WORKPRO322-Piece Home Repair Tool Kit With Carrying Bag - Basic Household Hand Tools

OK

This kit has everything you need for home repairs. Good quality, compact case, and sturdy tools. Highly recommended!

1st impressions.The plethora of useful tools in this kit make it a great choice for any amateur Do-it-Yourselfer. At 1st glance they appear to be very well designed and made. They are fairly heavy duty so there was no skimping on the amount materials used. The Rubberized grips feel good in the hand and especially when you're clamping down on something. They're not hard-core professional like a set of Snap-On tools, but there are a great value at this price. In contrast, Workpro missed a great opportunity to make the carrying bag more than just mediocre.The eight miniature screw drivers are a welcome addition. I recommend keeping them in Ziploc bags so they don't get lost in the shuffle (see Pic.) The six larger screw drivers are in both long and stubby handles. Of concern is the fact that the tips appeared to be of fairly soft metal. I used one of the Philips head only briefly but the picture below reveals some surprising wear and tear on the tip. You can feel with your finger that it has become rough. This may be indicative of the other pieces. Only time will tell. In contrast, the interchangeable Phillips heads show no wear at all and they worked beautifully.The razor knife is well designed and executed. I have seen none of better. The blade retracts fully and smoothly and the handle stores the spare blades included. The 25' tape measure is surprisingly stout and comparable to Stanley. The two retractable hex wrench sets cover the bases, but are a bit stiff to extend and retract initially, but are adjustable. The wire stripper worked flawlessly but will insult your intelligence by warning you not to use it on "Live Circuits". I'll try and remember that. The needle nose and heavy duty pliers are terrific. The scissors should be heavier duty for a tool collection like this. They seem out of place.I don't work on cars so the set of socket wrenches will only be used sparingly. They seem very well made but that is not my forte. I removed these from the bag and put them in a couple of cigar boxes for storage. This helps with the clutter in the center of the bag with so many tools. A comparable set of wrenches would cost about $45. So if you want wrenches this is a good deal. The problem is the tool bag that is just not design to hold this kind of a set. The bag is jumbled up enough without them.Workpro knows how to design tools but not tool bags. There are internal and external pouches to help organize the tools but they are all too shallow to hold anything of consequence. All they had to do was make them deeper. A horribly missed opportunity. (Pic.). Because of this I have made an investment into a Dewalt tool bag. As you can see it has great deep pockets and accommodates everything. No more fishing around in the central compartment because now I can see all the way to the bottom of the bag! I got the smaller of two they offer. DG5542 Vs DG5543In summary this is a great collection for the amateur like I have become. I highly recommended it for that purpose. To buy individual pieces would cost quite a bit more. The softness of the Philips head has me concerned. Hopefully that kind of deficiency won't show up in the other tools. The sad fact is that these tools are made in China. It's hard to find a kit this many tools and at this price that isn't. We simply don't have the option of buying American unless you want to create your own toolkit and by individual American tools. You'll pay double. Take a look at the documentary called "Death by China" to understand why I bother to bring this up. But don't feel too guilty about buying this kit. Hopefully our current administration can help fix these inequities.

If you're on a budget and want to get quality tools I really recommend this brand

I HATE ineffectiveness, why should I call someone to repair something I can do for myself? More than in others, I hate myself being ineffectual.So I bought this kit. I have done everything from a tune-up on my pickup to hanging drywall and replacing bad studs. This is a GREAT set of tools!The bag. . .The bag is solid, well built indeed. I just HATE rummaging thru my purse to find a 5/8th's box-end wrench. 'A place for everything and everything in it's place!'If you do not mind removing 80% of your gear to find that ONE torx driver, then this is for you!It IS a great set of tool, sturdy and strong. I gave it 4 stars because of the jumble in the bag. There is no rhyme or reason to it, just like a woman's purse. . .

This is a very good value for homeowner use. The tools are well made for this price point and intended use. I liked it so much, I bought two sets, one for my wife and the other for my daughter.

HE NEEDED TOOLS, LOST ALL OF THE CRAFTSMAN TOOLS I BOUGHT HIM FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. THIS MEETS HIS NEW HOME OWNER NEEDS.

I got tired of grabbing tools from my garage kit to take to my mom's house to do repairs. I've been impressed with the Workpro tools I bought previously, so I bought this set of tools to keep in my truck permanently. Theyre solid performers, and the price to performance ratio is excellent. From my experience these tools are every bit the equal of Craftsman; a brand I've always trusted. I augmented the Workpro set with a set of Workpro SAE and Metric ratcheting wrenches, rubber mallet and a set of groove pliers. You'd be hard pressed to do better at this price. Sure you can find better quality, but you're probably going to pay alot more. If you're on the fence, I'd say get them. I dont think you'll be disappointed.
