The WorkPro Kitchen Drawer 100-Piece Tool Kit costs less than $30 but comes with dozens of useful tools and hardware in a lightweight soft-shelled carrying case.
For those of you paying close attention, yes, you're correct — this is not actually the lowest priced tool kit on our list, it's the second-lowest priced. But considering it comes with more than twice as many items as the most inexpensive set, the WorkPro Kitchen Drawer 100-Piece Tool Kit represents the lowest cost in relative terms.
This kit has all the basics you'd rightly expect to find here, such as a claw hammer, needle-nose and standard pliers, a wrench, and multiple screwdriver bits. It also has four precision screwdrivers, great for working with electronics (even if that just means removing the battery casing) or for repairing eyeglasses. The 9-inch magnetic level features three vials, allowing for accurate positioning and easy reading.
All of the many components of the kit tuck away into a lightweight but durable soft-sided storage pouch that, as the name suggests, can fit into a drawer with ease. As for those 40 cable ties (AKA zip ties), you'll be amazed at just how often they prove useful, from cord management to a stopgap plumbing repair to helping support plants in the garden.
In a comprehensive review, the team from The Wirecutter called this kit a high-quality choice, noting its "soft case with straps that hold the tools securely in place" and the singling out the well made adjustable wrench.
Pros: Great price point, lightweight well made case, includes precision screwdrivers
Cons: Short tape measure, hammer too light for some uses
