Thanks.. just updated the link.
I just bought this last night with the credit I had. Cost me $69 all up. Already had spanner, 3/8 and 1/4 needed the 1/2.

For an extra $20 I would say the Stanley is much better value. They seem half decent quality too. I have a 1/2" set I got as a freebie in a promotion a while back.
I've used both. Stanley is much, much better.
I thought so too.. But good to hear from someone who has used both. I personally haven't used the Toolpro
Agreed. I have a mix of Stanley, Kinchrome and some Toolpro sockets.
Wanted to buy this Stanley kit http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Stanl… but they didn't have it in stock. Had 1hr to spend that credit. So kinda saved $30.I did look at the one linked with this deal, but it would mean I will then have a 3rd copy of Stanley 1/4, 3/8, spanners and the whole socket set. (Got one with the Stanley tool cabinet I grabbed sometime back with 50% off).
But yeah, Stanley is worth the money. :)
Edit:
Wait you got a whole set as freebie? How? What promotion? I should keep an eye out for these :|I bought that set last night, at ~8:30pm for $77.
Been stalking sets for months. Already got a full cabinet at home, but I need a socket set on the road.
One size (ie: 1/2") is all I need. So all those extensions etc. & socket choices is GOLD for that price.
@Utopian: The toolpro one?
Yeah for me..I just needed a 1/2 drive and those extensions, t-bar and universal joints. Money for the spanner, 1/4, 3/8 would have been a waste.Hardly any of these tool kit brands make the same quality as the ones dad owned back in the day… the tools felt nice and solid (I already use a Tool-Pro breaker bar and it has gone through some serious torture :P)
End of the day, lifetime warranty. Anything goes bad, I go back and get that replaced.
Considering all those points I thought $69 was a very good price for it.
I find ToolPro socket stuff a little loose fit. Stanley is better in terms of size and fitment.
Sold Out
I am still able to add it to cart..
Not in QLD at least according to the website. Nundah, Chermside, Windsor near me all showing as available.
Freight's only $5.50 to 4012 too so that's very cheap for a heavy set of tools.
Head office is in Lawnton 4501 :)
Are these made in the USA or other places?
My older 1/2" set is made in Taiwan and I doubt these would be made anywhere other than Taiwan/China.
Agreed. Taiwan export a crapload of machinery & metals. Have done for a while. I see their name popping-up more & more.
Seems like yesterday, an uncle bought a briefcase full of RAM (2Meg sticks IIRC) there for $16,000 cash. Shifted them EASY for double that.
Gone are the days…
Wouldn't get many sockets in a briefcase :D
Lol sounds like such a nerd version of a drug deal…
Imagine the look on their face when customs open the briefcase to find…Ram, haha
My Sidchrome set includes individual tools from all over the place including China/Taiwan & Eurpoe and as Sidchrome is brand under the 'Stanley Black & Decker' umbrella I'd say this Stanley set would be China/Taiwan for sure… not that there's anything wrong with that these days as much as it used to be a problem. The 'East' is pumping out some very high quality products now but they still also make a lot of junk too ;)
I was checking out the tools at Masters, Stanley/Kinchrome were all made in taiwan.
Equivalent individual item or set, gardening equipment too - if you have a choice of buying Taiwanese or China-origin tools, buy the 'Made in Taiwan' stuff.
Nine times out of ten (at least eight), better metal-quality, hardening and manufacturing tolerances out of Taiwanese factories.
According to this Amazon Review (third picture), it looks like they are manufactured in China now. I agree with the other comments though, made in Taiwan would have been better.
Who knows, maybe they have strict quality control. Apple products are made in China after all, and they're known for good build quality.
Which is why their new Iphone 6 Plus is so bendable :P

Damn I paid $60 just for a Stanley 1/4 set last month. Gotta stop reading ozbargain.
…..that means you must read OZBargain more often!! lol
I never thought I'd be happy that the father-in-law lost >50% of my old tools…the old tool! ;)
at least you don't have to explain to your wife why you bought new tools "AGAIN.."
I don't have a wife, so making the most of my life right now!! :D
….Andy?
Just bought a set online …..Picking up tomorrow…
me two!
I think kinchrome one is a better buy than this stanley if you don't want those extra like screwdriver bits/allen keys etc.
The Kinchrome set is more useful if you are working on cars with those Flex Handle, Extension Bars and Universal Joint 3/8” Drive.
Also most importantly kinchrome sockets are Peripheral drive providing greater torque by relocating the load to teh stronger flat sides of the nut/fastener than the conventional sockets made to the shape of the fastener and may break or "round off" edges
Also stanley sockets were upto 19mm where as kinchrome is upto 22mmBy the way I own both of them.
I use Stahlwille
I'd use them too… if I had a ton of cash.
Sweet grabbed one and the Gerni 110.2PC Pressure Washer - 1595PSI, made it free shipping.
Bought it at Preston (VIC) this afternoon for $70.00 after I noticed one of the locks is missing. They happy to give me further discount of $19.00. I wouldn't worry about the the missing lock or the case as I am going to get Mechanic Trolley Tool Cabinet soon. FYI, one left of set at Preston (VIC), so you better hurrrrry up!!
May somebody please explain how the socket set is useful? I bought standley spanner set last promotion. loving it. I have some cheap sockets from some very cheap combo set but never used them.
Instead of using a spanner inside a very tight space where you can only unscrew 1/4 of a turn or less, this socket set would make it much easier than unscrewing a tiny bit and taking it off and putting it back on.
You can continue unscrewing without taking off a spanner.
Very useful and makes this less pain in the ass.
unless you use ratchet spanners which are the best invention for extremely tight spots

But usually a ratchet will do the job just fine
Yeah, depends what you prefer and what the job is. I prefer using a socket set as you don't need to continually remove the tool from the nut/bolt to continue turning it. I do prefer using spanners for some jobs but find that I reach for the socket set more often. It's also a lot more difficult and sometimes impossible to turn nuts/bolts with heads sunk down below the surface. You'll also note that most tool cabinets have a removable tray containing the socket set so I suppose that means many others prefer sockets too.
If you need to ask then save your $89
SOLD. I guess saving for the after xmas specials will have to start next week then.
Hate it when so called 200 pieces of kit includes 50 pieces of bits that are 5 bucks.
That's always. So at least they're consistent haha.
Do they have a life time warranty?
Yes they are as I spoke to one of the salespersons.
4 metric spanners, 4 imperial. Its pretty much a socket set with various drives sizes and a heap of hex style torx bits etc. I was looking for something to leave in the boot, its not this.
I don't understand why the main kits they sell are Metric AND Imperial. I mean, research your market tool companies! We don't need Imp. If we do we can buy a side kit or something. But to make it part of the mainstream kits just puzzles me.
Are u serious. I thought its the other way around.
If you work on cars, it'll be metric. If you work on most other things, it's probably imperial. If you have a look at the bolts section at bunnings, the majority are imperial. Metric only gets a small section.
If you work on cars, it'll be metric.
That's newer/Japanese cars…older Aussie/American/European cars will be Imperial.
I highly doubt that older European cars are imperial… most of Europe has been using metric since 19th century. You probably meant UK cars.
@luka: Good catch, yep UK was what I should have said…for some reason I keep associating GB with Europe! ;)
Really? Any bolts I have bought are the M system, M6 M8 M10 etc. A quick look on the bunnings site I can only find MEtric bolts. I know that its not the whole store on the site.
@smpantsonfire: Check out the ratio of metric to imperial fasteners next time you're at Bunnings. It's not just bolts, it's also lag screws, threaded rods, toggles, and more. Have a look at the section that has unboxed bolts on display for you to choose too.
I much prefer metric as the numbers are more obvious, e.g. 6mm is larger than 5.5mm. With imperial, you have to be familiar with the figures beforehand, or do a mental calculation to know if 13/32 is larger or smaller than 3/8.
this is what is wrong with this country, no mental exercises. Calculating that 3/8 is equal to 12/32 and is smaller is part of keeping the mind sharp. Kids today…BAH!! GET OFF MY LAWN
Well, if I was 100, that would still prove my point :P
I'll be more than happy to trade my Imp sets for Metric sets for anyone reading this! :)
I finally succumbed.
Pulled the trigger after seeing all the +ve votes.
I don't know anything about cars but thought the allen keys might come in handy in assembling Ikea furniture if I lose the 1 they give you.
Also, my $10 credit expires soon. Gotta use it on something.
You bought this whole kit for the Allen keys!?
lol!
There were a few good reasons.
- One day I might need those other bits
- My $10 credit expires
- +ve votes
:)
$65.31 at Walmart in USA. Why do we pay so much here in Australia?
Awesome thanks OP!
Thanks! Bought a set for pickup
6 point sockets suck and reads cheap otherwise would have been a good kit.
Snap on make 6 point sockets. Impact sockets are 6 point. Yeah, 6 point, must be cheap and weak.
Never said they we're weaker. Cheaper yes.
6 point sockets wont slip and round off your bolt head. You obviously have no idea what your talking about
I have been wrenching for 28 years never had a bolt rounded or slip off. haha. They latch on easier and more versatile than the 6 pts. Also try using your 6pt socket on a 12 point bolt.
Mod: Foul language removed
How often you run into 12pt bolts ? Anyone that has been "wrenching for 28 years" would know that 6 point sockets are more useful if you had to pick between the two. Unless your doing head gaskets or engine rebuilds on the side of the road or are a machinist, you most likely never run into 12pt bolt heads.
Since we are pissing in the wind. ~15 years hobbyist grease monkey, builder by trade :)
6 Points for me always, bigger teeth, lots of torque, I don't have to worry about rounding off the heads. I will never use a 12pt socket on a hex bolt. I reserve the 12pt sockets for square and 12pt heads. You can never have too many tools on ozbargain :).
