Review of Kobalt 227 pc Mechanics Tool Set

Recommended Posts

I have had the kobalt set for a couple years now and over all its a good set. The allen wrenches are ridiculous in those plastis pouches, I would recommend geting a set of t handles from HF. However the best part is the ratchets, these things are tough, like 3ft pipe on a 3/8 without breaking. The same cant be said for my craftsman set, they break everytime. Now you could say they both have a lifetime warranty so if it breaks what does it matter. However I would prefer that a tool manufacture put a lifetime warranty on a tool because its tough and not because its cheep to replace. Finally for the price, wait till black friday and buy it for 99 I would feel ripped off if I payed 199 for it.

 

also great review by the way.

The Bondhus T-Handle hex keys are awesome. I have Proto sets in SAE and Metric and while the quality is great, the metric are only available in a 6 piece set that stops at 8mm.

Makes no sense to me as 10 and 12mm are both very common hex sizes.
