Allied 59096 131-Piece Automotive Tool Set

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This is a great set for the mechanic--and the aspiring mechanic. Chrome-plated carbon-steel SAE and metric wrenches for every automotive job, coupled with 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch drive sockets would make any grease monkey happy. We're glad to see that Allied has accommodated our silent but frequent wish: Can't somebody include a handful of cable ties in one of these kits? They're conveniently tucked into the rugged case along with a mallet, wire brush, wire stripper, pliers, and electrical tape. This is a nice, tight collection for a tiny price. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Let's not beat around the bush: This is a set of cheap
tools. These are not the tools your mechanic uses. These
are not even the tools you would use regularly if you work
on your own car (or house). However, as a set of convenience
tools--that is, tools you have stashed away somewhere
for quick access when you are too rushed or lazy to dig out
the good ones--this set can't be bettered at the price. This
is NOT a tool set for heavy use. But it's perfect as
an emergency set in your trunk, or a second set around the house,
or a starter set for your kids...

This tool set features a nice assortment of tools, from
wrenchs to screwdrivers to pliers to sockets and more. 131 pieces
for about the price you'd pay for a single high quality set of
pliers at Sears or from SnapOn or Mack. That tells you
something inescapable about the quality, but there are times
when it's OK to skimp on quality...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tool Kit For The Price!, October 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Allied 59096 131-Piece Automotive Tool Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a great tool set for the price. It is not designed for the repair shop mechanic in an everyday use situation, but is great for the casual user. The Companion line at Sears gives you much less for a lot more money. If you plan to use tools everyday at a repair shop, buy something with a lifetime guarantee like the Craftsman line.

5.0 out of 5 stars It comes with a rubber mallet!, November 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Allied 59096 131-Piece Automotive Tool Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

Besides the fact that several of the sockets and other tools manage to easily work themselves free from their holders, this tool set is a definite must for its value. Perfect for casual car/home maintenance. This is not a heavy duty auto repair kit, but I know it will come in handy.
