HUSKY 268 PIECE MECHANIC’S TOOL SET – REVIEW

I have owned a Husky 268-piece tool set for over three years now. This one has an upgraded case. Being that I own two now, I will place one in my work truck and the other will be in my shop. This Husky 268-piece mechanic tool set includes 1/4in, 3/8in, and 1/2in. drive sockets. They come in Standard and Metric units.

My Thoughts On Case

As I mentioned before, I’ve had one for quite some time now. The older case had a few flaws with it, for example, the clips on the side broke within a few months of use. On the older model, the top half of the toolbox was detachable, now it’s on a hinge, and I like this design more. One complaint with the lid and maybe it’s just my rough handling is if it slams too hard some of the wrenches will fall out of their place.

I wish the case had room for additional hand tools. Since all 268 pieces have their allocated location, there isn’t space for extra tools.

Overall, there are a ton of tools in this set. The list price on this set is $199 for 268 pieces. 

(15-Piece) Screwdriver Set

To go along with the mechanical tool set, I also have this 15 piece screwdriver set. This set has just about every screwdriver you need, which includes 8 slotted screwdrivers and 7 Phillips screwdrivers. The handles are uniquely made with a dual material design to eliminate slippage. They’re also designed to be chemical resistant constructed with nickel and a Chrome plated blade. Backed with a lifetime warranty with no questions and no receipt required. I think these are worth checking out 15 piece Screwdriver set.
