Denali 115-Piece Home Repair Tool Kit

Editorial Review:

Every home needs a good set of basic tools, and kits are a great way to get them at a considerable savings. Three things make Denali's 115-piece kit stand out--the price, an exceptional selection of screwdriver bits, and last but not least, the bag. In fact, it's hard to find a set of tools as extensive as this for anywhere near this price. If purchased separately, these items would cost $150.00
This kit includes all of the tools you need for just about any household chore, from hanging pictures to fixing a leaky faucet. They are of good quality and should handle all of your household chores and repairs for many years to come. Going through this kit, I really appreciated little touches rarely seen in basic tool sets, like the soft-grip rubber cover on the tape measure that makes it easy and comfortable to hold, and the dizzying array of bits that come with the ratcheting screwdriver handle.
But what's really brilliant is that all of these tools come in a heavy-duty nylon bag. Most tool sets come in big, flat blow-molded cases that can be awkward to store and carry. Plus, some tools invariably fall out when you open the case. That's why most professionals, after buying a tool set, will throw away the case it came in and go out and buy a separate tool bag or chest to store their tools. The Denali kit's bag fits easily under a sink cabinet (it actually is the size of a breadbox), and has both a shoulder strap and hand-straps that Velcro together, making it easy to carry around. The mouth of the bag has metal stabilizing rods in the zipper, so it opens wide and stays open, meaning you can set it down, and easily get to any of the tools inside while you are working. There are a ton of pockets lining the inside and outside of the bag to carry little things like nails, screws, tape, picture hangers--all of the little things that seem to crowd your kitchen drawers.
Of course, what are most important are the tools themselves. Again, this is a well-appointed set of quality tools that should outfit you for just about any household need. Here is a complete tally.
What's In The Bag
16-ounce ripping hammer with heavy duty fiberglass handle
This is a medium-weight hammer that will handle most household jobs, with claws for pulling nails.
Torpedo Level
A good sturdy level is a must for hanging or straightening pictures, checking tabletop alignment, or mounting towel bars and curtain rods. This 9-inch, aluminum model is accurate, lightweight and easy to handle.
Tape measure
The 3/4-inch wide by 16-foot long tape measure has a thumb lock, metric and English markings, marks for placing studs every 16-inches, a belt clip, and a soft-grip rubber shell that makes it easy to grip and comfortable to hold.
Heavy-duty zinc utility knife with rubber grip
Wrenches
16pc hex key set
These are also called Allen wrenches. The kit comes with 8 in metric and 8 in English measurements.
6-piece combination wrench set with steel clip
Pliers
8-inch needle- nose pliers with wire-cutting blades, useful for getting into small spaces and gripping small nails, screws, nuts, etc. (meets or exceeds ANSI standards)
8-inch diagonal pliers (meets or exceeds ANSI standards)
8-inch groove-joint pliers(meets or exceeds ANSI standards)
7-inch nickel-coated locking pliers are essential for getting a good, solid grip, especially when working in small spaces that don't allow you to grip with your full strength.
wire cutters
Screwdrivers
Wow, you'd never imagine needing a star-drive screwdriver, until you buy that fancy new European dishwasher. Denali's kit includes a ratcheting handle with a selection of interchangeable bits to provide an exceptional array of screwdrivers in all sizes and head shapes. The ratcheting handle is a nice feature, making it a lot easier to drive screws that are upside down or in tough to see places, where you really don't want release pressure on the screwdriver handle to keep turning it.
14 flat head: 4, 5, 6, and 7 mm and 3/32-, 1/8-, 5/32-, 3/16- (x3), 7/32-, and 1/4- (x3) inch
9 Phillips head: 1x2, 2x5, and 3x2
3 square head: S1, S2, and S3
10 star head: T6, T7, T8, T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30, and T40
10 hex: 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 mm and 1/8-, 5/32-, 3/16-, 7/32-, and 1/4-inch
4 Pozidriv: PZ0, PZ1, PZ2, and PZ3
Poszidriv screws are similar to Phillips head screws, but are less prone to slippage at high torque and so provide better performance when working with air and power tools. Note that Pozidriv screwdrivers are likely to slip or tear out the screw head when used in Phillips screws.
14 nut drivers
Drill Bits
This is interesting, since the kit doesn't come with a drill. The manufacturers apparently assume that either you have a cordless drill and will appreciate a couple of good bit sets, or that if you don't have one, you should get one. They're right. If you don't have a good, basic, cordless drill, you'll appreciate it when you do. Check out Amazon's selection of cordless drills.
13-piece titanium-coated high-speed steel with steel case: 1/4-, 15/64-, 7/32-, 13/64-, 3/16-, 11/64-, 5/32-, 9/64-, 1/8-. 7/64-, 3/32-, 5/64-, and 1/16-inch
50-piece chrome vanadium steel 1-inch screwdriver bit set can be used with either a cordless drill or the ratcheting screwdriver included in this kit.
5-piece masonry bit set with steel case: 5/32-, 3/16-, 1/4-, 5/16-, and 3/8-inch

Great little tool kit:

We bought this tool kit because it had mostly everything in it that the average person would need for small jobs. It's also very convenient to have the carry bag which holds all the tools. We have a vacation home and we just put it in the car and take it back and forth just in case we need any tools. Before we would put a hammer and some screw drivers and the drill in a box and carry the box back and forth. This is great because everything we need is right in the bag. Great kit for the price.

great product, great price:

I can't beleive how many tools and how good the quality is for the low price I paid, $25.

Its actually not a lot of tools!:

While it may seem like a lot of tools. Its not a particularly good set. Further. Its just a bag, so you have to dump all the crap just in the bag. Its cheap and a decent gift for someone who has not set, but there are probably better ones out there.

Great for simple home use:

I wouldnt take this to the jobsite if I was a professional, but they are perfect for the general user. There are a ton of tiny bits to use witht the ratcheting scredriver base, including phillips, flat head, bolt drivers, hex drivers etc... there is also a really good set of allen wrenches (both standard and metric) and a limited number of hand wrenches. Overall the quality is good, and should stand up to the general use that this kit was designed for. Most of the tools have nice rubber grips and are easy... more info
