Craftsman 20-Piece Mechanics Tool Set, $20 (was $35) on Amazon

This ratchet tool set makes an ideal starter kit or a great complement to an existing tool lineup, filling in gaps if some of your sockets have gone missing. It features everything you need to start wrenching, including a ratchet and both metric and SAE sockets. The quarter-inch drive size gives the set great versatility—it’s relatively compact, but still brawny enough for automotive work and other heavy-duty household chores. The ratchet features a low-profile head design, so it can fit into small spaces, and its 72-tooth ratchet mechanism allows for quick engagement and precise turns. Every piece wears a durable full-polish chrome finish, and the whole set comes neatly arranged in a hard plastic storage case.

Reviewers have flooded this set with positive feedback thanks to its superb build quality and the convenient storage case. "Finally replacing a Craftsman hand-me-down ratchet set my family had since the '90s—still works perfectly just missing a few sizes and the carrying case is really beat up," one shopper said. "This feels just as good and has just the essential sizes all in a nice little case that's easier to store." Another shopper agreed, simply stating it's an "amazing kit."

Even with all its parts, the set itself has a svelte size, and with its sturdy case, many reviewers kept it in a car or used it as a travel toolset. One reviewer even called it the “perfect little travel set when you don’t want to carry the whole collection.”

From assembling Ikea furniture to rebuilding a transmission, socket wrenches make all kinds of jobs (big and small) easier, and the Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set will be a welcome addition to any tool lineup. Just make sure to act fast, because this limited-time deal will disappear soon.
