Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This Stanley Professional Grade Mechanics Tool Set features 96 tools forged from high-quality steel, finished in high-polish nickel or black chrome, double plated for corrosion resistance. This tool set features ergonomically designed ratchet handles with a simple thumb-operated reverse-switch mechanism, while sockets and extensions remain locked until disengaged with an easily reached quick-release button. Stanley sockets also include the Max-Drive design, which with its radius corner design provides 15 percent more torque to tighten fasteners and easily turn rounded corners. By minimizing contact on the outer 5 percent of the fastener, Max-Drive also increases the life expectancy of fasteners, as well as reduces slipping on rusted or frozen fasteners. All tools meet or exceed both ANSI and DIN standards and come in an securely latched case for easy transporting. This tool set comes fully assembled, ready to use, and is backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

Versatile, durable, and designed to accomplish tasks efficiently.

Designed to meet high standards for quality and performance. See a video for Stanley Tool Sets.

About Stanley Professional Grade Mechanics Tools
Stanley's Professional Grade Mechanics Tools offer high performance to the home-owner and "shade-tree" mechanic for use in the car, boat and home. A good quality set of mechanics tools is one of the absolute essentials for anyone who has a multitude of projects to complete, including the assembly of exercise equipment, outdoor equipment and repairs on homes, cars, and bikes.

Professional Grade Mechanics Tool Sets include socket sets used for quick removal and replacement of fasteners such as nuts, bolts and Torx fittings, often in places too tight for ordinary wrenches or where the fastener has seized and a wrench simply slips off. Stanley's Professional Grade Mechanics Tools are designed to meet the stringent standards for quality and performance set by professionals. Each tool is forged from high-quality steel providing smooth and safe edges, as well as a professional grade full-polish, smooth finish that makes the tools easy to handle, easy to clean and corrosion resistant. The patented pear-head ratchets offer a flush, quick-release button that locks and releases sockets with only one finger to keep sockets from separating from the ratchet during use. Additionally, the pear-head is equipped with a single finger reverse mechanism that smoothly switches during use enabling the user to maintain their position, even in hard to reach places. With gears designed up to 72-teeth, the ratchets require less arc swing (only 5-degrees) to engage and maneuver fasteners in tight spaces with speed and control.

All sockets in the line have Maxi-Drive technology that provides 15-percent more torque with less slippage or risk of rounding fasteners. This feature also makes it easier to turn old, rusted or worn fasteners with, rounded heads that may not fit perfectly. The combination wrenches have long, beefy shanks that deliver more torque and greater durability.

The Stanley Story

The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company located in New Britain, Connecticut; was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley. A few years later, in 1857, Frederick’s cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and would go on to become it’s famous Hand Tools Division. Over the years, The Stanley Works has produced some of the most innovative and useful tools ever made. Among these tools are the Bailey Plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape rule and most recently the FatMax line of products. Today, more than ever, Stanley continues to be an industry leader in tool innovation. In 2001, Stanley introduced more than 100 new products, bringing to 400 the number of new products introduced in the past four years. As a direct result of Stanley’s commitment to excellence, Stanley was awarded the Prestigious Golden Hammer Award, presented for New Product Innovation in both 2000 and 2001.

This review is from: Stanley 89-804 Professional Grade Mechanics Tool Set, 96-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)

I picked up the 96 peice set awhile ago. I feel that it is a perfect kit for around the home, under the car or for fixing little Johnny's bike. I can't understand why some folks seem to want to bash the Stanley line of Pro. Mechanic's tools. Stanley offers a nice basic kit for the average folk. If I were a mechanic I'd probably own Snap-On (or something of similar caliber), but I'd still have one of these sets around for the heck of it.

I like the blow molded case where all my sockets sit rightfuly in their place. Some can be a bit stubborn to remove(That's where Mr. screwdriver comes in). The sockets themselves are hardened using Cr-V (Crome Vandium) and are 12 points. The longer 3/8 sockets come in 6pts which is nice as do the 1/4in sockets.

The 1/4 & 3/8 ratchets provided are highly polished and have a fine machined quality to them. They also seem to have a higher tooth count, maybe 40, definitely not 36)

I would rate them much higher than the standard and mid-level Craftsman ratchets(but the thin profile Craftman are still much better). Also, the Stanley ratchets fit and feel very good in my hand and have a good weight to them. It's a joy using them.

This set also includes 2 open end wrenches (7/16-3/8 & 9/16-1/2) also highly polished and very strong. Two 3in. extensions are provided for each ratchet, as well as a nice screwdriver with 8 interchangable tips (Phillips and Slotted). A 5/8in spark plug socket is included for those shade-tree mechanics, as is a 9 piece SAE hex key set.

For whom it may matter to. This Stanley mechanic's set is made in Taiwan (but built to Stanley's specifications). If this is not a problem, then you have a good set of tools at your disposal.

Stanley also extends a Lifetime Warranty on their tools (as long as you know that it's a ratchet and not a chisel or hammer). All you need do is send them the defected part and they mail you back a new one. If that is too much, then you can just go to Sears (freedom of choice is a wonderful thing).

(btw- for those who might not have known. Stanley used to make ratchets for Sears Craftsman line when they were considered good)

I found the mechanic tool set to work excellent for the auto mechanic projects that I performed ( I am the furthest thing from a professional mechanic ). I probably wouldn't advise a professional mechanic to purchase this set but I'm sure they wouldn't anyway. The tool set is well made and very sturdy. The only gripe I have is that one of the locking tabs on the case broke the first time I closed it so now the case has only one locking tab ( something Stanley may want to fix it the future ). I give it five stars because for the price it's an excellent buy.
