Looks like the tool is good, but how is the quality? Are those like cheap made tools?

Oh, that's an easy and emphatic "yes". Apparently there are two versions of this kit being distributed and the one that I got was pretty bottom of the barrel Chinese manufacture.

The tools are good quality. Some of the metal spudges are ground a little weird, but all the tools seem like they will perform well for many years to come and I have been very satisfied with them for the 6 months or so that I've had them. These are not just another iteration of the cheap tool sets that are littering the tech tools marketplace, but at this price they are also not surgeon's tools either. You pretty much get what you pay for with these. I use these professionally; they are always in my briefcase when I visit clients and so far I am very satisfied. Read my review for more info.

Not at all. iFixit makes quality to tools to last a long time. Good warranty as well.

I would say that the quality of all of the current production in the listed brands are comparable. The older Craftsman tools, speaking of from the 70s and 80s, I have found to be tighter when new, and of better over all construction. The GearWrench tools are of respectable quality and are a good value, especially if you shop around and can find a good deal online.

I like the angle finder, but it isn't worth 160 if you don't do a lot of that kind of work. I happen to love the saw and don't think it is cheaply made or overpriced. You get what you pay for. I like doing quality work and I get that with this saw.

I'm sorry but I have thrown the packaging away. I looked all over the tool but do not see any indication of where it's made. I can say it feels like good build quality.

I bought a 22" long screwdriver set locally for under $5 (at a discount tool supplier that sells "Pittsburgh" branded tools) and used that. I didn't have another screwdriver long enough in my 20+ years tool collection.

It's not super high quality, but if you're looking to turn some rough spindles, it should be fine. Definitely order spare parts like tool rest, etc., from Harbor Freight, they carry the same model. I don't know anything about ship building, but I hope this helps.

Yes, it's a great drill. Check the prices at the big box hardware stores. You will come back and order this one!

I just got mine today and the chuck looks pretty decent quality to me. It looks identical to this one on Amazon which gets good reviews: CTA Tools 1930 Straight Lock-On Air ChuckIn fact, I was shopping for a possible replacement but from the reviews, nothing is better than this one which appears to come with the Astro Pneumatic.

It is so cheap shipping would be prohibitive! Although cheap It seems to be a well made tool! You may need to adjust items inside the tool. I did and works well.

Sorry have not used mine as of yet. They were such neat tools at a good price thought they would be nice to have.

That is somewhat of a wide open question. The saw seems well made. I've only had mine a few weeks and used it a few times. The cuts I've made were through 2 3/8 pipe and have been accurate and quite smooth. As I've used a Makita abrasive saw for years I would expect this one to hold up as well. I will continue to use the abrasive saw for less accurate straight cuts and reserve the new saw for miter cuts or where accuracy is paramount.

I actually got the CTK70MP for $50. My set only has 2 ratchets (the 170 has 3), and I did not get the pliers, crescent wrench, channel locks, or the screw drivers. I have used my set for changing brake pads and engine oil, and I am happy with the quality of the tools, but now that I see this one, I am a little envious. I think you should go for it! :D

When it comes to tools I always buy good quality. I've owned this one for a year or two and love it. It may be a little overpowered for your needs as written, but it's versatility outweighs others that are only slightly cheaper.

We have never used the tool... But it looks to be glued in as apart of the tool and non replaceable... Sorry

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I would say it's as good of a tool as your going to find.....

The tool is good but it needs sufficient air pressure (psi) to remove large nuts on a wheel, as in your tractor. I needed to go to a dealer ( Sears) to get any real information on torque and or power. It is always returnable to sears, but it still requires trips to the store or return trips if it has insuffiicient power to do the job. ( good compressor, and high torque gun is the answer. Good luck...RJB

Haven't had any issues with mine. The tools it comes with are low quality so is recommend getting a tool kit.
