Good tools… bad packaging and case The tools themselves came in good mint condition. I’ve had to try almost all of the tools already so I can vouch that they work properly. Nothing gets jarred or bent. Its too soon so see any signs of rust. The tools are well polished and handles are made of plastic so I don’t expect any rust / stain issues.On the other hand, who the hell puts a screw to lock the case. There’s an obvious flaw. If you do buy this, please ensure you (or some poor soul living around you) caries a screw-driver else you can forget ever opening the tool set. They must find a better way to lock things.The case itself is pretty bad as well. Its too tight for some tools while for others, things don’t even stay in place. It makes closing the case, cumbersome. I’m right now solving this issue by using tape to keep the loose bits in place.TL; DR :The tools are good and will probably stay good. Make sure you have a screw-driver to open the case. The case is not of good…

Good kit I bought this kit to keep in the house and avoid having to run to my larger tool chest in the garage when I need a couple of basic tools. In general, the tool quality is good for general household use, and I really only have two complaints about the kit.The first that is that the ratchet is basically junk (but what can you really expect for $43?). It’s O.K. for light duty work, but don’t expect to crank on it very hard without it breaking. If you think you’ll need this tool often, consider buying a higher quality ratchet and socket kit.The other issue that I have is that there are no wrenches included in the kit. I plan on picking up a cheap crescent wrench to add to mine. (Come on, Stanley, increase the price a few bucks if you have to, but make this a complete kit by adding a crescent wrench!)Finally, the plastic box that the tools come in is nice from the standpoint of being able to quickly locate a tool, but the box takes up a lot of storage…
