STARWORK TRUE MECHANIC™ 260-Piece Mechanics Tool Set, Professional, SAE/Metric

love this tool set.... I run a wrecker and this has everything I need to take care of my customers without breaking the bank to buy it

This is my first complete socket set I?�ve owned. I normally used to purchase the common socket ina small pack but tend to displace them often. I often come across different vague sizes and I do not have the proper size for it. This set has everything. I love that the sockets have their individual spot in the case and do not move. I did have trouble with the Allen wrench sets as they had a hard time staying put in their respective places and kept popping out. The case is heavy and it is big. All the tools and sockets are durable and made with chrome vanadium steel. The chrome is rust resistant and does not corrode. I like the different sized ratcheting wrenches. They give a nice satisfying click and work well. The socket sizes are etched on the sockets themselves and also on the molded case. This is easy to help you pick and find the needed socket as well as to put them back. This kit is worth its value and it has served me well so far.

The 303pc version of this socket set includes everything I typically need for backyard repairs; having wrenches with ratcheting ends is a huge improvement over my previous ratchet & socket only set. The tools themselves feel more refined and well-built than my Stanley sets.Having two driver handles (one dedicated for bits, the other for ¼??sockets) is much more convenient than a single handle and having to use an adapter for the bits. Allen keys in the set will also come in handy.The case does a good job making individual items removable; this means that the pieces don?�t fit in quite as tightly as on my Stanley kits. As a result, almost every piece fell out when I first opened the kit. After properly securing everything in place, there is no movement when carrying the case around. Annoyingly, the mini wrenches come in a bag which sits below the ratchet handles; a proper plastic pocket would be much better.My only other complaints are related to size markings - markings on the sides of the sockets are difficult to read in normal lighting conditions and almost impossible in the dark ??darker labels printed on the sockets would make a big improvement. Similarly, markings on the case are black (the same colour as the case) and slightly offset from the sockets, making finding a known size of socket a little more difficult than it would otherwise be.Although this set is a little more expensive than sale-priced Stanly ~170pc sets, I think it is worth the extra money for the convenience of having ratcheting wrenches, Allen keys, a dedicated bit driver handle, and nicer ratchets.

I moved into my apartment years ago, and I always had to borrow tools. This tool kit is more than enough for a new home owner, with most of the common tools avaliable in this kit. Not much to complain about, especially comparing it to kits found at big box stores, however, I do have some minor concerns, taking one star off.They minor but something to consider when purchasing this compared to big box stores, some of which may offer exchange/return and lifetime warranty with proof of purchase. They are:Case is really cheap plastic. Over time, the locking tabs and the hinges may break, especially due to constant usage and temperature changes.The grips of some of the tools are really cheaply made, its grippy but not as good as proper rubber/silicon grips.Fit and finish for metal pieces seem lacking, brand new set already has some scuffs and scratches on the shinier pieces. Not a big deal but quality assurance might be lacking.Overall, this set is good enough as an entry level kit.

I'm impressed with this toolset. I own another kit from a homedepot brand and in comparison the build quality of this set is much higher, another observation is this set is heavier in weight than sets of similar number of pieces. The finish on the pieces is beautiful. There are a massive amount of options in SAE and metrics wrenches and sockets in a convenient layout. The case is very sturdy.Just finished a small project using the wrenches and drivers and the tools do exactly what I'd expect them to do. Looking forward to getting more things done with this kit.
