Heck, it's not a serious tool set, but it is a good all-in-one need-something-for-the-apartment set. The downfall of all the tool-sets is that if you break a tool or lose a tool, you can't find a replacement to fit in the exact blow-molded spot.
HINT: buy the tool set and then go to your local hardware store and pick up a cheap toolbox to store the tools in. This way, you will be able to augment, change, replace your tools over time without behind stuck with the cheasy case.

I got this so I would have a basic tool set for my apartment. It does the job for occasional fix-ups, but you probably will want to upgrade if you need tools for major projects.

I've had this set for a few years now, but I haven't used all the tools yet; here are the ones I have though:
*Hammer: It's sturdy and got a good weight on it: I don't doubt this hammer will last for years to come.
*Screwdriver with two bits: It comes with a soft grip handle and a hollow pole that inserts into the handle; you insert the bit of your choosing into the pole. It comes with a Phillips head bit in two sizes, and a flat head bit in two sizes. I have been able to use this screwdriver for some basic projects, but the bits don't always fit smaller screws.
*Box cutter: It's a cheaply-made box cutter; the blade has broken on me a couple of times. Fortunately, the metal of the blade is scored, so when it broke, it was along the diagonally line, so the box cutter was still usable.
*Level: It does the job, but if you drop it, it breaks; the plastic cover comes off, but the little liquid "capsules" are still intact. I would reassemble the level, but it kept falling apart, so I just tossed it.

It's a good starter set at a reasonable price.

It had everything I needed. I reccommend it.
