STANLEY Mechanics Tool Set - Essential Home Repair Tools for DIYers

D. Chan: Good quality and quantity for the price. All the most commonly used tools. Appreciate the many drill bits. Box is cheap though. Pieces don’t stay in. Had to buy a tool bag.

KIRK A HILZINGER: My sister in law wanted tools of her own so I got this. She was happy at Christmas.

Amazon Customer: I have to admit that I’m a bit giddy over this purchase. I owned a similar Stanley tool kit years ago but lost it in Mexico while participating in a mission trip building homes. I looked for a very long time for a replacement but was only finding small kits with pink handled tools such as small inferior hammers, too small measuring tapes etc.
So glad to come across this treasure. I use it all the time for small repairs around the house and light construction on numerous craft projects. I like that all the tools I’ll most likely need are represented and ready to go. All I have to do is grab and go. My biggest complaint is that my family keep pilfering my kit for their use. Haha. Bought one for my oldest daughter and plan on purchasing 2 more for younger daughter and daughter-in-law now that both are first time homeowners. Highly recommend this as a gift.

A Consumer: Good basic set of tools for the house, but it does have some issues.

Bought them in 2016 & within the first 2 weeks of opening it, some of the tools began to rust. Only ever used the screwdriver & hammer at the time too (surprisingly they weren't the ones rusting). Tools were never wet & there was no moisture in the box, so not too sure how they rusted so fast - as I never even touched the other tools. I can only guess they were cheaply coated.

An easy way to clean off the rust is to let the tools soak in vinegar for a few hours or overnight (just the metal parts, not the handles), then scrub with an old toothbrush & rinse in water with baking soda. Wipe as much liquid off then let air dry. I've done this maybe twice in 3 years & it works to remove the rust.

Anyhow, another issue I had was the hammer head is a softer metal, compared to a regular hammer from the local tool store. Hammering nails on walls inside the house left dents on the hammer. I ended up buying another Stanley brand hammer from the local store which doesn't dent like the one from this set. The leveler is pretty useless too as it's not actually level at all.

Overall...

DeniseDenise: Overall, I'm happy with the Tool Kit. My one complaint is when I opened the tool kit, the hex keys were lying loose. I went to put them in their assigned spot and they just slid out. Upon closer examination, I realized the plastic loop which keeps them in place had broken off. I'm assuming during shipping?

Mikael-Ange Laurin: For the price ? This is a no brainer. Excellent set of tools, in a nice storage format.

The only tool that felt of lesser quality was the box cutter. Mine broke rather quickly, granted I wasn't particularly gentle with it. But I wasn't even upset, this is still an excellent set. Every other tool in this feels like really good quality.

Joy: Really useful toolbox with all the basics and essentials. Quality of the products is quite good, they've got a good weight to them so they don't feel super cheap. My only gripe about it is the moulding of the case doesn't always keep the tools from falling out of place so they just end up rolling around in there once I've managed to close it. Overall, definitely a good purchase!

Phil in MagnoliaPhil in Magnolia: Over the years, I've always tried to keep a small toolbox handy in the house, and I'll keep a selection of tools there for basic needs.

The problem is this - over time tools tend to get lost or dispersed around the house, at least they do if we aren't diligent in returning them to the toolbox after use. Tools end up in drawers in the kitchen or elsewhere in the house or garage or tool shed, and then when the time comes and we need a screwdriver, it's not where we think it should be.

This reasonably priced took kit is one solution to that problem. It includes most of the commonly used tools for many household needs, they all fit into the tool kit in an organized way, and since each tool has a pre-determined place, if you neglect returning the tool after use, it's immediately obvious.

I particularly like that this includes a small level, always handy especially when moving or adjusting clothes washer and dryer or other appliances.

It's not everything that I like to keep on hand - I also keep at least one  Vise-Grip Locking Pliers  handy, as well as a medium sized  Crescent Wrench  and probably also a  Channellock Plier . I've also...

P. D: I bought it 2 weeks ago. So far i am impressed with the build quality and the tool box is really convenient. No chance of losing the components. Delivery was pretty quick. Only the detachable screw driver seems a bit wobbly but overall a good deal for the price!
