Walmart is selling a nearly $400 tool set for just $162, and shoppers say it's 'perfect' for mechanics and DIYers

This month has been host to a ton of special deals on hand and power tools from DeWalt, Craftsman, and Milwaukee thanks to Amazon Prime Day 2024, but one of the best discounts you'll find is hiding in plain sight at Walmart. Recently, a massive tool set that shoppers are using for everything from fixing their cars to home DIY projects dropped in price by more than $225—and it even comes in a shiny lockable chest.

The Workpro 408-Piece Mechanics Tool Set is now on sale at Walmart for just $162—a 58% discount on the normal $390 price. This well-equipped tool kit is popular, having earned nearly 150 five-star ratings from Walmart shoppers who say it's the "perfect tool set for home use," whether working on projects around the house or under the hood of the car. It comes in two sizes—a 125-piece and a 408-piece set—but the larger set is a far greater value with a more comprehensive lineup of tools.

This tool set is everything a DIYer, homeowner, or at-home car tinkerer needs to complete any project in front of them. It includes all the essentials, including screwdrivers and bits, a hammer, and a tape measure, but it has an impressive variety of ratchet handles, sockets, and wrenches as well—likely every size needed around the house. This kit is also housed in a lockable metal toolbox that features sliding drawers and nesting spots for each tool.

Those who have brought this tool kit into their homes have been impressed with its depth and quality, especially for the price. "Truly impressed," a shopper said. "Considering the price, I expected lower-quality tools. However, I am genuinely impressed with both the quality and quantity of the set." Another shopper agreed, saying, "Everything needed in a home tool set and the case is so much nicer than most."

Many shoppers also found that this kit makes a great gift. "Perfect gift for a new homeowner," a shopper stated. "My nephew is a new homeowner and was busy trying to assemble some Ikea purchases but did not have any tools, so I got him this as a gift. It has all the basic tools and then some to equip him to do the many tasks ahead. The tools seem sturdy and fit perfectly in the metal storage box. Just the perfect size too because storage right now is minimal."

Whether you're looking to fix up parts of the house or a classic car in the garage, having a well-fleshed-out tool set like this one from Workpro will help you do it without having to take extra trips to the hardware store. If it's the right size for your project, pick one up soon, because it's unclear how long the discount will last.
