Tools and Hardware Reviews of Apollo Precision Tools DT0773N1 135-Piece Household Pink Tool Kit
Customer Review: Easily Found in Their Proper Place!
Summary: 2 Stars
As a gal who can't stand waiting until my "he-men" get around to fixing things, I prefer to fix things myself. This toolbox is just OK for small things around the house. Definitely not a beefy tool box for MOST things around the house. It is PINK, a saving grace, the guys tend not to want to be caught dead carrying OR using PINK girly tools *YIPPEE*.
Gettng my drift about disappearing tools that fail to find their way back to my tool box? NOTHING is worse than having to fix something and your tools are nowhere to be found. Dumb looks and IDA, IDA KNOW, the only response you get from the assumed guilty parties. I'd like beefier tools in PINK. It would save me from hiding tools so I can find them when I need them!
I gave 2 stars because of price point... only worth less than 20 bucks.
Customer Review: Fantastic Tool Set
Summary: 5 Stars
This set is perfect! It is just as it was described to be. LOTS of tools and pretty in pink. I was so happy I even ordered the pink leather tool belt!Customer Review: For her!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my new tool kit! I mainly bought it for the pink drill, hammer, box cutter, scissors, wrench....well just about everything. I used the drill to screw a nail in the wall to hang a picture and it did the job well, and it's light weight (great for over head positions). But don't expect it to work like a Dewalt hammer drill. It's only 4.8 volts with little torque! I use the box cutter all the time because I'm constanly cutting up boxes from Amazon orders. The little screw drivers came in handy too to replace the batteries on my car remote control. It also comes with a box of extra screws nails, ect. If you are a woman in construction, or a SERIOUS do it yourselfer, this is NOT the kit for you. You will not be satisfied. Dewalt has some nice light weight tools. This kit is definately just for small stuff around the house which is a necessity. I can't count the numerous times when I wanted a light drill to assemble a desk, or shelf and I had to use a rusty old screw driver that hurt my hand. This would make a great gift for some of my girlfriends! Cute and fun and just for her! I give this kit 5 stars for the quality and its' purpose.
FOUR MONTHS LATER: I've been using my tool kit quite often. I haven't used everything, but I'll tell about what I have used.
1. Cordless drill: First let me correct myself, this is NOT a drill it's a cordless screwdriver (even thought they call it a drill). If you want a pink drill, they sell them on ebay. The origianl company is in the UK called pinktoolbox and part of the money goes to breast cancer just like the apollo line of oink tools. As fars as this cordless driver goes, I wish it had a bit more torque. But it can do light jobs. One of the many tasks I did was assemble a stand for my mother's new digital tv. I also hung up picture, ect. The bits are good.
2. Box cutter: can get annoying. I order A LOT from Amazon and I need a good box cutter to cut up the boxes for recycling and this one sucks! When I try to cut boxes with this thing, the blade rides back up into the plastic casing. Not very useful :(
3. I worry about using this hammer on any heavy project. There is a label on the hammer that reads, "This tool can be made to chip if struck against a hardened nail......". You do the math!
4. What works great: measuring tape, leveler, percision screwdrivers and scissors.
5. Have not used yet: wrench, pliers, tape and putty knife.
Again, I still love this kit even months later, but they should have made a better pink hammer and drill. I only paided 29.99, now they raised the price to 39.99. They should have raised the quality. But I still say it's a must have for women who do SMALL jobs around the house. This kit gets used A LOT. It's sooooo handy and I'm glad I bought it!
Customer Review: Fun Basic Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
Some tools like the hammer and screw driver are miniature, and won't hold up with normal wear on big projects, but this is a great starter kit. It saved me a lot of money on getting started on my DIY and basic home projects, and proved to be very handy and compact. Great to keep under the kitchen sink for little projects instead of hunting in the garage for the right tools. Great Dad gift for Daughter leaving home.Customer Review: GREAT FOR 88 YR OLD
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 88 YR OLD MOTHER. SHE LIKES TO DO THINGS FOR HERSELF BUT HANDS BOTHER HER SOME. AND FINDING THINGS IN THER KITCHEN DRAW IS FRUSTRATING. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE AND EASY TO FIND.
