Kobalt tools 50% off at lowes

http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/611...t-10-20piece-kobalt-mechanics-tool-set-w-case

Some are 60% off

 

I thought they would make nice christmas gifts without breaking the bank

 

Ill be going there tomorrow, thanks

 

I'm fairly certain lowes also has a 10% off for active/retired military...makes the deal that much more of a deal

Also...concerning Kobalt tools. I've heard vary opinions on them, some say there terrible others say there pretty good. I know you get what you pay for and they won't compare to snap on and such. But are they comparable to say, a craftsman?

 

Thanks for the heads up. I am missing so many sockets from my craftsman mechanics tool set I am going to have to jump on the one they have for $100

 

Imo craftsman are the best tools out there, but I know there are many snap on fans. I wouldnt say Kobalt are as good as those 2 brands, but they are pretty good for non everyday use. And this is a pretty good deal. I'll probably throw these in the truck. Do Kobalt tools have a lifetime warranty? Seems I read somewhere that they do.

 

Yes they do have a lifetime warranty

 

Snap-on tools are nice and all but to me the cost only makes sense if you are a professional mechanic or something. Otherwise, Craftsman, Kobalt and Husky all carry lifetime warranties and are just fine for 99.9% of us home fabricators

 

Yeah Im think about outfitting the taco with some basic tools, so these might do it.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Just got mine, great deal!

 

Sold out of the $100 set at my local lowes

Spend a little more and get some Klein side cutters. You won't regret it.

 

x2. I've got everything Craftsman but my old man used to be a mechanic and has a full set of Snap-on tools and some MAC tools and there's no comparison, they are nice!! For me, Craftsman works just fine at 1/4 the cost.

Just bought the $100 one and some pliers.
Good Deal

 

yes its true. Last night I bought the $99 set & the $9 pliers.
$98.99 for both kits before tax.
They are a Christmas gift for brother.
It appeared the mechanic set came in a toolbox?
I hope he likes it.
Thanks for the thread & savings tip.

 

This is a good deal on the tool sets. Thinking about putting together a set just to keep in the truck. Looks like Home Depot has slashed some prices on their Husky tool sets as well to match.

 

Also, if you use your Lowes card you get an automatic 5% discount. I'm not sure if that would be added to the military discount but you can ask?
