Ain’t gonna happen they’re paying pennies vs dollars, we can scream made in USA all we want it. Sad as husky has gone downhill half usable half trash, the sockets of late rust almost immediately
I have practically worn my wobble extensions out. There are so many times when you just can't get a socket/extension into a bolt straight. Seems like something is always in the way. I use my universal joint adapters a lot, but it's easier to just use my (Snap -On) wobble extensions when all you need a is couple of degrees offset. Yup - I've had 'em for decades and I agree with your statement.
I've had the 200 piece Husky mechanics tool box set for a few years now, and it has been great. Never had any issues, and it was only $65 back then. Great review of the Husky product line guys! #workshopaddict
I been using husky tools since 1968. I never had a problem with husky tools. I gave my husky tools to my son so he had something to work with. Husky tools are affordable and quality tools.
I bought this set for me and two other mechanics, we work on heavy equipment constantly, we've warranties 3 tools between us in 3 years. Home Depot is everywhere so warranty is easy and no questions asked. The set in lacking in a few minor things but not by too much.
It's funny how you say the ratchets remind you of Gearwrench ratchets...because all the Husky wrenches/ratchets and sockets are made by Apex so they basically are Gearwrench. This set made by Apex. The wobbles should be able to be pushed on to set it deeper in the socket and work like a standard extension. Great review and set breakdown. I wish they stopped doing 12 point sockets for store brands in the larger sizes. Kobalt does the same thing, at a certain size you can only get 12 point. #WorkshoAddict
I bought a Craftsman kit which was similar 32 years ago. I am still using a majority of these tools today. They even survived a house fire i had 20 years ago
Nice review. I like the wobble extensions myself, though I do have both. I also like the locking extension. Working on cars it usually makes it to the ground, or isn't too tough to get at, but losing a socket in the bottom of the boat is a whole different story. Losing a stainless fastener is even more fun, because they're not magnetic!
I agree. Had the 1/2" been 6 point, this kit would be damn near perfect as a starter set. Northern tool has a starter kit that has less pieces, but everything is 6 point. Bostitch also had a really complete starter set, but they stopped selling them. I think overall this set is awesome and are a great value.
@@chucky187 no shit, luxury cars are just over priced versions of their other brands. It's not always just performance, literally most "luxury" have a nicer interior, extra electrical shit no one needs, and a badge. That's all, just slap $20,000 more on it. I don't use cheap china crap. I use snap on and mat co tools
Soooo I see all my coworkers use snap on sockets but seems it never breaks so gets so worn out its not the right size anymore so strips bolts ...I am just trying to find a happy medium lol
Used to be a Craftsman only type, now that Sears is barely around and disappearing fast I've switched to Husky. Some of the 100 tooth ratchets were a good price and work so much better than the old 36 tooth stuff.
I bought the 1025 master kit that basically includes almost everything. It replaced a 20 year old craftsman set along with various other small socket/wrench sets Ive purchased (mostly from Harbor Freight)over the years as I lost pieces of the craftsman kit. Husky tools are made by Apex Tools which also makes gear wrench. Quite a few tools in the kit seem to be exactly the same as gear wrench. My father called and spoke to Apex and they told him they make tools for lots of different companies and they are all mostly the same. I havent had to warranty anything but was missing 2 tools in the kit. I called customer service and with no hassle, no receipt and basically the only questions were, name address and verified the parts, had them shipped out to me. To me the tools are every bit as good as my USA craftman stuff. I replaced the engine in my car after buying the kit and had every tool needed to do the job and didnt strip any bolts. I used tools I never knew I needed such as the flex head ratcheting wrench, and flex head ratchet. I used the 24" breaker bar to spin the seized engine so I could remove the flex plate bolts from the torque convertor. All the sockets and wrenches gripped bolt heads tightly without alot of play. Never busted my knuckles due to slipping. The impact sockets held up well. I used them on my Milwaukee 2967 High torque. I highly recommend the husky tools and it seems like dealing with Apex for warranty will be easy if you cant get replacement straight from Home depot.
Not bad, really. I have the normal torx socket set and really like it. I was surprised by the finish and the chamfered bits do make fitting on fasteners easier. I would have preferred USA Craftsman, but these were more readily available and the warranty is good, especially for $15. No complaints yet. Great review, guys. #workshopaddict
Wobble extensions, love mine, but not suitable for every application, have sets of both on hand. The tools, I have a bag of Husky tools on my truck, they work just as good as a pile of Snap On. My truck does not care what brand tools I use on her and neither do my customers, as long as I show up on time to pickup or deliver the load. GearWrench is what I have in the garage, love their 120 tooth XP ratchets, along with their 84 tooth. The flex head ratchets are the BOMB, especially in tight spaces. I keep those at the house, for when we need to really do some wrenching, wrenching not suitable on the side of the road, where hopefully we will never find ourselves. knock on wood. Like the video, good job.
Craftsman is now at Lowes.. So i guess its still good. I asked the guy there if i would be able to warranty my Sears stuff there. He said that as long as it says "Lifetime Warranty" on the tool, it is warrantied. Basically all hand tools. All the new Craftsman stuff is being made in Taiwan, so thats an upgrade. I guess its time to start breaking some tools.
I just ordered their 944 piece set. It was already on sale for $1,394 which is a 24% discount. I also have a 10% Military discount, as well as I saved up a bunch of Pro-Xtra points, so I got an additional $490 off. As soon as it gets here, I'll make a video and we'll see how the two sets compare.
I totally understand the brand change. I swapped my Craftsman 4 years ago to duralast. Sears was too far away and I got the kit on Black Friday sale. I haven't looked back. Tip: don't get the general sets. Either get the big kit, or the socket only sets and piece together.
Great review, thanks! I will be buying this tool set. Any chance have the list of all of the organizer trays that you needed from Westling Machine for this tool kit? Thanks
It will be interesting to see what happens to Craftsman in the future now that they are owned by Stanley. Stanley is sold pretty much everywhere. Who knows, maybe 5 years from now, Craftsman will be Home Depot.
I was looking at this set, found this review, and wanted to say thank you. I liked the early breakdown of how many of each type sockets. It makes it easy to get a feel for what's in the main component of any "mechanics tool set". New to your channel and wondering if you ever do long term updates? I'd be curious to know how the set has held up after nearly a year. I've never owned any Husky sockets, but I've never had any problems with the ones I've used owned by others. And I've used those enough to know I absolutely hate their ratchet handles. They were smooth and seemed plenty strong, but they just felt awful in the hand and if you get oil on them, that "tapered with a nub" slips right out of your grip making you have to put all the force on the nub with the pinky which can end up being painful after enough use. Worth mentioning, the small stuff you said you don't need 50, 60, and so on of in a set like this, makes up 123 pieces of "filler" or about 28% of the set if you include the allen keys, bits, midget wrenches, and nutsetters. That jumps up to 165 pieces or 38% of the entire set if you include the "drive bit" sockets (torx and allen/hex sockets) which always seem out of place in a set like this to me.
This seems like a great starter set. I still live at home so I have been using my dad's tools but when I move out I will definitely pick up this set just so I have some tools of my own
Looks like a great kit. I myself avoid such kits because they have fillers. Another way to avoid fillers is to buy different kits. It may run a little more in costs but less fillers. Husky has a 200 socket kit for $199.00. 1/4, 3/8, 1/2. Not much is missing. Then a 5 rachet set for $49.00 1/4, 3/8, 1/2. For full a full wrench kit for $99.00 up to 1-1/2. Missing 1-3/16. Metric is the same. The nice thing is you don't have to buy kits all at once. I don't like screwdriver type bits that must be swapped out.
My small town still has our sears and I can still warranty my craftsman stuff but the Chinese crap seems real low quality so I usually exchange it for another brand as well as our ace hardware has a section of just craftsman but I go to sears mainly for their sales on gearwrench tools and craftsman USA pry bars
WorkshopAddict I do too I grew up on craftsman tools and they dropped in quality and still charging the made in USA price. Husky also has some Taiwan made tools so if you prefer Taiwan made over China the ratchets are made in both just look on their packages to see where its made
Tekton has a lifetime warranty, you take a pic of your damaged tool and they send a new one! And btw I mostly just built up a kit that is all impact sockets, are those fine to do your entire vehicle job with as a home diy'er? If they can take the force of an impact they should be fine just throwing a ratchet on and wrenching them right?
thanks for actually listing all the sizes. watched quite a few videos and no one listed much of anything. their site also didn't give a full list. i don't really need more tools but seems like a nice set so i'm sold i really like those holders you have. is there any chance you could give a list of which ones you have and how many of them? thinking about ordering some and would like to make sure i get enough to hold everything in that set. also if it's not asking too much i'd love to know how tall the it sits with the biggest deep socket. wondering if it's fit in my drawers or not
I prefer Tekton, it is good quality with lifetime replacement and no questions asked. No mixing up of tools when friends and neighbors borrow tools and don't remember to return them. Tekton stands out from Snap-on and craftsmen, hard to mix up and loose.
Most of stuff is decent specially for ur avg homeowner. I do hate there lobster claw wrenches the most though, terrible fit in tight spots and wrench wants to slip with high torque other than that it's a nice set.
Nice set, husky hand tools are descent. I've always preferred craftsman but everyone knows there quality just isn't the same anymore, hopefully they'll get back now that there with stanley black and decker. Few husky tools I got are great, never had a problem. #workshopaddict
No hassle warranty just go in give them the broken tool and you get a new one but im not a fan of their combo wrenches just a little bulky at the head.
I'm very likely to buy this kit as it seems to be a great starter set and HD stores can be found most everywhere. Could you please list which Westling Machine Socket Holders you used? I'd like to buy everything at once. I've seen other video reviews on the Westling and they look great! #WorkshopAddict
@@brandonneil8954 They do but forget about your warranties especially the one you bought at Sears ! Something the chinese dont understand how important is a warranty to prove how good your products are , chinese distributors change name and ownership every 2-3 years the take a fake name pretending their the same as the originals americans made ones !
I like husky to bro but you can still get Craftsman they signed a contract with Lowe's so instead of buying them from Sears you just go to Lowe's and buy them and they still stand up to that same warranty
Why is that a funny thing? We see a lot of 8,9 and 11's along with 21 and 24s. I guess it will depend on the car and how deep you get into working on it.
@@ericrichter1934 hmm.. I just walked over to see if any of the sockets looked new and unused. The only ones that are not used are the very, very small sizes and the 20mm. We work on lifting trucks and jeeps and adding performance to sports cars. We seem to use all the sockets at one point or another. We do a lot of Ford and GM work. Once you dive into an LS3 or an LT4, you use a lot of different sockets.
I am just saying for a shade tree mechanic that i am. Those are the common ones i use for the three brands i work on. That is what makes it funny to me because i have a lot those that never get used so i probably should not have bought them.
Looks nice for a starter set. I personally love my wobble extension set. I only reach for the straight ones if there's a tough nut (you loose torque with the wobble & I've broken them trying too hard) thanks for the video. #workshopaddict
WorkshopAddict they always clicked a little for me...there's a second fulcrum created where they wobble (the hour glass shape right before detent pin) this skinny part is the weakest link...& gets the most pressure. FYI this could also mess up torque (I've done it, but wouldn't recommend it) I still love them, but would never lean into it or risk a knuckle crack if it breaks. If it's taking too much pressure grab a solid extension...or even better impact with extension. Also when they did break I was at 60 ft-lb or so 3/8 ratchet...they can take a beating...just not too much.
Buy the set that is listed first on their page. I believe it is $119 engraved. Set all your sockets up on it and see what else you want to put on them. there are some screwdriver type sockets that I rarely use that do not need to be there, but the Torx and Allen were important to me. I would order One 3/8" universal, but you may not want to.
The 3 pc sets at harbor freight are pretty sweet and would take on most of this set I believe. They have 3 pc metric and 3 pc standard packs $20 you'll have all 6 pc
@@WorkshopAddict Never mind that was retarded. I mean to say the one that was 400 bucks. The 432 piece set is only 250 bucks or something. At home Depot anyway
@@WorkshopAddict you can still purchase that kit today. But i think it's been around for many years. I dont know when craftsman was sold other than when lowes took over it
I have Craftsman and Husky Tools with made in the USA on them. America needs to get this industry back dam it!
Hoping SB&D brings the hand tool manufacturing back on the Craftsman side.

The funny thing is I work on cars a lot and really the only ones you need are 10mm 13mm 15mm 17mm 18mm.
Why is that a funny thing? We see a lot of 8,9 and 11's along with 21 and 24s. I guess it will depend on the car and how deep you get into working on it.
It’s funny because why do you need all those other ones. I usually work on Mercedes Volkswagen and gm.
@@ericrichter1934 hmm.. I just walked over to see if any of the sockets looked new and unused. The only ones that are not used are the very, very small sizes and the 20mm. We work on lifting trucks and jeeps and adding performance to sports cars. We seem to use all the sockets at one point or another. We do a lot of Ford and GM work. Once you dive into an LS3 or an LT4, you use a lot of different sockets.
I am just saying for a shade tree mechanic that i am. Those are the common ones i use for the three brands i work on. That is what makes it funny to me because i have a lot those that never get used so i probably should not have bought them.
Another good review keep em coming.. #workshopaddict
Great vídeo thanks, good tools 😍😍😍
lots of tools for a old vette, wobble extension will keep square on the bolt when the racket is against something,

*HARBOR FREIGHT IS ON THE RISE, BABY!*
On the eight what is the break down how many of each size and metric and standard sorry I'm new at this
Thanks DC
So shiny
Looks nice for a starter set. I personally love my wobble extension set. I only reach for the straight ones if there's a tough nut (you loose torque with the wobble & I've broken them trying too hard) thanks for the video. #workshopaddict
That's what i was wondering. After some use, do the wobble extensions start to click. I will keep trying to use them.
WorkshopAddict they always clicked a little for me...there's a second fulcrum created where they wobble (the hour glass shape right before detent pin) this skinny part is the weakest link...& gets the most pressure. FYI this could also mess up torque (I've done it, but wouldn't recommend it) I still love them, but would never lean into it or risk a knuckle crack if it breaks. If it's taking too much pressure grab a solid extension...or even better impact with extension. Also when they did break I was at 60 ft-lb or so 3/8 ratchet...they can take a beating...just not too much.
How much did it cost how much was the kit
It has been years and i do not remember. This video has to be 4 plus years old.
interesting i much prefer the wobble extensions as opposed to the universals.
How many socket organizers do you need? And where do I get which ever is recommended?
We have a video on westling machine holders that explains it all
Esse kite precisa de chegar no Brasil??
Awesome review man. How would you compare this set to the comparable Kobalt or Pittsburgh tool set?
I like it much better than my Pittsburgh tools! Some Kobalt tools might be nicer and some are not, so it is on par with Kobalt in many ways.
WorkshopAddict
Thanks for the reply sir. So all in all how would your ranking be between Pittsburgh, Kolbat, Stanley, Craftsman and Husky?
At this time I like husky the best. Craftsman was great when it was made in the USA, but that has not been true for some time.
Husky makes great tools. Besides where I live there is a home depot everywhere. #workshopaddict
nice product nice review...keep it up #WorkshoAddict
What organizers are you using for this video? Can you post prudct links?
westlingmachine.com/
That corvette looks about like my 73 Stingray...even the same color...
How many westing do I need to order for this set? Would like to be prepared like you said when I get this husky set...
Eight for the sockets and Two black for the screw driver and allen sets.
I have this set. How many Westling socket racks do you suggest to hold the entire set?
Buy the set that is listed first on their page. I believe it is $119 engraved. Set all your sockets up on it and see what else you want to put on them. there are some screwdriver type sockets that I rarely use that do not need to be there, but the Torx and Allen were important to me. I would order One 3/8" universal, but you may not want to.
This and the Kobalt set have pros and cons. Tell Husky to color their metric / sae wrenches and they would have a killer set.
Does the sockets fits in the top drawer of the tool box? ( were wrenches is)
How many, and what assortments, of organizing trays did you use to organize the full set?
Pretty nice starter kit to keep around the house when I'm trying to work on these cars. #workshopaddict
How many socket holders did you end up with for the kit? I would like to get the same.
#workshopaddict Woah, the underside of that car is cleeeeeeeeeeean!
That is our 2013 Mustang GT and we were installing the MGW short throw shifter. Pretty clean for 14K miles.
You've got that right. Hard to believe you guys drove that thing. "SHOWCAR"
That is no show car! That is my daily in the summer.
Whaaaaaaatttttt!
Lenny Bryant I believe what you are seeing is the air flow through the car. It does not direct air in the area of the transmission, so no dirt there.
can you list the manufacturer and part numbers for the socket holders that you need for this set? thanks
Are you talking about the ones I show? If so see this: th-cam.com/video/OvW-1tFmVGI/w-d-xo.html
yes, which Westling pieces do you need for this tool set?
The 3 pc sets at harbor freight are pretty sweet and would take on most of this set I believe. They have 3 pc metric and 3 pc standard packs $20 you'll have all 6 pc
You've never used a wobble extension? Interesting lol
bsayles13 Nope. I have a very large collection of universals and have never had the need for a wobble extension.
I use my wobble extensions more then regular lol but mine are snap on wobble plus so when they lock into the non wobble position they stay
WorkshopAddict how much is that tool set I'm from Pakistan sir
I really like my wobbles.... Handy... I'll usually grab that over a standard extention
#suggestion you should review the husky 1025 piece set. That cost 1500 dollars. Was 1600 but it was on sale 100 bucks off
@Workshop Addict
Or the 432 piece husky set. Sorry for the last response
All thought I just got it a day ago. For some reason
@@madbear3512 This is a review of the 432 piece kit.
@@WorkshopAddict
Never mind that was retarded. I mean to say the one that was 400 bucks. The 432 piece set is only 250 bucks or something. At home Depot anyway
Great review #WorkshoAddict
Looks like a ratchet clone from the ratchets snap on made in the 90's.
ppl still use the suseside joints? Looks like a neat kit tho.
Nice review Brian, a lot of info. #WORKSHOPADDICT
You sure those locking extensions come with the set? Mine didn’t.
What would be the price for this set on black friday?
Husky vs the Pittsburg big set? Harbor freight Pittsburg is not bad at alllllll
Wow. Forever is a very long time. #Workshopaddict
Where can I get those storage holders for the sockets?
Craftsman sells a 299pc all sockes made by them for about 300
SBD Craftsman or Sears Craftsman? SBD did not own Craftsman when this video was made and that has changed things up a bit.
@@WorkshopAddict you can still purchase that kit today. But i think it's been around for many years. I dont know when craftsman was sold other than when lowes took over it
