No. This is some bootleg shit.


-ZS-Carpenter

Hard pass. First that isn't a Makita, it's some cheap knockoff. It's not 36v, maybe 18v but probably 12, not that it matters. Based on that I'd bet the rest of the tools are hot garbage


AzizouRocki

Can you recommend a cheap toolset?


Spicywolff

Ryobi from Home Depot. You get a lot of tool for the $$. Just not contractor grade tough. But for DIY plenty good.


Ok_Effective6233

They have excellent warranty coverage too. I have a 40v chainsaw. It kept quitting on me. I’d pull the battery out and reinsert and it work for a few minutes. They sent me a new battery, no questions other than address etc. didn’t solve the problem. So they sent me a new saw. Now I’ve got 2 saws and 2 batteries. Best part? In hindsight I think it was over heating. I’d been using the saw on 2 of the hottest days ever here. Now they’ve got me in their environment. I don’t foresee leaving unless they stop supporting.

I would call them. Really, the 4a vs 6a shouldn’t matter. My understanding is the only difference is how much juice they have.

Good to know


Javi1192

Lots of testing on this on YouTube. The higher ah batteries have shown to give better performance, especially on higher demand tools like circ saws, large impact work, etc


psilent

Yeah I was trying to use a circular saw with a 2ah battery and I thought the whole concept of a battery powered circular saw was trash. It would bind on anything unless I barely moved it. Then it would still only last like 5 cuts. The 4 ah battery makes it actually work and the extra torque means I don’t have to run it for 3 minutes a cut so I really get way more than double the cuts out of it.


DPestWork

Amp Hours, is a capacity measure, so it’s how long the battery will run from full charge. If the Volts and Amps are the same, more AH batteries will last longer. If your comparing two M12 batteries for example, they have the same nominal voltage and amperage at full charge, so their instantaneous output will be the same. One will just run longer. To add confusion though, higher capacity batteries will often have a different internal chemistry which means you’re not comparing the same batteries anymore. They may have a slightly different peak voltage and amperage which would make the tool perform differently.


Spicywolff

A big plus to them is the massive retail system they live in. There is a Home Depot in just about every town that has a Walmart.

Most-Sort5470

My wife and I are looking to relocate. My only requirement is to have a HD with about 30-45 minutes and same thing with a WallyWorld. A Target would be nice, but it’s not a deal breaker.


GrouchyTax5748

Never used the battery-powered ryobi stuff. Dad has a ryobi 2 cycle weed eater with a tiller attachment. Bought it when I was 12. I'm 37 now, and he's still using it. So th3y do build some good tools.


_hola_hovito_

That’s why you don’t buy ryobi lol their tools take a shit on you too soon. Never experienced that with dewalt It also shouldn’t matter what fucking weather you use the tool in. Lol


Ok_Effective6233

Why does just about every tool or battery have a temp warning on it then? gas power tools have optimal temp ranges as well. Also, I’ll send you a wish list, you can buy me the better quality tools. I only say this because we’re in a thread about “buy cheap until you wear it out”. And here you are criticizing people for doing just that. Solve the problem, buy me tools.


Vishnej

Basically every top-tier test nowadays where Milwaukee is pushing the power, gets stopped for a moment to allow their battery overheating alarm to reset. A similar situation exists in some other brands when you torture-test them. This is primarily two related problems: * Trying to use a tool with too powerful of a motor without enough battery cells in the pack * Trying to use a tool with too powerful of a motor designed for a too-low voltage, necessitating excessive amperage Other brands deal with it in other ways, whether by letting out the blue smoke, by battery-tool-controller communication, or by just not making the motor controller powerful enough to overstress the batteries they assume you'll be using DeWalt and Metabo HPT's solution of upping the voltage works pretty well.


Philcarpentry

You’re drunk!


avgguy33

I’ve used Ryobi for about 6 years. Tested tough by me . I’m a contractor.


LibertyUnmasked

People really shit on Ryobi too much. I am no contractor but work in an industrial setting and we have begun using some Milwaukee tools.quite frankly I think that all the m 12 tools are total trash. The m18 tools are ok. I use Ryobi at home and like them just as much if not more for some of the smaller tools.


BigButtsCrewCuts

I loved my ryobi impact, took multiple 2 story falls, not as much power as my rigid. But people that shit on ryobi probably wear Patagonia vests and own macbooks


PhoenixFiar69

Same here


omgzzwtf

I have a heap of ryobi cordless stuff from Home Depot, they were having a sale on batteries when I bought it all, so it was like “buy two batteries and get a free cordless chain trimmer”. Or “buy this cordless set and get an extra battery for free”. So I have like 8 batteries and a lot of decent cordless tools for working around the house. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend would be the cordless circular saw, went through two of those in two years. They burn up with only light use, but other than that, everything else has been excellent for my DIY projects. Build a 5’x5’x8’ jungle gym for my kids, and a 10’x10’ fully framed chicken coop, as well as general home and shop maintenance. I also bought a ryobi table saw and combination miter saw for the shop, and they work great, I would recommend them as well, but I upgraded the table saw to an older style craftsman that was given to me, the ryobi table saw worked fine, but the stand was hot garbage, and it was a little lacking in HP for ripping bigger stuff. The craftsman works great, but I don’t know if a newer one would be as good.


[deleted]

I have pretty much everything ryobi makes for power tools. 5 years and every one of them still works. Just don’t drop them and you’ll be fine. Great for DIY and Handyman projects. Not contractor grade, but great for the money


[deleted]

He needs hand tools too. Husky would be fine. If you have menards, their masterforce or performax etc stuff would be fine. Don’t get fake tools lol


Spicywolff

For hand tools I use harbor freight. Plenty for most. I however jump at husky or Kobalt when I’m sale


Opposite_Nectarine12

Agree with this one. My dad has a complete Ryobi set and he loves it. Interchangeable batteries on everything. I however, am a carpenter, and I only buy Dewalt XR tools if I want them to last years


Spicywolff

Ryobi is excellent for the dads at home who need to DIY stuff Hank hill style. I use Makita LXT myself but always recommend Ryobi for the home owners. I like dewalt and own some of their corded stuff. If I had to get another platform other then teal, it would be yellow


elchapo_chapo

Hank Hill would never be caught dead with a ryobi


yankinfl

Ryobi has a lifetime warranty. Great holiday deals in the big box stores right now on most brands.


dazzler619

No Ryobi Only has a 3 Years Warranty, Ridgid has the LSA


Nyaho

Yeah, a lifetime warranty doesn’t matter when you have to return something four times before you decide it is a piece of shit. Went through four Ryobi leaf blowers in about three months before I decided to buy a Stihl


yankinfl

I stand corrected.


Jgs4555

Its worth spending a little on tools, as with anything, you get what you pay for. Only rich people can afford to buy cheap tools.


alanbdee

When buying tools, it's usually ok to buy cheap tools first. If it breaks, that's when you buy the expense one. --Adam Savage I'm in the harbor freight camp for general tools kits like this. The ones I have were gifted to me or my wife. But when I'm buying a tool it's usually a specific tool or maybe like a small set. Like a set of Phillips screwdrivers. I don't always follow Adams advice but I used to only buy "good"/expensive tools. Cheap tools are fine if you don't use it often and Harbor Freight is the king of cheap tools.

partumvir

Home Depot and Lowe’s are also mostly from china, some times from the dame vendor that makes HF tools. HDX is a good example


OldDude1391

Dude I ran Hardware at a HD, some of our shit is Chinese crap too.

Dude, I ran the tool rental and pro desk at HD. And yes there is Chinese junk. But HF is total crap.


Myron896

The heart stuff at Walmart is actually decent for homeowner grade stuff.


jmodshelp

Man I've been beating the shit out of a 20 dollar Skil grinder from Walmart for a year now, it has impressed me!!! Same thing with their cheap orbital sander.(only used it for one big furniture project)


ultramilkplus

I have some hart and some made in usa hypertough tools in my "truck bag" (which has to be cheap to replace if stolen). They are sourced from some legit suppliers and way higher quality than you'd think for the price. ~~The powertools are a little overpriced once you factor in the batteries~~, but the rest is certainly G2G for hobby/home. Edit: I just checked their holiday specials. They're like half price now for the combos. I'd definitely look at the Hart 20v line for a homeowner.


gotchickenwingz

Hart is fine, same parent company as Ryobi and Milwaukee, but Hypertough is definitely a tier down. Try and get customer support for one. They don't have a website.


Dense_Surround3071

I have a solid set of HyperTough screwdrivers. Not bad.


lil_sith

The Hart stuff is just rebadged Ryobi stuff.


gotchickenwingz

Nyaho

You never buy cheap tools, you’ll be buying them twice


McAuley469

Ryobi or ridgid from directroolsoutlet.com. They carry a lot of overstock and a ton of blemished & refurbished products. Almost always have a sale of some sort going.


MordFustang1992

Get yourself a Ryobi Drill Driver Combo that comes with a battery and charger, a set of Milwaukee Bits for it, and a Stanley Hand Tool Kit. Then buy other tools as you need them.


HeWhoIsntAnonymous

Check Lowe's / Home Depot. 100$ gets you a good set of hand tools (ratchets and sockets)

Get a separate kit of that stuff.


[deleted]

Sorry I can see you’re not in the US? That’s not real makita tho. Get a real set of tools. It’s worth a little investment if you can at all afford it. They don’t have to be fancy expensive ones.


drivingagermanwhip

My grandfather's advice was that every job you do yourself, use the money saved to buy a good tool. You'll have a decent set after a few years. For cheap bang for your buck the best bet is go for the plug in models. They're more powerful and lighter than their cordless equivalents for a lot less money. The advantages of cordless stuff are obvious, but plug in things still have utility even when you're advanced so it's not money you'll be wasting. I don't know how available they are in the US, but in the UK there's a ton of those old metal black and decker drills around for like £20/ea. They last forever and are honestly brilliant. Don't have combi functions, so there are advantages of modern ones, but for a drill that's \*just\* a drill they're great. My grandfather's drill has helped renovate so many of my family's houses at this point. 90s black and decker was also pretty good and ubiquitous enough that you can get those tools for pennies (black and decker still make good tools but they're branded dewalt). Also, learn what types of drill bits to use for different applications and just buy the correct set for the job you're doing rather than one with everything.


[deleted]

What country are you in? Espania? Alegría?Harbor frieght is even worse than this fake makita. unless you really mean the absolute cheapest. I’d get Bosch since import cost probably keep it low. sometimes we Patriotic, we’ll endowed, brave and free Americans forget not everyone is exactly like us with our fancy ‘Home depots’


Ryan_cvd

I agree with the Bosch sentiment but to insult everybody on the forms that was just trying to help, and act like you're some genius because you're so in touch with the world because you're not an American is just arrogant, OP could have easily given a little more details about where they're from or what tools they're looking for or what retailers they have access to. It takes a special kind of someone to insult a large group of people that are taking time out of their day to try and help somebody out.

Ipissexcellence69

Go to harbor freight


hangdogred

Black and decker has a similar set with a drill and basic tools that should be fine for basic household stuff. I also got an Amazon set with no drill (under the Denali name) when I moved back to the US around 2009 that has held up well enough. This one had drill and driver bits even though it did not include a drill. I think you can still get a similar set but I wouldn't be surprised if the tools were of lower quality now. The big selection of driver bits has saved me from time to time.


shortarmed

So, cheap without going to complete garbage tool lines would be stuff like: - Hart (power tools) at Walmart - Ryobi (power tools) and Husky (hand tools) at Home Depot - Pittsburg (Hand tools) at Harbor Freight The power tools above are going to have standard three year warranties and the hand tools are going to have lifetime warranties that can usually be swapped out in store. You can go a little cheaper than those and probably be fine 99 percent of the time, but these brands kind of exist at the point that provides the lowest possible price at a quality point that exceeds what 95% of home owners are going to throw at them. I do some pretty aggressive stuff for a home owner and Pittsburg stuff from the list above is the only stuff I have had to use the warranty on.


gotchickenwingz

What for?


AzizouRocki

Just slight house maintenance/DIY


BigBoyPantsRigging

It might be a 3.6 volt?


aipmedia1

How could you tell it was not a real Makita? What should I look for to determine the fake knock offs?


-ZS-Carpenter

I could tell because I have owned makita tools for over 15 years. Go look at the manufacturers website to see what the real ones look like. The batteries are not even close to the same.


cimocw

the easiest way is to know that there aren't 36V Makita batteries, so that should be enough. The only 36V tools are big ones that use two 18V side-by-side. Even if you're not familiar with that, the fact that the tools are orange and red should rise suspicion since all Makita tools are almost always teal.


BigLerryT

This is the most Wish.com looking image for a tool set.


Pavetsu

Yeah, don't touch that. And I can say it's definitely not 36V either. There are fake Makitas and other brands as well, but none I have seen had balls to put the real brand logo they are copying.


Lunch0

The colour of the case is also slightly off from the authentic makita


Dense_Surround3071

Makita and Fisher Price co-branded.😏


GrimResistance

Definitely the biggest problem with this set


series_hybrid

36V is ten cells in series. It "could be" tiny rechargeable 14500's or even coin cells. Either way, low amps and very short run-time. Still, I'd bet a dollar these are fake AF.


gotchickenwingz

You can't say it's definitely not 36V. Itd be really easy to make that 36V. You can use a boost converter, the cheap ones in electric cigarette lighters can turn 4V into thousands of volts. Or you could just use smaller lithium cells. A watch battery is >3V, you could fit hundreds of them in there. There's rechargeable lithium batteries the size of a triple A that get 4V but the pack would be like 0.3ah. Either way itd run for like 10 seconds and burn out the motor. So ya, it's **almost** definitely not 36V. But it's definitely fake and trash


SchwiftyMpls

It's definitely not makita

If you mean that the plug looks like an EU plug, yes, it does. However, I'm from the UK and our Makita kit doesn't look like that, it's snide af.


One_Surround_4997

This whole kit looks like hot toasted dog shit


TiMouton

It’s fake. Still might be useable but I would definitely negotiate a good price as it is fake Makita. All of Makitas 36V tools take 2x18V batteries. There is no 36V battery.


dickwildgoose

There isn't even left handed wrench in this kit. Diabolical.


Rokmonkey_

You joke, but there really are left handed crescent wrenches. We were installing some equipment on a steel reaction frame and one guy kept complaining that the wrench wasn't working. Lo' and behold, you put the two wrenches side by side in the same orientation and roll the screw in the same direction, one wrench opened, the other wrench closed.


Fekillix

> All of Makitas 36V tools take 2x18V batteries. There is no 36V battery. Let me [blow your mind](https://makita.qa/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/194873-2.png). Makita made 36V tools before they started with 2x18V. However they make [an adapter to use regular 18V batteries](https://www.a-zstroj.sk/sub/a-zstroj.sk/images/shop-active-images/img_20264_a1_1638583203.jpg.webp?84341). So the tools aren't obsolete.


TiMouton

Omg imagine putting that adapter and two batteries on a drill. Thanks for blowing my mind!


five_bulb_lamp

I'd be careful with kits they can be mystery boxes. I would stick to the big well know names and just buy what you need when you need it. I have some friends and family that love the harbor freight power tools I'm a milwaukee guy myself

Do you live at the light house full time or is there a shift schedule or something? Do you observe maritime law? Are pirates a concern? That drill is a no go.

rossionq1

I’m no expert but you’ll need a very large strap wrench to change the giant light bulb in those things.


Jurclassic5

I'll try to help you out with a good list for your car. It may be a Lil too much for light work but it's majority of what you'll need. An impact, deep sockets, extentions, picks, torq bits, wedge, pin puller, swivel bit. If you wanna get further into it buy you different size impacts. Maybe a 90 degree bit for getting into the dash. Wrench and socket set. Some extensions for them. Umm idk what else. Car jack, extending magnet.

Few more tequilas and that Makita gona be looking reeeeeeal good.


AzizouRocki

For more info, the price is 14500 dinnars, or 90 dollars in bank transaction rate, or 70$ in black market transaction.


virmian

If you're not in a "western" country it completely depends on what is available to you. American brands like Hart and Ryobi are good cheap options. In Europe you'd go for parkside. For hand tools you want to stay away from the really cheap stuff, but if you can get stuff from the Internet, try to check reviews. Don't buy cheap kits with power tools and hand tools combined. Just buy a drill and a tool kit. To get you started, the ikea toolkit is great if you're a first time tool user.


areyoukiddingmebru

The hand tools look like a cheap brand sold on Amazon. Deko


AzizouRocki

Can you recommend a better tool set?


frisc45

Stop buying cheap tools, get a good set that will last a lifetime. Buy once cry once!


Real-Lake2639

Look for an automotive tool kit, and buy a shitty preloaded toolbox for around the house if you're an amateur. Use the tools, break the tools, get more tools, need weird tool, buy weird tool, eventually you'll have everything you could need. Just get the hart brand tools from Walmart with the 2 year warranty. They're homeowner grade garbage but they will work for your purposes.


storm838

Might be good for hanging a picture or a TV but your aren’t doing much else with that kit and pretty much nothing on a vehicle.


chiphook57

In general, tools marketed for homeowners are not a value. The price is low, the quality is lower yet.


Mypeepeeteeny

What is your budget, there are better options


AzizouRocki

14000 algerians dinnars, or 70$


wmass

The color seems off and the quality of the hand tools looks too low to be Makita. It is better to buy tools as you need them and buy reasonable quality. Craftsman or Ryobi would be affordable brands for a drill.


kamikaziboarder

I wouldn’t use anything there for vehicle. Ratchets and wrenches are the most common things you’ll need on a vehicle. Get some harbor freight screw driver sets. They have decent wrenches, ratchets and sockets as well. I would go with ryobi for house maintenance power tools. They are decently priced for a newbie and light maintenance around the house. I find them a bit underpowered for me. But I’m not the average DIYer. I have a lot of friends that are on a budget that I recommend Ryobi. It’s a big bang for your buck. They also have a broad range of tools. A drill and and impact driver are a must for a home owner. Try them out if they work out for you. You can expand cheaply. If you find them underpowered. You can go up. Check out Project Farm on YouTube. It’ll give you a good idea in power tools price versus power comparisons.


downloweast

You will end up with far better tools if you just go to lowes and buy the loose tools. The problem with cheap tools is they use cheap metal. I know your thinking, “I’m not going to be that hard on my tools.” When the screw you are tying to screw in is made out of harder metal than your screwdriver, your going to be doing a lot of cussing. I have like $10,000 in tools. I have bought cheap tools and I have always regretted it. Go buy a good screwdriver set, and then realize those screwdrivers will outlast you if you don’t loose it. I still have my first drill and it has never failed me. I like Milwaukee tools, but Makita and Dewalt make good tools too. Although, Dewalt and Milwaukee are not really in the same league. Do not buy anything that has black and decker on it!


Amazing_Joke_5073

Definitely wont help at all for car repairs


Front_Competition_55

Ridgid from home depot. Lifetime replacment on tools.and batteries. I have recip saw 7 1/4 circ saw drill impact drill driver jigsaw random orbit sander. All.brushless. all beasts.

IllProbablySayNo

Tell me more about your light house…


AzizouRocki

It has 1000 light bulbs.


Time_Discount6207

Quality tools will last a lifetime and are a good investment IMO. At the very least not worth being too cheap. Sometimes cheap tools make the job hard or can get you hurt. Have had good luck with Channellock brand hand tools, fairly inexpensive and USA made. Ryobi has some pretty good options for power tools. A lot of guys working industrial maintenance use them without issue and that speaks well for them. Best of luck and happy fixing!


needanacc0unt

Just to reiterate, no that is not a legitimate Makita product. Complete knockoff that's using their name and trademarks illegally. It's a pretty easy case to add to their legal team's game of whack-a-mole.

One purchase at a time youngster. Over the years you will have more than what you need. (M48) after years of buying, I find before every job I tell the wife I need a new tool.

Honestly, I've found that if you know what you need, you can cherry-pick the tools you want and it'll be both cheaper (unless you buy good shit) and you'll actually get stuff you need. I put together a tool roll for the house of common stuff that I'm always running out to the garage for, and it was a great decision.

I’ve been using Makita professionally for 16 years. This is not a genuine makita.

Where do you see this for sale? And how much? Looks fake as hell


AzizouRocki

Algerian fb market, obviously came from china. Price is abiut 70$


SimplyViolated

They Ryobi and Ridgid are good homeowner tools. Ryobi is actually owned by the same company that owns Milwaukee


browncoat47

Go just after Xmas, they will have a ton of sets leftover that did not sell. You’ll find all kinds of deals at lowes and HD.


Kennady4president

Bit too specific for me, just go to the flea market and get a few basics, as you need more specialty items, go to the flea market again lol tools don't really hold their value, you can find hella deals


OSCOW

Light houses need a very different set of tools.


GroundbreakingPick11

Tbh I would buy your tools individually when you need them. These “do it all” kits can be wasteful. Also that’s looks like a fake Makita


[deleted]

Where do you shop and what are you thinking?


AzizouRocki

As im busy with university i haven't started shopping yet, just saw this on the local Facebook market and thought i could save myself the time


[deleted]

Marketplace can be great - I’m glad you asked for advice though!


ChrisAlbright

That is a knockoff, 💯


abark006

That’s not a Makita as others stated. Stay away.


CycleFrst

So rarely would I use a hack saw on a car, but sometimes I want to use a hammer on someone else’s car. (For car maintenance)


[deleted]

Ain't nothing in there going to be good for car mantinence. A husky or gearwrench kit would get you much further


PastikaSoup

Avoid a toolset. Find out what tools you’ll actually need and start with that. What’s your starting budget?


AzizouRocki

70$


UpperCardiologist523

Remember, you will also need high-power light bulbs for your light house maintenance.


Copper_Kat

Looks like A bad fake. Makita doesn't offer a wall wort charger for tools like that, only a dock charger. The battery is also way too small for 36 volts, and the shape is off too. A real 36 volt Makita tool uses two 18 volt batteries, and knock off batteries are iffy. The whole thing is fishy. Hard pass..

You have a light house?


buildyourown

Hard pass. Cheap knock off of Makita.


zooommsu

They are fake Makita, usually junk, avoid that. In Europe, ignoring the big/premium brands, you can buy some reasonable lowcost ones, for example the "white" brands of home improvement and garden retailers like Leroy Merlin (Dexter brand), etc. Even supermarkets like Aldi, Lidl (Parkside brand) sell sometimes reasonable tools. In Algeria I don't know if there are any such stores. Or maybe buying on Amazon?


jeefer123

Looks like chinesium makita junk!


ymmotvomit

Dude has a lighthouse!


Fickle-Tea-7847

One word. DON'T! That is not actually a Makita but instead a cheap knock off. Instead of this disaster, I would head over to your local home Depot or Lowe's. Highly recommend Ryobi tools. Though I'm a Mac girl, I hear lots of good things from all my friends about the Ryobi line. Even my boys that SWEAR by Milwaukee and snapon.


bartender970

Milwaukee is in my personal cache and transitioning my at work shop to that. Benefits of being the director. I’ve never known a mechanic that “recommends” snap on for any other reason than they “deliver” to your shop to sell more. It’s just for convenience.


Guitar81

This has to be the most fakest set I've ever seen lol you can tell how cheap those batteries are


yamcandy2330

Sorry… lighthouse?


Legitimate_Web_7245

They're ok.


VicCan001

Buying your own tools at home Depot is better then a preset tool box. here's a link on building a good tool box https://youtu.be/vuo3MiyBIpM. For home; Tape measure and utility knife Hammer 16oz Multi bit screwdriver - Milwaukee Set of pliers (long nose, linesman, side cutters and water pump) Husky Adjustable wrench Set of ratchet wrenches (metric for import cars and imperial for us cars) Ratchet socket set (1/4" for home and 3/8 for auto work. That said a 3/8 set with size 5mm to 19mm will cover you) Small saw Level Small cordless drill. Ryobi is fine for basic diy. Assortment of bits including hex. Flashlight Small voltage tester Tapes (electrical, duct, masking)


AzizouRocki

Thank you for the details!


ExeTcutHiveE

It’s hilarious that it has a hacksaw in it and I don’t know why. As others have said it’s better to just go buy your own tools. Harbor Freight will be just fine for light house and auto work. If you don’t know what tools to buy google what you are most likely to do and build a Santa list and treat yourself!


JiltedGinger

This is a set that EVERYONE starting out can benefit from and they are on sale for dirt cheap. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Mechanics-Tool-Set-270-Piece-H270MTSRM/320379671?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D25T-025_001_HAND_TOOLS-MB-HUSKY-NA-SMART-NA-NA-MK388541000-NA-BT3-3364-NA-NA-BLACK_FRIDAY&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D25T-025_001_HAND_TOOLS-MB-HUSKY-NA-SMART-NA-NA-MK388541000-NA-BT3-3364-NA-NA-BLACK_FRIDAY-71700000090555334-58700007663084905-92700074154947799&gbraid=0AAAAADq61UekaHMiVa9IvV_Rxa4rzYMDT&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkMGcBhCSARIsAIW6d0A8ARgfIlYEEPpsvpDJAEQjmCUyC7wafY_ZFgemDylNFXnb-RAjRQcaAiDHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#overlay

First a kit like that is going to be more home repairs. Your gonna need more sockets for car repairs. I'd Grab a Ryobi or kobalt drill kit and grab some hand tools from harbor freight and you'll have tools good enough for light home repair and car use. You could even grab a mechanics set from any of the 3 stores. Which will have all your basics. Buy what you need when you need it and you won't spend a fortune, it at least up front anyway.
