied. In fact, the 16-ounce hammer alone is nearly worth the price of the whole set; add all the other tools and you've got a real bargain. We were impressed with the quality of the needle-nose and slip-joint pliers. Not only are they well made, they both also come with soft-handle grips more commonly found on higher-end tools. Also included is a magnetic screwdriver with 10 bits, a 6-inch adjustable wrench, 8 hex wrenches, a 3/8-drive ratchet with a 3-inch extension bar, and a socket set. The socket set also includes 14 standard sockets and 6 metric sockets. To round out the collection Allied has thrown in a decent utility knife, a 12-foot tape measure, and a torpedo level. Unfortunately, the tape measure and level are not the same quality as the rest of the tools in the kit and look like toys in comparison. But despite the laughable tape measure and level, one could easily spend a whole lot more trying to buy this same collection of tools separately, and the quality of the majority of them is well worth it. This is a great set for repairs around the house, but consider a larger set with combination wrenches if you plan on doing much automotive work. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

Nice to have all the tools together in one box, but......
I just received this tool-set yesterday so I can't really comment through use of the tools. But upon inspection, the different tools appear very poorly made - example: the ratchet tool feels like it is going to fall apart as you twist the head to change the direction from left to right, and the flashlight is light as a feather.

Given that, having these tools together in one portable place is nice. Plus I guess you shouldn't really expect much more for the price. Don't get me wrong, I still plan on keeping this in the back of my truck. But if I were to do it again, I might spend a little more money, and put an emergency tool-box together myself.

Super tool kit.
I was lookin for tool kits to take home to India, and this is just the perfect toolkit I could have thought about. ... Read more

Whether you're changing your oil or assembling new furniture, Allied's 155-piece home project set includes everything you need to be a successful do-it-yourselfer. The set includes six SAE combination wrenches with Fast-Fit design on the open-end side, allowing for quick rotation around nuts and bolts in tight places. It also includes a 3/8-inch reversible ratchet with 18 standard and metric sockets, an adjustable wrench with cushion grip, two pairs of pliers, and a six-in-one interchangeable screw and nut driver, giving you the fundamental tools necessary for making simple auto repairs or basic plumbing fixes. The set also includes a rubber-grip claw hammer, a set of precision screwdrivers, a snap-off blade knife, and a 12-foot tape measure--a great combination for hanging pictures or installing shelving. Also included are two sets of hex keys (one SAE, one metric) and a box of assorted fasteners. It should be noted that the fasteners--including multiple sets of screws, tacks, and finishing nails--amount to 94 of the 155 pieces. The entire set comes with a rather ingenious three-fold case that securely stores every tool and can even be wall mounted. It's durable, lightweight, and very easy to transport. Overall, this is an excellent choice for someone who's trying to avoid the cost of professional-quality tools but wants something that will hold up to regular, around-the-home use. --Jonathon Tudor ...

Good tools with good warranty for less than $... each
This is a nice, well rounded set of tools that covers most of the needs any normal person would have working around the house. Want to hang a picture? It's got the tools. Want to fix the dryer? It has what you will need. Want to put together juniors new bike? You are ready to do it with this set. All in all this comes with everything you would need to to your typical light do it yourself project or home repair. It also has a couple of convenient extras like jewelers screwdrivers that are perfect for fixing that loose temple on your eyeglasses and a utility knife with snap of blades, great for doing wallpaper.

Another thing that is handy is that it does come with a pretty sturdy and lightweight case which is compact enough to carry just about anywhere. The case itself has slots for each tool (labels on the sockets are very convenient and much easier than trying to read the engraving) and if a slot isn't filled, you know that that tool is missing! It also has a small sectioned box ideal for putting in a few screws and nails and it already comes with an assortment of fasteners.

Th tools themselves are surprisingly sturdy, and they do come with a lifetime warranty. They almost all have a rubber comfort grip on the handles which definately makes them easier on the hands when you are doing a little bit of more repetitive work. When you consider that they are less than $.. each, these are really a good value.

I have been shopping around for a couple of weeks, and when it was all said and done, this set had more to offer than what I could find in the home centers in my area, and was less expensive! Whether you are a weekend warrior or you are just sick and tired of using a shoe to hammer in the nail for your latest picture hanging this tool kit should fit your needs. One note is that it should really be called a 61 peice tool set since 94 of the pieces are fasteners. ... Read more

Open this case and head for the wilderness--its contents justmake you want to be in the great outdoors. Allied's put together agreat collection of outdoor essentials and packed them, with an eyetoward space efficiency, into a rugged carrying case. We're prettytaken with this set--it makes you feel like a kid again, but withcooler tools. Wrap your hand around the bent axe handle and imagine thefire wood you could split--after you trim off the limbs with yourfolding saw, of course. The tent stake puller sure beats using a campfork, and you'll also be ready for anything with the first-aid kit, 25feet of rope, a lighter, and the neatest gadget of all--a compass,whistle, waterproof match case, and signal mirror all rolled into one.And last but not least, the thing no one ventures into the wildernesswithout: a roll of duct tape.

Not bad at all
I would have given this a five except for the fact that the molding inside has a little trouble keeping the saw in place when you first hold it. Don't get me wrong, you ain't losing a hand but it is just a tad annoying to have a piece loose when you open it like a suitcase. Other than that it has plenty of things you will need to rough it and it is compact. not a bad price either. ... Read more

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!

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 ...

You might think that a children's tool set that comes in a bright-green plastic case shaped like an old farm tractor would be full of toy tools or, at best, poor-quality tools, but you'd be wrong. This little kit comes with real tools that can actually be used to repair farm equipment. The 8-ounce claw hammer has a smooth face and a steel handle with a comfortable rubber grip. It's a great tool for light hammering of small nails. For turning nuts and bolts, junior farmers get a 1/4-inch drive ratchet, nine standard sockets from 3/16 to 5/8 inch, a short extension bar, and a spinner handle. There's also a set of eight hex wrenches from 1/16 inch up to 1/4 inch that come in a convenient holder. We really like the quality of the 6-inch adjustable wrench, complete with a nice yellow rubber grip, and the matching slip-joint pliers. To top off the kit, there are three screwdrivers--one slotted and two Phillips. This is a serious little tool set that any kid will be glad to own. We've seen poorer-quality tools in sets meant for homeowners. If there isn't any old farm equipment lying around in need of repair, this set works just as well on bicycles and wagons. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

Carpentry is not just for Mom and Dad. This Junior Carpenter kit has real tools made for child-size hands and projects. It also comes with a junior-size tool belt that carries all the tools plus a few nails, real safety goggles, and a diminutive pair of well-stitched genuine-cowhide gloves. However, the kiddy hardhat isn't a real hardhat and won't protect from falling debris, so you'll want to make sure projects stay well below the little workers. The 8-ounce hammer has a comfortable rubber grip, a smooth face, and a sturdy steel shaft. There's one Phillips and one slotted chrome-vanadium screwdriver, each with a safety-yellow plastic handle; a 6-foot tape measure with standard and metric markings that has a belt hook; a plastic carpenter's square, and a plastic ruler. We really like the small oak sanding block, complete with a strip of sandpaper to get your little woodworker started. The finishing touch is the three pencils and the obligatory wide rainbow suspenders, so your junior carpenter can look just as goofy as a big carpenter. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

For the young mechanic who just can't wait to get bigger to start working with his hands, Allied offers this mechanic's tool set sized for smaller grips. It includes an embroidered "Junior Mechanic" cap, a flashlight, a pair of scratch-resistant safety goggles, a squeegee, a funnel, and a ratchet and screwdriver set in its own case. The rachet/screwdriver set includes three assorted screwdrivers, a 1/4-inch ratchet, a 3-inch extension, a ball wrench, and 12 SAE and metric sockets. While this set is designed as much for entertainment purposes as regular use, each item is of sufficient quality to hold up to a child's abuse. The goggles, funnel, and squeegee are simply smaller versions of what an adult would use, and while the flashlight is a bit flimsy, the ratchet and driver set are of surprisingly good quality and can certainly be used to perform basic repairs on bikes, roller blades, and the like. --Jonathon Tudor ...
