How to Choose

Compare coverage and access

Review the included tool types, drive sizes, fastener ranges, and specialized features. Options include 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch, and 3/4-inch drive coverage; SAE, metric, or fractional selections; hand and impact sockets; and straight or angled plier jaws.

Applications

Plan around the work area

Portable storage options include leather cases, tool rolls, keeper pouches, lift buckets, and three-drawer boxes. Larger maintenance collections use roller cabinets and top chests to keep broad tool assortments together in professional work areas.

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with the job

Select a kit based on the tools the task calls for

A modular assortment can also include snips, a hacksaw, a feeler gauge, and a clamp.
