The most important consideration when selecting a hand tool set is whether it's durable enough to withstand heavy use and keep its tools together. Look for sturdy construction, especially at the joints of pliers and in the quality of sockets and hex keys, and consider how many pieces you'll actually need from a kit. You might be tempted by a large number of pieces when shopping, but remember that a hex key and socket count as one piece, and some sets offer fewer than 100 tools total.

While specialty sets like a woodworking tool set are great for certain projects, a general tool kit is the best choice for most home improvement and DIY tasks. Depending on what you're planning to do, you might need additional tools, such as a ratchet for tightening bolts or a torpedo level for hanging picture frames. These are available separately, but can save you money when bought with a complete tool set. In addition, they're usually smaller and lighter than a single large tool. We recommend evaluating the size and weight of a hand tool set to see how it fits into your garage or tool box before purchasing. It's worth the extra cost to save space and weight when you can.
