Why We Love This Deal
Labor Day is supposed to be a day off for workers, but plenty of DIYers and amateur mechanics will spend it working on their houses and cars. So it’s only right that the best tools to do their work, specifically a comprehensive mechanics tool set, would be nearly $30 off as part of Amazon’s Labor Day sale.
The Craftsman 105-Piece Mechanics Tool Set is just $70 at Amazon right now, a 29% discount from its normal $99 price tag. It’s a comprehensive ratchet, socket, screwdriver, and hex key set that’s earned over 400 five-star ratings and reviews that call it “high quality,” “durable,” and “solid,” a worthy addition to anyone’s arsenal of tools.

What Shoppers Are Saying
“I am a handyman and like to do my own repairs on vehicles, lawn care equipment, [and around the] house,” one customer wrote. They decided to replace a mish-mash of random tools with a high-quality set. “I invested in Craftsman tools for the lifetime guarantee,” they wrote, adding that they also liked “how easy it is to get a replacement if needed.” In the end, they “couldn’t be happier with the quality, price, and peace of mind” that comes with this set.
Another customer, a self-described “serious DIYer, woodworker, and shade tree mechanic,” wrote that “the case is solid and does not appear to be cheap in construction” after surviving a few drops. “The tools themselves are solid in feel,” they added, and this “kit is a decent, solid collection of tools that travels (by car) easily and has worked fine.”
Even if you do spend Labor Day doing absolutely no labor, you’ll be happy to have a Craftsman 105-Piece Mechanics Tool Set when you need to get stuff done in the future. It’s a comprehensive, reliable set of tools backed by a powerful warranty, and it’s more than worth picking up with this substantial Labor Day discount, one that won’t last long.
