but otherwise happy so far

Excellent/important tool kit. I had to bend the handles to fully close the tool, but other than that I'm happy with it so far.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some bugs

I see 6, but what difference does it make when there are seven.

This kit somewhat overcompensates and I think it's a competition. It's hard to keep up with all the tools OTC offers in this set but as it comes with a case, good luck with any complaints from me. Covers almost every situation.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Some issues

Includes OTC 4525: Power and Hand Tools

I ordered this kit along with the OTC 4525 to have a complete setup. Well 4496 as it was delivered unexpectedly it contained 4525. I checked the OTC website and 4525 is not listed for this kit but the case label lists 4525 as part of the kit so be aware you are getting an extra Bonus can get if you order this. Anyway, all the brackets look great. The case is excellent, the build quality is excellent.

Pros
  • These Are Amazing Little Things

OTC again for the win!

Excellent set. Had to skip the VW 2.0 TSI engine and needed a cylinder head replacement. I just swapped out the turbo. Well, this OTC plier set was a life saver. The repair required removing inlet and outlet pipes and some occasional smaller hoses. They did a great job and I don't think there was a pair of pliers I didn't use. And yes, this set also includes a cable wrench, which was VERY handy. There may be more reliable kits out there, but this kit is well put together, especially for the DIY
