CRAFTSMAN 230 Pcs Mechanics Tool Set, Socket Wrench Set, Car Tool Kit with VERSASTACK Toolbox, SAE and Metric,1/4 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 Drive, Short and Long Arm Hex Keys (CMMT45306)

First off, if you want legitimate Made in USA tools by Craftsman, hit up your local flea market (swap meet) or online used tools marketplaces (CL, FB Marketplace, etc.). This is NOT the original USA brand and like a lot of the name brands of yesteryear, these are made 'off shore'. But no worries. These are as good as any of the other foreign tools and when a bunch of military graduates had to get a 'starter' tool set to get through A-School, this kit won hands down. Why? Great assortment of SAE and SI (metric). Great packaging. Great quality. Price? SUPERB! A whole bunch of Coasties, Marines, and Soldiers immediately ordered this kit for under $100. No, really. Less than a hundred bucks and to date, of 60 kits purchased not a single tool has broken under almost daily use! Again, daily USE, not abuse. Could these men and women gone into debt buying 'buy once cry once' top name (S**p-O*)? Sure but at this stage of their careers, they need to learn the trades, keep their money (Uncle Sam deducts $350/month for food you know), and take care of families. Once again, Amazon sales keep our heroes and heroines in the game. Thank you Amazon and thank you Craftsman.

With an upcoming hub/bearing assembly swap on 3 of the 4 wheels and new brakes on all four, I needed a new ratchet as my 28-year-old Craftsman 3/8" ratchet suffered a couple of rounded off teeth after years of use and abuse. Shopping around just for a ratchet, and wanting to also buy a 1/2" ratchet, the prices pushed me to start looking at larger/bundled kits. While I didn't really need all of the sockets and wrenches included in this kit, I couldn't beat the price, especially with the price reduction on this kit, which by the way is still full price at Lowes. I couldn't be happier with this kit, and it should well-serve any weekend warrior mechanic for years to come, as long as you don't abuse the tools. I added some adapters to the kit to allow use of the 1/2" drive with some of the 3/8" sockets, as the length of the 1/2" drive provides a little more leverage, finding that sweet spot when the 3/8" drive isn't enough and my 18" breaker bar is too much/doesn't fit in the tight spot. The plastic case, with the removeable trays/drawers keeps everything neat and tidy, easily identifying when something is missing. With my aging eyes, it was tough to see the raised numbering to identify the socket size, but this is easily addressed by coloring the raised numbering with a black Sharpie to make them contrast against the rest of the red tray. It was nice how the trays can be removed and stacked on top of the case for easy access. As mentioned above, I added adapters, but I also added a 6" 3/8" drive extension as the included extensions were too short to access the mounting bolts for the brake calipers and hub/bearing assemblies on my vehicle. The layout of the trays/drawers leaves plenty of space for these additions and probably a bit more. This kit paired with the Craftsman 1/2" impact driver, and the added adapters and extension, I was able to tackle the job easily and save myself a ton of money instead of paying the dealership or some other garage to do this. The only thing needed for the job that wasn't in this kit was a 32mm socket to remove the axel nuts, thankfully I was able to borrow one from a friend. Overall, this is a great kit and I highly recommend it, especially if it is $90 below regular price.

Great quality and good price. GREAT STARTER SET for grandson

This a great set, especially for the price. I got the 230 piece for half price. The case fits easily with the other Craftsman Verastack containers. The ratchets are slimmer as described and feel good in the hand. However, what is an already good set could be better. First, the drawers slide but are not on rollers like other Verastack containers. Rollers would be nice. Second, the drawers are not interchangeable, meaning you cannot rearrange them top to bottom. I would prefer to put the 3/8 on top since I use that size the most. Third, the casing is OK, but it would have been nice if they figured out a way for you to maximize the space. The drawers use built in plastic pegs, etc. and there is a ton of dead space between everything. I would prefer this to have been made so we can rearrange the tools in the drawers to maximize the space--perhaps removable foam. Finally, the regular wrenches are not very good. They are smooth and look nice, but they suffer from a massive crab claw on the open end and the box end is bigger when compared to old-school USA-made 12 pt raised panel wrenches and even the relatively newer China-made 6 pt raised panel wrenches. I have uploaded a photo so you can see. In both photos, the wrench from this set is on the left, the Chinese made 6 pt raised panel wrench is in the center, and the O.G. USA-made raised panel wrench is on the right. That said, this was a a very good deal for the price. If you are looking for non-professional use tools or are a professional on a budget, these are a good buy. I have been working on cars for 30 years--including major repairs--and have used nothing but budget brands and unbranded stuff. Craftsman are literally some of the "nicest" tools I own, and guess what, the cars get fixed just the same but for A LOT less money in tools. Also, you also cannot beat the Craftsman warranty. I have literally taken cracked 50-year old Craftsman sockets to Ace and Lowes and got a replacement with no questions asked just the way Sears once did it.
