I truly believe that a large tool set with a special carrying case is one of the best gifts you can give. It looks very impressive, is useful for any type of person, and is easy to roll as it is usually rectangular in shape (though I recommend I'm going to give up wrapping paper this year.). Right now, Lowe's has this 297-piece mechanic's tool set for just $99, making it a great choice for gift shopping. It's cheaper than any of the sets I saw on sale on Prime Day, so get one before they sell out like the viral mini toolboxes do every year.
Kobalt 297 – Standard (SAE) and Metric Mechanical Tool Set in Hard Case $99 (was $150)
Watch this
This set contains almost everything you need to work with hand tools. You get:
- three 90-tooth ratchets
- over 100 sockets in SAE and metric sizes
- 36-bit driver sockets
- 6 short combination keys
- various hex keys, insert bits and wrenches
This is a great way to introduce someone to a tool collection or give an experienced DIYer the opportunity to backup tool kit store in a store or truck. The durable body is designed to withstand heavy-duty work, and the tools themselves are made from heat-treated chrome vanadium steel for durability. I would love to receive this as a gift, so if my dad is reading this, you know what to do.
