Direct me to an awesome tool set

[UteStar]

I am looking for a good quality home tool set. I can find those little dinky sets for $15...but I want one that will last a while. One that would be good for minor repairs in the home. I would be willing to spend a hundred or two on one if it is good quality. Any thoughts?

I hear there's a huge set of tools over at Utefans.net.

Check out the tool sets at Costco. Good quality and very good pricing.

I recommend this craftsman tool set. you can get it online at sears.com

It has 1470 pieces and only costs $8,649.

It should have most of what you need to fix your garage door.

Talk to Jeff Spicoli, he has access to the ultimate set.

Interesting. I may wait for it to drop to $8K. I put it on price alert. Thanks for the lead.

If you want good tools it's going to cost you a minimum of a few hundred bucks. I wouldn't trust most of the home kits out there. I'd rather piece my own kit together to be honest. But if you don't use your tools much you'd do fine with a Stanley, Husky (Home Depot), Kobalt (Lowes), or Craftsman kit.

I agree. I would go buy az top quality set of screwdrivers, and a good set of ratcheting box wrenches and maybe a decent socket wrench set, in adidtion to a few other odds and ends (measuring tape, midsize level, pliers, needle nose pliers, etc.). Beyond that I would buy tools as you need them. And always buy quality. Over the years you will find that you have acquired a good set of working tools.

Both very good ideas. Thanks.

If it was another poster I would be disappointed, but since it's Utestar I'm not surprised. I gave you gold Jerry, comedy gold.

Yup. Hammer, screwdriver set, socket and wrench set, pliers, measuring tape, level are pretty much all essential. I'd probably add a some hand tools also like a cordless drill.

The brands I listed all have lifetime warranties. They're mid-priced and reasonably good quality.

One thing I love about having home projects to work on is the opportunity to buy new tools. Sadly not having a home to work on and being out of work last year forced me to sell some of my tools including this:

This may work for you:

Have that one...but the tools were not high quality. The case worked well, the tools broke down. Thanks though.

Now go buy a Dremel, file out the inside of the case and use it as your iPad scripture tote.
