Review on Starrett S565WB Diameter Kit - 8 Piece Overall by Nick Granner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good! best in hand tools

If you found this on Revain, you're probably part of a tribe and appreciate good tools. I bought them for a precision weapons project after playing around with cheap HF rock drill bit sets which made the job a lot more enjoyable. With free shipping and no taxes, these little ones are worth every penny even if like me you only use them once or twice a year. Compare the price of delivery after a few clicks and going from the couch to the fridge to traveling and buying a not-so-great set from a chain store, and it starts to make a lot of sense. The shafts are rolled very nicely and the striking tips are square and solid. The punches are easy to hold and work well. I see you have to sweat a lot to hurt one of them. I bent my share of HF hits, but that's not saying much. Also, I wanted to say that despite some complaints in the reviews below, I really like the plastic case as it keeps the dial together and upright and is easy to spot and grab. when working on the machine. I don't see what the problem is, it's functional and simple. Too bad I have to fold the case up to fit in my mechanic's drawer. I just bought a copper set in the same sizes as this set from Revain and I have no doubt they will be as good as these. Worth the money for a good tool. Buy once, cry once. Life's too short to drink cheap booze or buy cheap tools, as my eight-fingered buddy Matt always says.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
