Amazon's deals on tools have been some of the best online lately, even after its massive Black Friday sale. Everything from Gerber multi-tools to Milwaukee tire inflators and even DeWalt's super-charged batteries are on sale by as much as 50% off. But right now, there's an entire tool set from Craftsman—one of the most trusted brands in the game—that's making waves now that it's $120 off, which is its lowest price of the year.
The 262-piece Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set is now on sale on Amazon for just $129—a 48% discount on its normal $249 price. This comprehensive collection of tools has earned over 5,900 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say it's filled with "high-quality tools" and a selection that can tackle "everything you need" for at-home, mechanical, and automotive DIY projects. It's currently one of Amazon's top 5 bestselling tool sets across the entire site with over 4,000 sold in the last month alone.
This Craftsman tool set includes everything needed for projects around the house, working on cars and machines, and more. It's anchored by 72-tooth ¼-inch, ⅜-inch, and ½-inch ratchets with over 90 sizes of sockets to use with them in addition to two dozen combination wrenches, over 40 hex keys, a bit driver, and over 60 specialty bits. Each tool is made from alloy steel and they're all packed up in a well-organized three-drawer toolbox.
Shoppers who have picked this setup say it offers incredible mobile convenience. "With this Craftsman tool set, you can eliminate the back-and-forth of retrieving the correct size sockets/ratchet," a shopper said. "You can bring every ratchet/socket you might need to whatever project you're working on. It's all there and it's all organized, so it's easy to find the size you're looking for."

"Perfect for my son to do his own vehicle and power equipment maintenance. Ratchets and sockets are fundamental to any set, and this one includes a ¼-inch drive, perfect for working on small jobs like portable power equipment, up to a ½-inch drive for all of those heavy-duty jobs."
Whether it's to round out your tool collection, improve portability, or surprise an aspiring mechanic, this Craftsman tool set is one of the best you can get, especially at this price. Don't wait to get yours, though, because this is a limited-time deal and the price could go back up at any point.
