Was shopping around for a new home owner's gift and found this, looks awesome! Stack with 10% GCs and 1.5% SB/CR to get it down to $44.25! 😎 Website description as follows:

  • Manufactured from heat treated carbon steel for improved strength and durability
  • Unique "Engine Design" tool box with integrated handles for easy transportation
  • High polish chrome finish tools are easy to clean and provides superb corrosion and abrasion resistance
  • Dual material soft grip tools provide comfort and increased grip

Does your toolbox blend in with everyone else's? Change your style and stand out with a ToolPRO 97 piece V8 engine toolkit! The V8 engine toolbox opens up in a rather unique way, just like a real V8 engine! Remove the rocker covers and you’ll find a selection of six metric combination spanners and 9 hex keys on one side – or combination, long nose, and cutting pliers on the other. Pop the top off the air cleaner and you have a four-piece screwdriver set.On one side of the block is a compartment to house your 3/8" and 1/2"drive ratchets along with corresponding extension bars and a universal joint. The sockets to suit are on the other side of the block. This is also home to a selection of 1/4"drive sockets and forty bits, both for use with the hand driver housed here. Inside the crankcase is a slide-out divider compartment, to house all those nick nacks and customise your kit as you see fit. The ToolPRO V8 engine toolkit will get all your mates talking.

Kit Includes:
3/8" Drive 72 Tooth ratchet
1/2" Drive 72 Tooth ratchet
1/4" Drive metric sockets: 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7 & 8mm
3/8" Drive metric sockets: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19mm
1/2" Drive metric sockets: 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 & 21mm
3/8" Drive extension bar: 75mm

        Probably explains why it's on clearance now. Looks the goods though. Haven't picked mine up yet but looks of reasonably good quality (both the blow mould tool case and tools) in the youtube video. $80-$120 is probably a more reasonable retail price tag - somewhat of a steal at $45!

  • Horrorstory on 08/06/2020 - 12:54

    If anyone picks it up, let us know if you can fit other longer tools such as a hammer which isn't included. Seems only additional compartments are on the sides with dividers which can be removed but not sure what the available length is

    • ShipShapeRC on 08/06/2020 - 16:24

      Under the red top piece is quite a long space. A small hammer might go in. It has protrusions but roughly 26 x 8 x 6cm LxWxH.

      • Horrorstory on 08/06/2020 - 16:26

        Thanks so much for checking, are you happy with the quality of the toolbox and tools? Worth a gamble at $50?

    I've also just realised that the 2 ratchets included are 72 tooth ratchets! These are fine tooth ratchets, your standard elcheapo ratchet may have 36 or 40 teeth. Fine tooth ratchets are the bees knees when working in confined spaces where you don't get a lot of room to swing the ratchet end. I have a 3/8 drive, 80 tooth snap on ratchet that could buy 3 of these toolpro engine toolkits - So all in all $45 for this kit and the two 72 teeth ratchets is a great deal (iirc toolpro is lifetime warranty too?)!

    • highon2str on 08/06/2020 - 13:28

      Their 3/8 toolpro 45 tooth ratchet, sold by itself is already $32!

    says made from heat treated carbon steel not cr-v so tools are as cheap as it gets …..maybe just buy the tools you need as cr-v and don’t worry about the plastic tool box ….

    • ShipShapeRC on 08/06/2020 - 15:17

      The bits I can read in the infomercial are cr-v. I will know when I pick mine up.

      the lack of vanadium in the alloy ….you will find most brand names user cr-v as the alloy, not just carbon ….. vanandium is most expensive than carbon but some tool ranges cheap out and omit it.

    I'm wondering if I should buy, I legit don't own any tools 🤣🤣🤣

    I probably need something like this, and some screwdriver set like some recently available but never know which.

    It feels like everyone here owns 100 sets!

    It seems like there's heaps of tool sets for sale like https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-bmc-tool-kit-117…

      SCA is lower quality than ToolPRO. The one you linked to is a nice combination, this ToolPRO deal is quality stuff, and has the extra room for you to add some extras.

    • garage sale on 08/06/2020 - 16:32
      +1

      supercheap have 2 ranges, one is their tool pro range, the other is their sca range.

      depending on your car , you might just need metric spanners and sockets, so why pay for imperial.

      just make sure they are cr-v steel not just heat treated carbon. you will find the cheaper sca is often just carbon steel and the tool pro is cr-v.

      stanley, toolpro, kinchrome, sidchrome usually make their tools from cr-v. stanley is one of the largest tool manufacturers in the world and also own sidchrome …. its the same steel. many brands come from the same foundaries. taiwan has high labour rates (higher then australia) and tool manufacturing is a huge part of their economy. so they tend to focus on value rather than cheap.

    Tools are top quality as per all comments here.

    Toolbox… It's a bit hit and miss for me. Sure the design looks cool, but some of the molds makes the tools really difficult to get out.

    The sides have spaces to fit small items with predetermined compartment spaces, but the dividers can be removed which is nice. The main divider that splits it into 2 is locked in tho
