DEKO DKMT168 (065-0220)

Love at first sight

Acquaintance with the DEKO DKMT168 set usually begins with feeling the box and clicking with the tongue. The suitcase is made of good plastic and has a solid construction with numerous stiffening ribs in the form of an "ornament" on the lid. Carrying such a case is very convenient (despite the fact that the set is heavy — as much as 6 kg), because the handle is rubberized and has protrusions for fingers. The lid closes with secure latches. All the tools that are inside sit very tightly in their seats and do not fly out of them even when shaking.

Abundance and variety of instruments

Among the 168 items included in the set, there is everything you need to make crafts or do minor repairs at home. The variety of wrenches is impressive: in addition to adjustable and adjustable, there are six combined ones (on the one hand open-end, on the other — ring). Separately, there is a set of 9 imbus keys in its own case. 22 end heads (4 – 19 mm), a candle head, three adapters and landing squares of two standard sizes are packed into their niches. The ratchet has a solid and reliable mechanism (cheaper sets from other manufacturers sometimes come with hack work). The magnetic bit holder also has a built-in ratchet. It comes with 28 bits of different sizes (those that are more authentic will also fit a screwdriver). You can turn the screws with ordinary screwdrivers. There are a lot of them in the set: two long ones, two short ones and five precision ones (for working with small electronics).

A significant part of the box is occupied by a larger tool: a 400-gram "English" type hammer (with a nail puller and a round head), pliers with thin-nosed pliers, a stripper for stripping wires and cables, a small level in a built-in magnet (can be stuck on metal surfaces), a compact saw with spare blades for sawing wood and plastic, as well as four clamps designed to clamp parts or workpieces during processing. In addition to them, in the suitcase there is a “new settler's dream” box with a set of dowels and small fasteners, a set of nylon ties, a roll of electrical tape and a tape measure with a latch and a clip.

Quality in everything

DEKO DKMT168 is one of the best home tool kits you can buy for a reasonable price (under $70). It is very high quality for this price range. All metal elements are made of good durable steel that does not rust. The handles of most of the tools included in the set are two-component (plastic plus rubberized grips). The space inside the case is perfectly organized: everything is conveniently located, all seats for the instrument are signed and numbered. This set is a great gift for anyone who likes to craft at home or in the garage.
