Prime Day 2024 is coming up next week, but if you’re a DIYer (or you’re shopping for one), you’re in luck: Tons of deals have already gone live on everything from belt sanders to replacement batteries. It's not just power tools though, one of Amazon's most popular socket wrench sets was also just marked down to $20 ahead of the big sale, and it's one of the best deals we've seen so far.
The Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set is on sale right now for $20 on Amazon—a 43% discount on its normal price tag of $35. This versatile socket wrench set has earned over 1,000 five-star ratings from satisfied customers who say it's a "must-have" for getting into tight spaces. This early Prime Day deal is sending shoppers into a buying frenzy—over 5,000 were sold last month on Amazon—and it’s now a top five bestselling tool set on the entire platform.
Craftsman 20-Piece Mechanics Tool Set, $20 (was $35) on Amazon
This ratchet tool set makes an ideal starter kit or a great complement to an existing tool lineup, filling in gaps if some of your sockets have gone missing. It features everything you need to start wrenching, including a ratchet and both metric and SAE sockets. The quarter-inch drive size gives the set great versatility—it’s relatively compact, but still brawny enough for automotive work and other heavy-duty household chores. The ratchet features a low-profile head design, so it can fit into small spaces, and its 72-tooth ratchet mechanism allows for quick engagement and precise turns. Every piece wears a durable full-polish chrome finish, and the whole set comes neatly arranged in a hard plastic storage case.
Reviewers have flooded this set with positive feedback thanks to its superb build quality and the convenient storage case. "Finally replacing a Craftsman hand-me-down ratchet set my family had since the '90s—still works perfectly just missing a few sizes and the carrying case is really beat up," one shopper said. "This feels just as good and has just the essential sizes all in a nice little case that's easier to store." Another shopper agreed, simply stating it's an "amazing kit."
Even with all its parts, the set itself has a svelte size, and with its sturdy case, many reviewers kept it in a car or used it as a travel toolset. One reviewer even called it the “perfect little travel set when you don’t want to carry the whole collection.”
From assembling Ikea furniture to rebuilding a transmission, socket wrenches make all kinds of jobs (big and small) easier, and the Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set will be a welcome addition to any tool lineup. Just make sure to act fast, because this limited-time deal will disappear soon.
