Ford launched the F-150 Lighting electric pickup truck earlier this year to great fanfare. The F-150 line is a best-seller and a hugely important nameplate for the company. Getting the electric model right was key, and with anticipation high, it seems Ford achieved that. Now, it seems eager future owners […]

Tekton’s 45-Piece Mechanic’s Tool Set Review
What does built to last mean, exactly? While proper care and regular maintenance help you get more out of your appliances, automobiles, and furniture, some products are manufactured better than others. This should be the reason to purchase a decent set of tools, right? That’s easier said than done, however. […]
Stanley Hex Key Set Review
Getting After It With the Stanley Hex Key Set Good: The cases open to get a key out but still solidly hold each in place. Bad: The sizes of the keys on the cases are in a minuscule font. Check Latest Price ($24.10, at the time of writing on Amazon) […]
Workpro’s 39-Piece Tool Set Review
At some point or another, your tool bag or box becomes unmanageable. A system that’s well-suited for everything is made, more tools are added, and then you find yourself in the middle of a scrapyard on a hot July day, facing the reality that you need to carry those tools […]
Crescent 20-piece X10 3/8-inch Ratchet And Socket Set Review
Toolboxes are rarely exclusive to a single brand. Over the years, you learn which company is good for what, and we tend to stick to that name for that specific toolset. For example, Crescent Tools is known for its adjustable wrenches. If you need one for your home toolbox, that’s […]
EPAuto 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch Socket Set with Pear-Head Ratchet Review
Are you better off saving money on tools or parts? Without talking about junkyard goodies and secondhand tools, we’d say you should invest your money in high-quality parts if your budget only allows for one or the other. It’s better to have your ratchet skip a couple of teeth than […]
GEARWRENCH 68 Pc. 1/4″ & 3/8″ Drive Socket Tool Set Review
Becoming known as a brand that offers professional-quality tools at affordable prices, GearWrench has been increasing in popularity in recent years.

Performance Tool W30504 114pc Mechanic’s Tool Set Review
Would you rather have a considerable expense now and save money in the long run or save cash now but spend more over time? Taking the hit up front is the choice most sane people make. Still, there’s no shortage of low-cost, gimmicky products that take advantage of those who […]
Neiko 02448A 1/2″ Drive Master Impact Socket Set Review
Even the fabled John Henry would’ve struggled to keep up with modern impact tools. Sorry, John, but monstrosities like Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel High-torque Impact Wrench are light-years beyond what the human body can do. So, even if your chrome sockets can withstand the power your sick pythons bring to the […]
DeWalt 108-piece Mechanic’s Tool Set Review
I may not adore DeWalt power tools as much as Guides and Gear’s Executive Editor Jonathon Klein does his precious Milwaukee impact wrench named after Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir, but they have only been good to me. My black and yellow drill and angle grinder have taken more abuse than they […]
Craftsman 40-Piece Mechanic’s Tool Set Review
Everyone I knew growing up used Craftsman tools. That’s probably because it’s what their parents used, and it makes sense to put your trust in the tools you’ve watched others have good luck with. Unfortunately, if you’re in my age group you didn’t have the opportunity to invest in a […]
