Mechanics Tool Set (211-Piece)

The drawers do not stay shut causing it to lose sockets all over the place and when you go to home Depot to return and get a new one they won't accept if it's missing anything. I've had to use a ratchet strap to keep it close but in a rush I don't always remember to strap it

An excellent set of wrenches and sockets, but my advice is grab a bungee cord so you're not sitting in your driveway in the dark picking up and sorting 200 pieces of small metal. The little door flaps that hold the drawers in place can not take the weight and will all come tumbling down. Trust me.

The tools are of premium quality but the box itself is where they cheaped out on. The front two latches broke after a few uses, and I can’t even buy the latches any where else, so every time I pick up the tool set I have to angle it so the front two drawers don’t fall out. I really wish they provided some kind of solution or even parts I can buy separately to repair it.

I purchased the 290pc set and am exceptionally pleased. Whether you’re a professional mechanic or an average Joe working out of your garage, this set will get the job done every time. The case is appealing to the eyes, very well organized and easy to use and plenty tight to hold your tools in place to prevent a spill. The quality of the individual tools are top-notch and appear to be neck and neck with top brands, and don’t forget about the lifetime warranty! I’ve used this set for several oil changes, pulling an engine apart on a CJ5, changing mower blades and much more in the short time I’ve owned it, and I’ve got to say, these tools are solid and easy to work with. I’m usually pretty critical about my purchases and do a lot of research before buying—I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this product to anyone, I’ve already recommended it to a couple of ‘tool nut’ coworkers. You won’t find this assortment of tools with this quality for this price anywhere!

This Husky ratchet set is good if you need a starter set with a bunch of pieces. As with most sets like these, there are a bunch of non-socket type tools (Allen wrenches and some combo wrenches) included which chew up the “piece count” with items that aren’t sockets or ratchet accessories. The case is good enough, and each socket tray space is labeled with the socket’s size.

Well, here we have it, a great, and complete set of tools ranging from 5/32” - 1” SAE / 4 – 22mm, 6- and 12-point sockets in 1/4 in., 3/8 in. and 1/2 in drive, 72 tooth Ratchets for each drive size you have here a full range of options with some of the sizes in each drive size. That is just the start, there are 26 Bit Sockets, 1/4 – 5.8” SAE / 8 – 18mm, 12-Point Combination Wrench’s (13) and Hex Keys, both long and short arm. Plus, nut setters, bits (Philips and Slotted), spark plug sockets and Extensions and Adapters. All in a well-organized storage case/box, that takes me back to my FAA repair man days and we have many of the basic tools as here to do most all the task needed. Yes, I also had some other special sockets sizes, bit types and long arm ratchets etc... but even in auto repair there’s always special tools needed. I like the 72-tooth ratchet with its 5° arc swing making them easy to use in those hard-to-reach spots. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance, but beyond that it easier to clean. All sockets, bits, wrenches have large, hard-stamped size markings allow for easy readability as does the box. Husky’s ‘Mechanics Tool Set with Chest (244-Piece)’ can’t go wrong with husky, ALL; ‘Backed by a lifetime warranty, if your Husky product ever fails, bring it back and we will replace it for free.’ Done this more than once – simple as that, all that’s needed is the damaged tool in hand and it was replaced.

For years I have been working with small sets of tools and it seems when I started a project, I always grabbed the wrong set. What I grabbed was SAE when I needed metric, or it was not beefy enough or just the wrong tool to begin with. This Husky 244-piece set has everything I need in one convenient chest. In one hefty 13x20x10.5” high chest It has a complete (40 piece) set of Allen wrenches in 4 labeled holders (2 Metric and 2 Standard); ¼, 3/8 and ½” ratchets with extenders and converters; a full set of shallow and deep sockets and drivers; open and box end wrenches, and a nut driver set with handle. I found the action on the ratchets to be smooth and they are comfortable to use. The best thing is having every tool in one convenient chest with well labeled spaces for each tool. It is easy to grab the right tool on the first try and easy to spot a hole where something is missing. Having everything together is a great time saver. I have really enjoyed working with these tools and looking forward to many years of usage.

The Husky 244 piece ratchet and tool set is perfect for a household garage. The kit has pretty much everything that you are likely to encounter a need for as a homeowner. All the standard socket sizes are covered in both SAE and Metric, as well as in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive sizes. Each of the standard size ratchets are in the kit, as well. The kit also contains a hex driver and an array of hex heads (Phillips, flat, torx, Allen, etc.). There are also adapters that range up and down between sizes. The kit comes in a compact shadow-boxed case that makes keeping organized a snap. Overall, the kit is lighter weight than I would have thought it would be. The finish on the tools is a very nice chrome finish that should keep the rust away. One thing that seemed like it may have been a bit rushed was the deburring step on the box wrenches. These seemed to have a sharp ridge on the box-end. This should wear down with time, but is also likely where any future rust would start. The only downside I find with the tool kit is the case. The two primary latches that keep the kit closed seem a little flimsy, and I would worry about the case falling open while I'd be carrying it.. The rest of the case is great... even the handle seems well thought out. Even with that, though, I would definitely recommend this tool kit to anyone who is getting their first car, or first home, as it has most of the tools you will probably find yourself needing, and it's all together in a nice, tidy package.

For years I have been working from three different sets of sockets from different brand manufacturers. The sets never seemed to be where I needed them, often in the house when I needed them in the garage. This set puts all of the three common sizes (1/4, 3/8, 1/2") all in an easy to carry case. The set also comes with a basic set of combination wrenches (metric and imperial), screwdriver with interchangeable bits, Torx hex and Phillips sockets, Allen wrenches both socket mounted and individual. There are a small variety of socket extensions as well. The chrome finish looks well applied and should last for years. There is a recess for most everything so you will know if you've left a socket or bit behind. Only suggestion would be to add a 14mm combination wrench as certain cars require that size and if you can't fit a ratchet in you would still have to supply your own. All in all a great set of tools.

I don't think I will ever have to purchase another tool set again when it comes to ratchets, sockets, screwdrivers, and hex keys. This set appears to have EVERYTHING I will ever need. In fact, I have decided to give my old tools away to my young nephews because I won't be needing them anymore. I currently have them hanging on a peg board, but this set is so much more handy because everything fits nicely and neatly in a durable, plastic chest. As a result, it will take up a lot less room and I know the things that I will need will all be inside. The presentation of the tools is very impressive. Everything is nicely arranged by size on four separate shelves. The shelves are magnetic, which is a nice touch. The parts easily slide into place and are held there so that they don't go rolling around when you transport them in the case. Two of the shelves pull out from the bottom, another nice feature. As soon as I get familiar with what is on each shelf, I will be able to quickly go to each one, depending on the part that I need. There are also latches on each side to secure the shelf. BTW, I never knew that they made so many different-sized hex keys! My current collection consists of about twenty, whereas this tool set has four or five times that amount. Really pleased with this tool set because it is a "one-stop" shop for all of the tools/accessories I need. Everything appears well-made and has a quality feel to it. Definitely something that will be passed on to future generations because it is that good and that complete.
