I just received this set and am returning it immediately. For the price I wasn't expecting very high quality tools, but I thought that coming from Amazon there would be a minimum standard -- not the case. The quality of all of the pieces is very low, the metal has been very crudely cut, the grips are thin and poorly placed on, the exacto knife and tape measure are flimsy, and the adjustable wrench that I received doesn't work at all (the cogs on the handle and on the movable piece don't meet up).

I bought this kit in Dec'05/Jan'06 thinking it could be a kind of Christmas present to myself. I had plans to use it whenever I worked on my car and do my little rounds around the house in general. The kit seemed fine at first....I think I serviced the car once with it and used the pliers to squeeze/hold a few things. But the incident that took place this weekend has caused me to lose all hope in this kit.

I visited my Mom and she asked me to service her car so I broke out my still brand-new, kit and started. The first this that went was the adjustable wrench. I locked it on to a nut and started to try to loosen it but as I applied pressure the teeth that are supposed to hold the mouth of the wrench in place broke out and the whole thing just opened up so now I have no adjustable wrench. I thought in my mind that it was just cheap material and I would just buy a better one and replace that.

But next went the hammer. I tried to remove a nail with it and the claws bent, soon after the shaft went with it. It was almost as if the hammer was made from soldering iron. PPL might now be thinking that I must have used some thing to apply extra force but really, it was a normal wood nail in a wood shed and I was just using my bare hands (not a concrete nail....no body weight). Please ppl avoid this kit. The only reason I have not returned it as yet is because I am in another country and the shipping costs and the hassle are not worth it.

I got this tool today from Amazon. The only thing I can use in this "160" pieces is a hammer!! Most of other pieces are nothing but junks. I'll ask Amazon to return my money back for this piece of junk. Save your money and buy other reputable tools. Plier, wrench... etc are not usable at all. I don't know how they sell this kind of junk to consumers. Believe me, don't buy it.

160 piece is a hype. 160 pieces include 2 dozen nails and sundry. The pieces feel flimsy (Sure enough...made in china) but are just about functional. The hammer works great, though. Good for spot repairs, but you don't want to take your bike apart with this.

Now I know this tool set seems pretty cheap but this set is pretty bad. First off don't be fool by the 160 pieces when there are only about 50 actual tool parts in the set(you really can't count the nails). ratchet is worthless, mine even came broken. All the tools clearly very poorly made. You would be better off either putting out the cash for a nice tool set which really will only run you $90 from Home Depot plus all tools have a life time warranty or just buying the tool you need. Just stay away from this tool set.

Yes, rusty at delivery. I don't mind buying something cheap and receiving something really cheap. No complain, you get what you paid for. However,receiving brand new tools, celled in box, and having the surprise to see they'are already rusty, that's... too much for me.

This is not a good value as some of the pieces were real junk and could not be used.

After I got it, I was very disappointed. The product is poorly built. You can get a much better product with the same price range at Walmart.

This set of tools are very cheaply made.

For example, the wrenches' edges were not flat & straight, which made loosening or tightening bolts very difficult, if not strip them completely.

Also, don't be fooled by "160 pieces" claim, 104 of them are small nails, screws and picture hanging fasteners.

I would not recommend this tool set at all. Matter of fact, I have already returned mine to Amazon.com for full refund.

Inexpensive commonly-used tools in a convenient kit. Would have been nicer if the screw driver handle could also be used to drive nuts with the sockets.
