5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value for Beginning Mechanic or Home Hobbiest, December 1, 2007

This review is from: SK 86038B Senior Mechanics Tool Set - 480 Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is an excellent starting kit for someone wanting to do mechanical work but starting from nothing. SK tools are generally considered to be a couple of steps up in terms of quality from the Sears / Home Depot / Lowes box store brands, and light years ahead of the cheap Chinese specials. In many instances S-K tools compare very favorably to the top truck brands like Snap-On, Matco, Cornwell, or Mac Tools. For example I have sockets from ALL of these brands - and honestly - I prefer my S-K sockets overall. I can not say every SK tool I have picked up is my personal favorite when compared to every other brand - but - I CAN say that every S-K tool I have picked up compares quite favorably in terms of quality, construction, fit and finish to any other brand. These are tools meant to last a lifetime and provide service for years and years. If you are just starting out - this is a good place to begin.

No, these aren't made of solid silver, but unlike some import cars they will last lifetime. Good quality doesn't come cheap. Want cheap, buy Craftsman (made in southeast Asia) or China made. Don't cry though when they break quickly or turn ugly and rusty. Not a bad price when compared to Snap-On, etc.
