I’ve always been the type to tackle small repairs myself, but my old tools were scattered everywhere—until I got this Amazon Basics 65-piece set. The first thing I noticed? The compact case. It slides under my kitchen cabinet like it was made for it, yet holds everything from screwdrivers to pliers without feeling flimsy.

The real test came when my bookshelf decided to wobble mid-Zoom call. Grabbing the Phillips head from the kit, I tightened the screws in seconds—no frantic digging through drawers. The ergonomic handles made it easy, even with my slippery post-lotion hands. And yes, I’ve accidentally dropped the hammer twice on tile floors. Zero cracks. (The hammer survived too.)

Weekend RV trips used to mean praying nothing broke. Now, this kit lives in my camper’s narrow storage slot. When a cabinet hinge loosened during a road trip, the included sockets fixed it before my coffee got cold. Bonus: Nothing rattles while driving—each tool snaps into its molded spot like puzzle pieces.

Is it pro-level? No. But for assembling flat-pack furniture or silencing that squeaky door at 2 AM, it’s golden. My only gripe? I added a utility knife from my junk drawer because apparently, even ‘65 pieces’ has limits.
