Husky Mechanics Tool Set (605-Piece)

This is the Husky 605 piece mechanics tool set (model H605MTS). The set comes packed nicely and it’s shipped on a mini-pallet (see Photo 1). Inside the outer box is an inner box, and inside that is four separate boxes containing the tools (see Photo 2). Photo 3 shows all the bags of tools spread out.This is a monster set of tools (over 100 lbs worth). It took me the better part of a day to just check that everything was there (I printed out the full list of tools from the Home Depot website””no docs come with the set). Because you can get the complete list of tools online, I’ll just mention a few items that I was particularly glad were included””items a weekend mechanic usually doesn’t have, but when you need them, you’re really glad you have them: Tamper-proof TORX sockets and bits (also a Magnetic, 9-piece Tamper Proof TORX L-Key set), SAE and Metric stubby wrenches, trailer hitch wrench (1 1/8″ and 1 1/2″), and midget SAE and Metric wrenches. My biggest complaint is that there is no differentiation (such as a color ring) between metric and SAE sockets””everything has a chrome finish with “hard stamped” markings. And the markings are difficult to read (see Photo 4). However, the screw drivers are differentiated (blue= Phillips, red= flat, see Photo 5). An attempt was made to differentiate the hex keys, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why someone thought using black and gray was a good idea (in a dark tool bag/box, it’ll be hard to tell which is which””see Photo 6). Lots of sockets today have laser etched markings to make them easy to ready””even Home Depot’s Husky brand has some sockets with etched markings. So I struggled on whether or not to take off a star for this. In the end I decided not to because you should be aware of what you’re buying before you hand over your cash. If etched markings are important to you, don’t buy this set””look for a set with etched markings.I tried many of the metric sockets and wrenches on my Subaru, and everything fit nicely onto their respective nuts/bolts. The ratchets had a smooth, positive feel. The screwdrivers felt very sturdy. I was particularly pleased with how the Phillips screwdrivers “bit” into the various screws I tried. The flat screwdrivers have textured ends that help them grip screws. Something to note is, while you do get some socket rails with the kit, no other storage is provided””everything comes in plastic bags inside a cardboard box. In addition, there are not enough socket rails for all the included sockets. Overall, I think quality of the set is excellent and it comes with Husky’s Lifetime Warranty (no receipt required).

Love the tools best value for a large set of mechanics tools

Work as expected

Should have come with more socket holders, and other things to organize the tools better

Sets came with nice sturdy cases. Both sets offer a good assortment of sizes and accessories. Good portable set or starter set for someone.

Love them being in a case. They work great

This is fantastic, it comes with almost everything you need to do your job. I was very impressed by it. I sold of my entire tool collection of name brand tool truck tools and purchased this set. I couldn’t be happier with it.

Perfect durable sockets.

It’s a great set. The only issue is that I received duplicate 9/16 ratchet wrench and no 11/16 in one set. Otherwise it’s a great set and only one you’ll ever need as far as variety and value goes. Better plan on buying two tool boxes.
