BMack37 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 93 piece Kobalt Mechanics kit, prices ranging from $6 to $50, not sure if it's Taiwan or China. I think they're made in China but it's been a while since I looked at the sets. http://www.lowes.com/pd_338514-25428-85179___?productId=3372074 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 other than Target opening up a bunch of stores and closing shop not long after, wife was hired high up on the pay scale and got a pretty nice package deal when they closed. still don't make sense the money they took a loss with.

BMack37 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I wouldn't recommend Blue Hawk anything, pretty cheaply made stuff. Stuff makes HF look like quality, think that's why Lowe's is replacing the Blue Hawk stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Is the pouch at least somewhat decent? You could probably sharpen the cutters yourself to at least make the stuff usable. Or if it's not too far out of your way you can return it, not sure if the $10 is worth it, especially if you're like me, return something for $10 buy some crap I don't need for $50+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Must be nice. Paid way more than that for mine. Recip saws never dropped in my area. Would love to have gotten one when they were like $39. ErrrrrSent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Lima OH $99 for this kit. There are several different models on display here and I just cant get comfortable holding them in my hands, the 18v that is. I must have wide hands because when i hold it, the area between my first finger and thumb gets jammed right up under the rear of the motor, i would get blisters right off the bat.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thought this was about the pass through at first. If you're going to buy cheap tools just go to HF if you can and get name brand cheap tools. That being said, I might pick one of these sets up out of curiosity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
