Drawers will fall out, skipped 14mm
The biggest problem is that the drawers don’t lock in so when you pick it up, they can just slide out and toss dozens of socks all Ofer the ground. Also, it comes with a 1/2” AND a 13mm combination wrench but no 14mm, despite the two being almost identical in size. Very not smart. Also, the socket wrenches have the directional levers flip in the opposite direction than most other wrenches so you always have to think of what you are doing if you use any other sockets.

      Perfect Starter Set
      Perfect Starter Set for those like me who want to be a mechanic. This kit comes with a ton of sockets, plenty of sizes, everything is really good quality. Only thing you might have to do is straighten up the sockets because they came out of place but thats easy to do. I fully and highly recommend this kit.

        Disappointed in quality
        I got these as a Christmas gift and it was super excited because my old Stanley set had missing pieces it was like 20 years old and after using these a little bit the wrenches chip easily and I made the mistake of leaving the set outside one time and you can see the photo as to the horrible quality of this tool set

          So, as an avid user of mid quality tools, I was both delighted and disappointed in this set. I had purchased a similar set a few years back that was around 50 or so pieces more, Loved that one! However, this set has a major flaws, first of all, when you pick it up and turn, the drawers like to escape, splattering shiny metal all over the garage. Secondly, once you do find the tiny ones to reassemble after many colorful words, the slightest bump on the drawers will shift the sockets to another slot. Third, either the wells for the sockets need to be deeper, have some sort of gripping material or just a better design over all. Oh and the fact that there's only one 10mm deep well in a 3/4 drive. It states that it's a mechanics set, but obviously they've not talked to one for consultation. Husky, why must you forsaken me?

          Cornucopialife, This set includes 5 10mm sockets, 2 of them being deep well sockets, 1 in 1/4" drive, and 1 in 3/8" drive. We also included a 10mm combination wrench, a 10mm nut setter, and a long and short arm 10mm hex key for all your 10mm fastening needs. If your set was missing any of these please give us a call at 1-888-HD-HUSKY, option 2 and we will get replacements sent out to you. HuskyMHT

          PUT LATCHES ON THE DRAWERS
          I've had this for literally 3 days and have already had the two front drawers completely slide out and lose all my bits twice now, even though this case is made out of plastic there should definitely be some sort of mechanism to keep those trays from sliding. I'm a big Husky fan, I own a wide variety of their tools & tool sets, stand up desks, tool chests, and I will always pay the premium to have the Husky name and quality in my arsenal. However, I don't think this specific product meets those Husky standards and this box should really be re-designed to improve its usability

            Parts won’t stay in place, can’t read sizes
            When I picked it up, all drawers were jammed since the sockets do not stay in place when moving it. I bought this to keep with me out on the trail so this makes it useless since if they won’t stay in place on the ride home, they won’t stay in place racing down trails in my Raptor. So I went to put them back in place and realized that I can’t read half the labels on the sockets. If I can’t read them when they are clean and in good light, what is gonna happen doing a trail repair in less ideal conditions? I will be returning them

              I have a previous model of this product, the only difference being the plastic case for the tools. I have found the tools themselves to be good quality. I've applied large amounts of torque with breaker bars and have never encountered any issues. The wrenches have held up well for over 3 years now. I love having both short and deep sockets of the same size, makes it very convenient to have both available very quickly. I use the small wrenches found in the clear bags all of the time. My biggest complaint with the tool set is the actual tool box, not the tools. The drawers are challenging to open and can be quite jerky, causing sockets to easily fall out. The red plastic clips will eventually fail. My model has additional clips on the side, so it is nice to see they have removed these. I do want to praise the customer service of Husky. Even though I purchased this item 3 years prior they sent me replacement clips free of charge. Since I replaced these I have had no issues. I think the tools are a great value for everything you get.

                Tools themselves are great, the box on the other hand is terrible. Bottom 2 trays are difficult to pull and both come out together. Tray #1 is sagging from the weight, which drags tray #2 out with it. Still well worth the price.

                      So far I have only used around a third of the tools in this set. I have not touched the Allen keys. The ratchets do not lock into the sockets easily. Hopefully this will improve with use. Carried it outside for a job two weeks ago and had a full tray slide out. Sockets everywhere. Make sure you buy a strap to keep the trays in place. I don't love it.

                            Great set. Came with alot of useful tools for a starter set. The case is a little disappointing since the clasps that keep it shut are plastic and the drawers slide open while carrying. The bits move around a bit so not the best for keeping in the trunk but overall a great buy for 100.
