I bought this kit 2 weeks ago and have been very satisfied with it. As for the quality of the product, the fiberglass hammer, 4 different type pliers, 2 screwdrivers and bits, 6 wrenches, hex keys and bag are all high/professional quality. The utility knife is just your typical light-weight standard no frills knife but works fine. The drill bits come in steel cases and I've used both and they work fine. A 13 piece titanium drill bit set would cost you $20 at least! The pliers are all chrome vanadium which is the best material I've seen in pliers. They are definitely professional quality. The fiberglass hammer is as good as any fiberglass handled Stanley hammer that I've owned and the tape measure is as good as any Stanley one I've owned as well although it is only 16ft (25ft would have been better). The level is your typical lightweight level but it is magnetic which is great feature and works fine. The bag that this kit comes with is great. Its high quality and has enough room in it for me to add other stuff. I actually counted the pieces and there are 115 pieces that come with this kit. For $39 this is a great kit. Is every piece in this kit professional quality, no, but most are and for the price it is a significant value.

Just bought this hand tool kit and am very happy with it. My husband has one but it came in a plastic case that now doesn't hold the tools anymore and most of them are gone anyway. I can't fit any other hammers in the spot where the original hammer was so we can no longer keep them together. The bag this set came with is really nice. It also allows my husband the chance to lose most of these tools and allows me the flexibility to replace them. The hand tools and accessories that came in the case seem very nice and even professional grade. My husband said that they are even better then some of the Stanley tools he has.
I went to Lowe's and saw that just the hammer alone was $10 and most of the individual hand tools were $7-10 a piece. I think I got a great deal and my husband thinks he got great tools. Best of both worlds.

I was a little concerned about the quality of the set because of the low price, but I am very pleased. They are not top of the line, but perfect for handling small to medium jobs. Screw Driver set is a little lame but the interchangable bits can be used in drills. The drill bit sets are great. They even incluse masonry bits. I've never needed a hex key, and some of the other stuff in here, but all in all, it's a great gift for home-owners.

Please don't expect Sears craftman quality from this tool set. The tool bag is very good and the selection of tools is great. OK tool quality. As a tool kit around the home for newlyweds and college dorm it is excellent and the price is right. The hammer feels unbalanced because it has a hollow handle. The razor cutter is excellent because it is simple to open and change the blade. If I had my druthers, I would have omitted the drill bits (why did they include drill bits?) and put in a better hammer.

I bought this for a friend who got a new vacation house. He and his wife are city dwellers where the super fixes everything, so I knew they needed tools for their house. The Denali kit has very, very high quality parts in it. The hammer is heavy, the pliers and cutters are strong. The bag is a plus for them, because there is plenty of room inside for additional tools, and lots of pockets inside and out. The wife was happy they could put all their tools inside and zip it up, keeping it secure from their 1 year old.

Only improvements would be a small socket wrench that fits the supplied socket bits (the kit has a socket driver, but sometimes you need the torque of a true wrench). I also think the saw is strangely designed, but for the very light cutting it is meant for, it will work well enough.

Excellent product. It has all basic hand tools that homeowner needs. Tools are good quality tools and the bag is really good to hold everything plus there is space for more. For $32 it is an excellent value!

I was a little leary at first when ordering given the cost, but the quality of this product pleasantly surprised me. It literally has every type of bit and basic tool accessory most homeowners would ever need and the quality of the pieces is very high and heavy duty. I would recommend this product to anyone -- especially given the great price. In fact, I'm going to go use it right now to mount my Purdue flag to our back patio!

An excellent "bang for buck" set, it includes all the basic tools one would need to accomplish some common tasks in the home. The quality is better than what should be expected at this price. The kit only suffers from a few minor flaws.

The tool bag is simply a heavy duty bag in which to throw all your tools together in one place. The bag is good quality, durable but offers little in the way of organization. It is really a bag with 6 inner pockets, non of which are designed to hold any specific tool, so in the end all the pieces will lump together inside. As long as you don't add too many of your own tools in the bag, which there is ample room for, it shouldn't be difficult navigating for what you need.

The kit's 115 pieces, relies a few repetitive sets of bits. A close look at the product description will reveal that there are 2 sets of phillips drivers, one of which is called "Poszidriv" set, which are really just another set of phillips. If the Poszidriv set provides more torque and grip, why not simply include those and forget the others? Some might tell me they are for different screwdrivers, but for general around the house tasks, the average person would look at the bit set and see a world of repetition. 14 flathead bits is overkill and if you purchase the set you will understand when looking over all the bits offered. I think these bits were included to pump up a reasonable 80 piece set to 115.

The racheting handle of the screwdriver is a great feature, but when inserting the bits, there is no locking mechanism so when you pull the driver from its completed screw, the bit will stay on the bolt or screw you've just tightened. This happens on and off.

On the positive side, I agree with the other reviewers. The hammer is excellent quality, the pliers are sturdy and heavyweight. There is a good variety to open all kinds of screws so it goes beyond your average appliances. I purchased mine on a Friday sale for less than $30 so I feel it's an excellent value. Even at it's regular price of $40, I would say for a home that has no real set of tools, it is a great addition.

I wouldnt take this to the jobsite if I was a professional, but they are perfect for the general user. There are a ton of tiny bits to use witht the ratcheting scredriver base, including phillips, flat head, bolt drivers, hex drivers etc... there is also a really good set of allen wrenches (both standard and metric) and a limited number of hand wrenches. Overall the quality is good, and should stand up to the general use that this kit was designed for. Most of the tools have nice rubber grips and are easy on non calloused/non contractor hands. One of the best part about this kit, silly enough, is the bag that it comes in. Its much larger than it needs to be to hold all of the tools that it comes with, so you can expand upon this kit (I reccomend a set of screwdrivers, use the bits with a decent cordless drill). It has a ton of pockets lining the inside to hold all of your gear as well. Another good point is that it is a steel rod reinforced zipper top which stays open, making it much easier to find the tools you need in it. Another great reason to buy this kit is that its 114 tools/bits and 1 bag, unlike most other kits, which are 50% screws and nails and 50% tools.

all in all a good buy at 39.99. the bag is very rugged and has lots of little side pockets for the smaller tools and pieces that come in it. the only thing that is lacking is the lack of screwdrivers as the only one that comes with it is a multi-tool type that accepts lots of little tips, which come loose in the bag.some type of index similar to the denali 79-piece drill bit set would be good. the hammer, razor knife, drill bits, wrenches, level are all of very good quality, but being an electrician, i didnt really care for the pliers and diagonal cutters. they were of bargain basement quality and could be a little beefier and the handles which are like a dipped foam rubber grippy type substance could use some improvement. the tape measure is okay but it is only 16ft. long, which is good for around the house. but like i said it is very useful for around the house and the occasional side job. the bag is roomy and fits my cordless drill and charger, which makes it even more useful . this is a handy bag to have as a second set of tools, or for the weekend handyman.
