I bought 2 sets at $19.98 and ended up returning them both. The ratchet is nearly impossible to get out of the case, and the screwdriver handle isn't much easier. The ratchets in both of mine were very poor quality and they both would switch directions while in use. I know it's now only $10 ( I'm actually tempted to try my luck again) but I would set your expectations appropriately.

I took it apart and these ratchets are not lubricated. What you need to do is to buy superlube. Take apart the gearing mechanism, elongate the little spring, and lubricate all the gears. It works fine once it's put back together. I know it's a hassle, but I actually do this to my gear wrench tools also.

OK guys. I thought the comments about how hard it is to get the ratchet out maybe were insane, but I just got mine and it's true -- it's a huge pain to get it out!

However once you do get it out the first time, I find that if you replace the ratchet 'upside-down' -- i.e. with the anvil up/facing you, you can then 'swipe' the anvil to the side with your thumb and the ratchet will pop out of the clips. Then you can just lift it out.

You're welcome....

Won't help with the sockets but I suppose you might be able to crank most of them (all but the tiniest) to the side with the spinner tip and pop those out.

In mine, most of them can be pulled with a good finger pinch. With the others I can generally move the surrounding one(s) out of the way to get a better grip, or lever it a bit with the spinner.

I bought this set late last year. Its a nice set but you need needle nose pliers to get the sockets out as they are inserted really tight in the case.

10 bucks is a damn nice deal. You can also mod it to fit in a ICON set https://www.reddit.com/r/harborfr...t_set_and/

Wrecking the nice icon case and removing the screwdriver from the kobalt kit to replace it with basically the same bits that are already in the kobalt kit? That definitely sounds like a useless reddit bandwagon hack...lol!

And yes, i have the icon and would never do this. plain stupid!

Quote from strycker

I'm not talking about replacing the muffler if it falls off. I'm talking dashboard parts, lights, hose clamps, etc. no, this isn't a Snap-On mechanics vault of tools. Just to get to cabin air filters and such, I'd hate to go dig out a huge toolset. For $10, it's nice to have on hand.

Who's changing air filters on the side of the road? Never had an air filter emergency before.

This wrench is fine for that stuff , but it's not the emergency wrench you leave in the car. Not about price, you can get a good one cheap. This is a bad one cheap.

FYI, if you don't need the bits and want deep sockets, the other 55 piece kit dropped to $20:
