Love my crescent set
Just touched a crescent wrench today, super super bulky head. Wasn’t a fan.
While I agree that the "filler" is not exciting but if you have a kid that’s moving out and you want to send them out into the world with a tool set they are gonna need those screw driver bits, Allen keys, and whatever, I personally don’t feel these are a great truck box tool kit and if it’s for my use I would rather piece it together myself.
@harbor freight You should put out the Pittsburgh 301 tool kit all impact tool kit like you have the chrome version!
great video Jeff KEEP THEM COMING!!
The tool kit you keep in the pantry so you don’t have to go out in the garage.
Gage?
I got a craftsmen one 3/8 ratchet set and the ratchet keeps locking in place
Calm down dude lol
The 180 piece cresent set on your video says $94 not $181 as you stated. The apollo was more money. Not sure why you went with that one.
Update… the Craftsman Versastack is 119.00 as of today.
Take a look at the 324 piece job smart kit from TSC
I need one to keep on my truck just in case.
Thumbs up and subscribed!
Where is the bear?!?
I need to quit being lazy and just build a kit for the wife’s truck I have so many tools I like the idea of just paying $100 bucks for the kit but I know what’ tools specific for the truck that it’s lacking and it’s lacking a lot! Atleast for f350
Stanley set doesn’t say anything about it being impact. They are just black
I think you should really bring out your good experience out. This is not the best. That’s not the best. We are more confused then before the video. We are here for your professional opinion. It may cost a little bit more but we know it’s the best tool set that we would invest.
Looking at this now that husky set 270 is $180
You said Great as emergency kit and lender kits ? Are they great at doing what there suppose to do ? For myself on a daily not to use once in a blue moon as an emergency lmao
I have the Crescent CTK170. I’m very happy with it! I only replaced the non-magnetic spark plug socket with a proper magnetic socket so that my spark plugs don’t fall out. Any extra tools I need to work on my car not included in this kit is kept in a separate toolbox. These are items such as three ratcheted wrenches, one thin wrench for the rear brakes, oil filter socket, U-joints, longer extensions, an assortment of picks, and wire cutters.
I’m disappointed with the downsizing of the Crescent CTK180 kit. The half-inch socket wrench I have in my kit gets heavy usage! I would be lost without it.
Craftsman Red Box with tools currently $89.00 "order online".
Mr Bear, why have 6pt or 12pt, please?
I bought my niece a 257 piece Kobalt 2 drawer kit when she moved into her new house. I liked it because it was more of a homeowner kit with a hammer, level, tape measure, and the rest of the essentials. It was $99 on Black Friday and I got it for the reason it was an actual cube. I was afraid with a briefcase style she could slide it under things or behind things and have it get lost. The cube style made it nice for her to sit in its own spot on a shelf in her closet and it’s always accessible. Kits like these are extremely nice for people that don’t really work on things because it’s a piece of mind for the dads/uncles that do work on things that they have tools ready to go when we get there to fix things.
Stupid way of reviewing anything. We can also go through the website. Why should anyone watch this video?
I can’t stand those "fiddly-bits."
The Stanley 201 fluctuates, I got one for my brother to keep in the trunk a while back for 69.99 on Amazon. It lacks wrenches but has a decent 3/8 socket selection. I have the Dewalt Toughsystem set in one of the work trucks and it has an excellent socket and ratchet assortment. It also lacks wrenches and I had to go through Hell finding Dewalt wrench sets that went above 11/16 or 15mm to go in the top. I added those and some pliers and it works out great, heavy and durable. The Gearwrench set is by far the best, the Ratcheting Wrench set doesn’t skip sizes and when you wait until after Christmas, it makes everything else in the box gravy as they go for about $169.00. I grabbed the $99 ratchet set they had also. You can get just about any minor to moderate job done in the drive way with this one. Best bang for the buck is probably the 290 piece Husky.
I hate all these boxes, there’s no room to add odd tools you collect along the way .. They all should come with extra storage
thoughts on the 301 piece Harbor Freight kit? isn’t it kind of hard to beat for $199?
10+ years ago I got a very budget set from big lots that is VERY much like the applo set. There not great but years later I still have it and use it. It has kept saws cutting and trucks moving.
Milwaukee is “decent” he says
The craftsman boxes are on sale for almost 50% off etc at Lowe’s ridiculous great bf or anyone starting out
I have the husky box absolutely worth the money ! Perfect for truck take along box. Only negative I have to say .. I wish the drawer’s had a snap lock or something .. otherwise great bargain
Excellent video. I purchased the Sam’s Club Channel lock set 18 years ago or so back when they included regular wrenches. INCREDIBLE value. Over time pieces (as you say) went our for milk and never came home. I just ordered the same set on Ebay for $79.00 total shipped after taxes. The inclusion of ratcheting wrenches is a definite bonus. Anyone would be hard pressed to find a better option at that price especially for a truck box.
I used the harbor freight 30$ home owners set to do a motor swap. Granted i used a pry bar and a few other sockets that wernt in the kit. But other than that, i was surprised how far the kit got me.
Husky has a great 290 piece in eva trays for a great deal and no one has reviewed it and a it’s a great deal you should check it out
whoa whoa whoa…wait…you’re not actually a bear?
Husky red and black box 230+pc set simply because you can apply for homedepot credit card and get 20 off making 79bucks…
Never
Husky’s boxes, specifically their garbage plastic latches, fall apart within weeks, which makes the box worthless. Stay away.
I have quite the collection of mixed branded tools. Brother in law gave me a red metal Stanley toolbox with a ratchet set. Has a top box and 2 drawers. Easily the most convenient to grab and go for some work on your own car. Just load it up with the extras your car needs you dont usually have in there.
I have a coupleofthe Kobalt bagged tool kit in the truck,Easiy toadd extras over time.
Milwaukee blows dewalt outta the water
It’s always the 10mm lol
I have the Cresent set like the Apollo one you have, the only tool not badged Cresent is the adjustable wrench go figure. Makes sense now, nice set though was a good upgrade from the no-name I had.
I have the channel lock set from Sam’s Club. I also have the Crescent set from Amazon that has 3 ratchets. I got them for both good deals a few years ago. The crescent wrench set the Alan set tend to fall out it gets kind of annoying sometimes. The Box on the Crescent set has started to break a little bit. My channel lock set I used today at to get bolts off of a semi exhaust they worked great. Definitely not fancy tools but they get the job done. My favorite though is the Crescent set as far as tool Quality.
we do not call them tongue and groove……. we call them slip joint pliers
The best for money is the tractor supply job smart 324 piece mechanics tool set that Regularly on sale $89. It has a rolling box that has multiple ways carry or roll. Has storage bags to add more tools you need carry. Has the most sockets and deep sockets, and 20 piece combo spanner wrenches. It’s normal $129, but goes on sale $89 to $99
Yo
BEST DEAL??? 364-Piece tool set AND BAG FOR $89.99!!! Great DEALS for tools at this store! https://youtu.be/VST6fE7buOI
