Review of the "Task Force" Tool Set
I had asked God for a cheaper tool set so I could get a larger set. I then walked around to the other side of the display, I found the "Task Force" tool sets.
Thinking about the phrase, "you get what you pay for" made me take caution when deciding on these sets. After I noticed the ansii sticker stating that the set is up to ansii standard, I picked out the set that looked best for me.
These tools have been put to use fixing many cars, such as "1993 Cavalier", "1982 Buick", "1992 Buick", and also a "1984 Ford F-250". They have not failed me on these projects, and are in great shape.
I did have a problem with the smaller socket wrench. The ball that is supposed to make the socket stay on it does not work, which causes the socket to fall off. My problem with this is the socket can get into very bad places, and also cause me to crawl under the vehicle to retrieve it.
Something that is great about this set, is that it has not rusted even after being rained on during different occasions. I have had to take all the tools out of the case and wipe them dry, but they have not rusted. And also the ratchets given me no trouble after getting wet.
The only thing that has gone wrong with the sets case, is the latches that lock the lid. I am able to carry it around just fine, from holding down on the handle when I carry it. This plastic case has given me a good impression over tool set cases I have seen in the past.
Because of how well the "Task Force" tool set works, and also its cheaper price, this is my tool set of choice when shopping. When looking at the price of other brands, and then looking at the price for the "Task Force", the "Task Force" looks better. Even though the other tools like "Cobalt" look nicer, the "Task Force" is much cheaper.
There are cheaper tools, and if I look at see the ansii seal on it, I could be persuaded to purchase it instead, but with the experience of using the "Task Force", I currently prefer to buy this brand.

Post a Commenttask force 18 volt cordless battery pack looks the same like one from black and decker except the location of the spring load latch/lock. what do you think?
I know at lowes where I purchased the tool set, they also sold individual sockets and wrenches. But if I was to replace a missing one, I might purchase something really nice for a replacement. It would depend on the price, but a new shiny Kobald, or even something sold at an auto store.
Where or how can I get replacement individual sockets for my set. A few have been lost not broken.
Thanks Harry
If it is just the handle, maybe you could make your own. Get creative and find a way to replace it.
where can i find parts of my table saw (knobs handle) thank
Danaher makes the "Task Force" mechanic hand tools (wrenches, ratchets, and sockets) in Asia (China and Taiwan). Danaher makes most Kobalt products in the USA but a few are also imported from China.
Danaher also owns and makes the Gearwrench brand in China. Gearwrench can be found at Lowes, Sears, Ace, and other places.
Danaher makes the evolv (and companion line being replaced by evolv) at Sears in Asia. Craftsman and Craftsman Professional in the US are made in the USA. In Canada they are made in China and Taiwan and are similar to Gearwrench.
Danaher also owns and makes the Matco (mostly US made), NAPA (US made), Armstrong brand (US made), the KD brand (some US/some China), Allen brand (US/China).
Danaher also makes many private label brands for auto part stores, ACE, and European brands like Kraftwerk and Halford.
Kobalt does NOT make Task Force. Kobalt's USA made hand tools (ratchets, sockets, etc...) are made by Danaher manufacturing... who also make Gearwrench, Craftsman and Matco tools. I work for Lowes, but have still not been able to figure out who makes "Task Force" as a google search yields NOTHING. I don't know who makes their hand tools or power tools, however, power tool accessories at Lowes branded "Task Force" are made by The Mibro Group, Inc. This includes things like power drill accessories (bits, wire brushes, etc...). But I don't know who makes Task Force ratchets socket sets.
FYI, "Kobalt" makes "Taskforce" for "Lowe's". I believe both have "lifetime warranties". Take the nonworking "rachet" handle back for an "exchange".
