"I was truly impressed to receive my two great purchases from Northern. I had contemplated buying a mechanics tool set to store in my truck for emergencies, along with a combination wrench set to complement my other tools. I visited several well-known tool supply stores in my local area where I examined hand tools in the described categories. Not only were the tool sets and wrenches inferior to the quality of the Northern products, they were also considerably more expensive. With the cost savings, I intend to buy more Northern tools to add to my growing collection.Their merchandise is high quality, and the value is outstanding as well. Buy Northern, and you won't be disappointed."

Great tools at a great price,
November 2, 2009
By CowwFace
from Colorado
"I got this to fill all the "gap's" in my tools I've managed to cause over the past 10 years. I used them to drop and re-install a transmission in a Rx300 and they performed great.
The sockeds are all six sided, and I have to admit I was not thrilled with that at first, but after using them more I have not even come close to rounding off anything. The extentions have a bit of a wobble built in as well, and that came in handy.
The ratchets are a bit stiff at first, but have loosened up nicely. Overall I would recommend this kit."

construction worker,

"I bought this set to have in my car, within a week it made it to my work truck. The quality of the ratchets and sockets is outstanding. The wrenches are not as pollished as the others but still work fine, and I'm not afraid to torque on them in a tight spot. I ended up ordering two more sets for coworkers. For this price don't hesitate."

Lots of Tools, Little Price,
November 19, 2008
By ahatcher
from Dallas, TX
"I have been using this tool set for over 3 years in some very tough conditions -- I carry it with me in my Jeep Wrangler on some very challenging off road trips. When you break down in the middle of nowhere you must make repairs no matter what. This can lead to some -- dare I say it? -- tool ABUSE. Not one item in this set has ever failed me.
I have only one tiny complaint: one of the plastic latches broke on the very low profile tool box that came with my set. Not surprising as rough as I treat the kit and box. So I bought a cheap canvas bag and tossed all the tools in there. I never leave home without them."

Socket set,
November 18, 2008
By Backhoemom
from Alaska
"I love this set!!
It is very well made, I have had it for over a year and had no problems with it, I even bought my husband one so he would stop borrowing mine.
The only things that would make it better would be; if they put in some regular screwdrivers in addition to the bit set, and some pliers or vice grips."

Good Quality Tools-Would like better case,
April 22, 2008
By jbeely
from Fountaintown, IN
"I am a long time Northern Tool customer buying everything from welder/generators, plasma cutters, and automotive tools. I live on a farm and needed a good extra portable mechanic set. I like the quality of the tools but the case seems flimsy and not as thick as a Huskee set I already have. On top of that, one of the plastic hinges was broken/bent on arrival and likes to come loose. It holds together fine when closed and latched. Would still recommend the tools for the value you get over other brands."

Awesome Bang for Buck,
October 30, 2007
By Scutch17
from Oceanside, NY
"Bought this as my first full socket set. My father was always a Craftsman/Snap on guy, but doing price comparison, this set is a much better value. Even my father was impressed at the quality. I think he will think twice about over spending on Craftsman and look to Northern first.... I know i will."

Good basic tool kit for your garage,
October 29, 2007
By Mel94611
from Oakland, CA
"I bought this tool kit as a XMass present for my husband last year. He used it right away on one of his older cars & was very happy with it. Overall he's used it for repairing bikes, cars, furniture- you name it!
It seems to me that it's a pretty good basic kit- an "old stand by" for tooling around your garage & home. He uses it frequently.
It also comes in a neat storage case which slides in/on your basic shelving without taking up much room. Which I like quite a bit!"

could be better,
July 9, 2007
By roadrunner
from Seligman, MO. I run an excavation business
"The sockets and ratchets are good, the individual holder for the screwdriver bits is realy nice. My complaints---The tool box has bad hinges and it will come apart in this area I drilled mine out and ran a welding rod through them and bent it over at the ends. The hand wrenches have done the job but if you plan on abusing them keep in mind they can be sprung at the open end. when you pull out one hand wrench the others fall all over the place and make it difficult to put back in the plastic box. All the other tools have stayed in place, once put back in the box. the trifold case makes it nice for storage behind the seat of my trucks. If you are like me and most of your tools seem to be left at the job sight the quality verses price make this a nice set too purchase."

excellent value,
May 9, 2007
By AMkrew
from CA
"VERY GOOD real tool set. Not like the craftsman sets where you get 40-50 tools you will never need/use. Ratchets are great, sockets are of high quality; they replaced craftsman sockets, and the quality is no less. The wrenches leave a little to be desired, but they work just fine. This set includes 12 point sockets, which, you'll never get from ANYWHERE for this price. Also includes a U-joint, and extensions. I'd buy this again, any day of the week.

Recommended to several friends,
March 6, 2007
By 3DDJ
from Buena Vista, CO.
"I was looking for a good socket set, that had a variety of sockets (6point, 12 point, deep), a few wrenches and some extensions. I looked everywhere comparing tool sets. I found a lot of sets out there that would advertising "350 pc's for $120.00" YA RIGHT! When it came down to it, there were about 50 tool pc's and 300 connectors and wire ties! The Northern Tool Set was exactly what I was looking for. Plus the blowmolded case actually holds the tools in place and is very compact. For the price...This set can't be beat!! And to think of all the money I spent in the past with Snap-On and Mac. I'm sure to check Northern Tool FIRST, from here on out.
Thank You
