While the majority of sets on this list are comprised of hand tools, we would be remiss to exclude one of the best DeWalt tool kits. The DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Set includes a cordless drill for all sorts of day-to-day jobs, while the impact driver is for larger renovations when a cordless drill isn't powerful enough. This set also includes two batteries, a charger, and a storage bag, so it's a complete set.

This product has a high 4.7-star rating from over 58,000 reviews. Impressively, 86% rate it 5 stars. Many reviewers say the tools are reliable, with one explaining, "I've had the cordless drill and impact driver going on five years and they both are powerful tools. I used these when building my privacy fence and for hanging an 80lbs heavy bag." They continued, "The regular drill is powerful in itself, but the impact driver will get what the regular drill couldn't drill through." It's the set to buy for bigger jobs, when hand tools just aren't enough.

The Cartman 39 Piece Tool Set is an excellent balance between a decent number of tools and a compact size.

This is all contained in a smartly laid-out plastic toolbox that's small enough to tuck in a junk drawer or car trunk.

This product has 4.7 stars overall from over 37,000 reviews, and over 80% of reviewers rate it 5 stars. One reviewer explained, "Each tool in this set is extremely sturdy and well made. The metal core of these tools and the strong rubber grip will ensure that they last for years and years to come." Reviewers really enjoy that this set has just enough tools to make it versatile, but not too many that it's bulky. While the tools aren't necessarily the top-of-the-line, it's an excellent starter kit for most people.

The Cartman 148 Piece Automotive and Household Tool Set is a more comprehensive kit, if the 39-piece set from the brand doesn't quite have enough.

This set also has 4.7 stars, based on 20,000 reviews, and with around 80% rating it 5 stars. It offers extremely good value for the amount of tools included, and one reviewer said, "This toolkit has everything necessary to look after household repairs to simple car repairs! The measuring tape is an additional benefit that I've used exhaustively." Some reviewers say that the case feels cheaply made and it can be a hassle to get the tools back into place, but most are happy with the tools themselves.

The Amazon Basics Household Tool Kit is a medium-sized set that balances a decent amount of tools in a compact case. With 142 pieces, it includes a lot of necessary tools, without being as big and bulky as some of the 200-piece tool kits on this list.

Based on around 4,000 reviews, this product has 4.7 stars overall and 84% give it 5 stars. A reviewer called it a "great tool set for the inside of the house! Has everything one may need for quick fixes or projects, yet doesn't include cluttered items that you don't. Good quality, functional tool layout in a well built case."

DIYers who want an extra-large kit might consider the Prostormer 259-Piece Tool Kit. Like other sets on this list, it has everyday tools like a hammer, screwdrivers, measuring tape, and pliers. However, it also has a small saw and clamps to help tackle some more personalized projects, rather than just quick repairs.

Reviewers rate this product favorably, giving it 4.6 stars overall from overall 4,500 reviews, with just shy of 80% giving it 5 stars.

The Dekopro 228 Piece Hand Tool Kit is the second kit on this list from the brand Dekopro. Unlike the kit above though, this one doesn't include a cordless drill, but it has a few other hand tools to make it a more versatile set. As expected from one of these large tool kits, this one has a hammer, measuring tape, utility knife, pliers, screwdriver set, and hex keys. But instead of the cordless drill, it has a small saw, a level, and a ratchet set. It doesn't offer the power of a cordless drill, but it does offer more versatility with its larger variety of hand tools.

Based on over 7,500 reviews, this product has 4.6 stars overall, with 78% of shoppers rating it 5 stars. One repeat buyer explained, "I needed to start over with everything.

It seems to be of a great quality ... the tools do not wear down during use." A repeat purchase is a great sign.

The King Tool 325 Piece Home Repair Tool Kit has the most pieces on this list, stored in a robust two-level storage box with a drawer. Though it's the largest by number, it shares similarities to other kits on this list, comprised of basic hand tools like a hammer, wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, hex keys, pliers, and DIY accessories, which includes a measuring tape and two 80-piece fastener sets. These two fastener sets contribute a lot to its high total, inflating its tool count. However, it also makes it an excellent kit for hanging and mounting jobs.

Reviewers happily rate this kit 4.6 stars from over 2,500 reviews, with 78% giving it 5 stars. A commenter explained, "Maybe I went into this set with low expectations but I'm very surprised at the quality of the tools and the completeness of the included tools. It's a well thought out, well-designed, well-made kit. We bought it to have a backup tool set at a second home and I didn't expect much from it but I'm shocked at how useful it is for pocket change." 

The tool sets on this list were selected and ranked based on both their overall star rating and number of reviews. As some of the top sellers on Amazon, the products on this list have anywhere from 2,000 to over 50,000 reviews.
