It's a clearance item with plenty of stock in Sydney stores.

Really surprised by the quality and finish of the tools. Cantilever mechanism feels weak and toolbox needs to be opened and closed gently if you want to keep long-term.

1 year toolbox warranty says it all.
3 year tool warranty.

Need some space if you want to open both ends of the toolbox.

The kit includes the following:

10x 1/4 inch Drive Sockets: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13mm
6x 3/8 inch Drive Sockets: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19mm
1x 3/8 inch Drive Extension Bar: 75mm
1x 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch Adaptor
1x 1/4 inch Bit Coupler
1x 1/4 inch Drive Spinner Handle
11x 25mm drill Bits Set
21x 3/8 inch Drive Ratchet Handle Quick Release
8x Hex Keys: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6mm
6x Screwdrivers
5x Combination Wrench: 10, 13, 14, 15, 17mm
1x Crimping Tool 200mm
82x Crimping Terminals
1x Circuit Tester
4x Precision Screwdrivers
1x Utility Knife
1x Tape Measure 5m
1x Mini Hacksaw
1x Combination Pliers 150mm
1x Long Nose Plier 150mm
1x Multi-grip Plier 250mm
1x Locking Plier 175mm
1x Ball Pein Hammer 225g
1x Metal tool box

    Why did you post this!? Now I bought this and the electric set on clearance…Now I have 3 toolboxes, way too many tools living in an apartment!

    Thanks btw. I think it is a great thing to keep and will help with my DIY path I am planning to embark upon.

      Electric set?

    • 8200 on 25/10/2020 - 09:59

      SAME/SAME LOL

      When you consider the toolbox-only retails for $15 does not leave much fat for the tools cost

      I drive a VW 1.8 turbo

      It will ride with me in the vehicle :-)

      • Zephyrus on 25/10/2020 - 10:30

        Got a link to just a toolbox? That's all I actually want.

        • 8200 on 25/10/2020 - 19:08

          Might have been SCA, Repco, Ebay or even Bunnngs, not sure which now,just search a bit should be able to find similar

    • samkenny on 28/10/2020 - 10:31

      UPDATE: The deal was not honoured and refund notice received today.

    • funnysht on 25/10/2020 - 09:36

        yes, utility knife with a bonus +147 pieces. sounds like a bargain to me.

      good enough quality as you don't plan on building a house from scratch.
      Great cheap set for a non-professional that will barely use it and most likely use it for building IKEA furniture.

  • Gmetal on 25/10/2020 - 09:05

    Does anyone have recommendations for a reasonable priced + decent quality socket & spanner sets? Just casual use so cant really justify snap on etc, but was wondering what the xiaomi of tools is, something that offers good vlaue?

    • ChmpgneTasteBeerBdgt on 25/10/2020 - 09:13

      Grab a ToolPro kit from Supercheap when they are on special or on clearance. Good quality gear that comes with a lifetime warranty.

      • Banj0 on 26/10/2020 - 14:29

        +1 I have a set of Sidchrome sockets I bought new in the late 90's, so unsure if it is original Sidchrome, Proto, or Taiwanese Sidchrome. They have done a bit of work - did most of my own car work all those years ago - and have always been dependable.

        Anyway…the Toolpro stuff impresses me, and mostly feels quite comparable. Certainly a good step up from the really cheap stuff, and yet reasonably priced. Recommended.

      If you can wait for it to be on sale again then consider this:

        ^this.. I bought this exact deal and have added a few other ToolPro add ons whenever I see them on clearance. So nice having tools that don't stretch and strip nuts when the smallest amount of pressure is applied.

      STANLEY, mine gets a good solid working, and i am a bit rough of them too

      Stretch to a Bahco set, not a fortune but quality tools that you will have for many years.

    • Super64 on 25/10/2020 - 15:12

      173 piece dewalt set from Costco for $200 if you can

      • Gmetal on 26/10/2020 - 14:05

        @Super64 thanks for the recoomendation! I cant see it on the Costco website (im not a member, but was thinking of joining). Do you have any more info, such as which kit it is.

  • stbellco on 25/10/2020 - 09:11

    Have one for couple years, still going strong. Decent quality for what it’s worth.

    • placard on 25/10/2020 - 09:18

      I agree. I've been using a similar mechpro kit for 3 years or more just general car maintenance and it's fine

    I kinda wish I had an excuse to buy this. Great value but I have multiple of these tools already

    If you don't already have a tool set then get this!

  • itonez on 25/10/2020 - 10:22

    Would the tools rust when not used?

    I had a similar tool box and over time it started to rust and I never used them..

    • Bunsen on 25/10/2020 - 11:00

      If you leave them outside in the rain - Yes.

    • outlander on 25/10/2020 - 14:38

      Wipe them over with oil and they should be fine.

  • atlas on 25/10/2020 - 14:19

    Tempted but looks pretty big to store.

  • Kranbone on 25/10/2020 - 14:21

    I've got this kit (bought it for 79) and it's a great kit for the price. The only flaws is the case itself which becomes loose over time and the plastic tray is easy to damage. The tools aren't the greatest but for the value I'd highly recommend. It's a set I'd take to a wreckers or fixing stuff in the bathroom.

  • HunterxHunter9000 on 25/10/2020 - 15:25

  • parallelparadox on 25/10/2020 - 15:29
