good review, I’m looking at this set, like you, I’m not big on the use of plastic latches. So I’m thinking, maybe employ a 1" wide ratchet or lashing strap when carrying the set from place to place? this would solve the risk of everything spilling out if one of the plastic bits gives up the ghost…
Just got this set for 99.99 out the door homedepo had to buy it immediately
For the price I paid for husky mechanic tool set, I m very impressed with the quality of tools.
Čiji mde in proizvođač države .
Grabbed it by the handles and it all fell apart on me
$139 at Home Depot during Black Friday of 2021!
HD has this set for $179+ tax right now. My Craftsman tools are 40 years old with some of the needed sizes missing. I’m seriously considering this tool set.
Just bought a newer version of this kit with a new designed box for $99 out of $250 it’s a good box
they need to make one of these for the rolling tool box set
the only thing missing is extension is swirl joint.
2:58 sounded like a colt single action lol
I just walked out of Home Depot with this set. $149 Black Friday. While I was standing in line at the register I found your video. And between your product review and the number of positive comments here, I knew it was a good decision. Thanks to all.
Its really disappointing that every time you look at products now everything is being made of bloody plastic its horrible .

Olá qt custa essa maleta com frrramentas?desde ja obrigado
Just got this today, purchased it $99 off for a whopping $109 sale. I’ve never owned husky tools before but for $100 I feel like this is a great value. I believe the sale is still on. I’m sure I’ll be trying out the lifetime warantee on a t45 torx bit eventually, I have never not broken one
so if that lasts I’ll be thrilled
Great video. My friend has this set but the drawers are in red and the sockets on the first drawer (from top) interfere with the drawer’s housing when he tries to close that drawer (I think so small sockets are too tall for that drawer. Also box latches do jot click strongly when closing them. Are these issues normal? Thank you.
It is awesome that this set features a 1/4" to 3/8" socket adapter. Those are almost never included in these sets. I have had to buy them separately and toss them into my travel kits. Of course, the problem you have with most of these tool sets that come in blow-molded cases is that there’s no room for extras, so I also travel with a small tool bag into which I put the stuff not already found in the factory set. It is so cool that this set has a place to put extensions, etc, in that middle drawer.
I want to buy one. How can you help me?
I think your supposed to use the top handle to prop up the lid when it’s open
Would be nice if you got rid of the filler bits and just included a few more sockets
Fuck husky this tool box is a electrical conductor remove a 10mm bolt and it started sparking and glowing instantly as soon as the the socket made contact with the bolt suing tf outta husky
Those are the most popular tools to buy.
I wish they made an all metric set, no 6 point, added a pair of knipex cobra style pliers, pistol grip needle nose and a 10 in adjustable wrench.
Oh dear Santa oh how much I want the husky 290 pc mechanic tool set for Christmas
Thanks for comprehensive review. Will be buying this set over kobalt
I just hate how they skip sizes
I saw one at the pawnshop for $99 I had to get it. It was complete too
I got mine for $99

No torx sockets
I hate when people call torx bits "star bits"
That was a nice review. This is not a set I would buy, even just as a portable set. It is too heavy on the SAE sizes and the metric selection is poor, even trying to hit the most common ones. This is not suited for newer cars, although the bits on the top, especially the torx, are nice. The cars I typically work on are year 2000+, and I rarely ever reach for SAE sizes. I most often use SAE sizes on performance parts on my Camaro, or on tools like pullers…. which is a bit out of scope for a set like this. Another item which most sets overlook are lug nut sockets.
Very nice tool kit. How much price of this tool kit in Indian rupees. And where are this tool kit available in India.
I just have a problem with the latches being made of plastic. Just seems like the 1st thing that will break and all my tools will go everywhere crashing down to the ground when I am carrying it around. Not sure if that is a very good idea on Husky’s part putting that in.
These brands really need to stop cheaping out with the plastic latches, that shits pathetic.
Star……..torx….
How much for that set of socket rench on the video? I am interested .
Love this set but wish it came with pliers and adjustable wrenches
Old school mechanic here, I purchased the husky 290pc set to see what the hype is about. Got to say quite disappointed. The only good thing was that I got it on sale for $129.99. When I did an overview of the wrenches & sockets. Was very disappointed, who ever decided to to put 12pt & 6pt in the mix, did it entirely wrong. The metric & SAE set up with sockets of 12pt & 6pt were wrong. So what I did was gutted the whole sockets & wrenches from the tool box and restart fresh. For the Metric I went with 12pt, & for the SAE I went with 6pt. For wrenches I went with Gearwrench Metric 12pt ratcheting wrenches, and Olsa 6pt SAE ratcheting wrenches which by the way fit perfectly in the molded slots. For Metric sockets deep & shallow I went with Gearwrench in 1/2, 3/8, & 1/4. And for the SAE I went with Tekton 6pt sockets deep & shallow in 1/2, 3/8, & 1/4. Which both brand name sockets fit perfectly in the molded slots. For my drive ratchets, I went with Tekton 90th 1/2in & 3/8in release button drive ratchets. And for my 1/4in drive ratchet I went with Gearwrench 120xp.which also fit well in the molded slots. As far as the long compartment were the allen bits are stored, I removed those and went with Gearwrench 20pc extension set & the Husky 100th 3/8 locking flex head drive ratchet. Which fit perfectly in that compartment space. Overall best tool organization set up for me, but hay that’s just my opinion. But overall cool review.
I like the tool set but not too crazy about the box.
$149 during black friday deals. I have the older version and this one is now for my truck and the other one is for the garage
Hi there mate how do I get it if I’m in the uk because your link won’t let me access it
Don’t mean to be critical, it’s SAE not English. These are pretty good tools. I have a set that I used to work on my Backhoe and they hold up fine but I don’t use them every day.
I’ve had mine for over two years. I use it all the time, and recently bought the smaller 270 piece kit to keep in my truck. These are good hand tools, with a lifetime warranty. When my dad saw the 290 set, he said it reminded him of the old craftsman sets. This is not a replacement for a full on roller cart, but can keep you going in a tight spot.
Thanks so much for the video
What the difference between the 290 and 270 tool set?
This tool set been calling me for a couple of weeks ! I mean what a great deal. ! It’s begging you to buy him. !!!
Thank you
