Mastercraft Electrical Home Repair Tool Set, 5-pc

These tools a high quality. You can feel from the weight of them in your hands that they are sturdy, ergonomically comfortable, and will last the test of time so that they can be passed down to the next generation. Also additional points for including the two AAA batteries needed for the voltage detector!

The tool set is okay for light home use, but its pretty basic. The tools work fine for small electrical repairs, though they dont feel very heavy-duty. The handles are comfortable enough, but the quality isnt quite what I expected from Mastercraft. Its decent if you just need something for quick fixes, but if you plan to use it often, you might want to invest in a more durable set. The carrying case is a nice touch, though a bit flimsy. Overall, average quality for the price.

I received the Mastercraft Electrical Home Repair Tool Set, 5-piece, for free in exchange for an honest review. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The tools feel sturdy and well built, with comfortable grips that make them easy to use for small electrical jobs around the house. Ive used the set for things like tightening outlets, installing light fixtures, and basic wiring checks, and everything performed really well. Its also nice that it comes in a compact case so it stays organized and easy to find. Overall, its a solid starter set for anyone doing light home repairs, and Id recommend it based on my experience so far.

Its good to have a set of tools for small repairs, I didn't have all the tools I need though, I like the idea of the detector for power testing but this unit was flimsy and the clip broke when i was putting the batteries in. The blade was ok but not strong enough as well. I just found the set too limited and would need more tool variety for the jobs I do at home. I like having a starter set, I just feel I would need more tools like strong needle nose plyers and a screwdriver.

I used this Mastercraft electrical tool set for a home project (removing an ugly ceiling track light - mission accomplished!) and I'm really impressed with the quality for the price point (50 bucks at Canadian Tire not bad at all!). What I love: The pliers have feel substantial in your hands. As someone who appreciates good pliers, these definitely deliver on durability. The cable splicer blade is sharp and well-made (maybe a little too sharp - I can already tell I'll probably nick myself at some point, but that's user error, not a design flaw!) The wire stripper was new territory for me, but it handles both 10-20 AWG solid wire and 12-22 AWG stranded wire. I have no clue what those ranges actually mean, but it seems to cover all the bases for typical home electrical work. The ergonomic handles with the double-injected grip are surprisingly comfortable - they remind me of high-end cuticle cutters, if that makes sense! Non-slip and easy to grip even when you're working in awkward positions (and believe me, work like this Im finding myself in awkward after awkward position hands all over the place and a couple extra ones needed lets just say Im not a natural with home projects). The molded zipper case is a nice perk too because instead of these tools getting lost in the black hole that is my husband's massive toolbox, everything stays organized and easy to find. Safety note: Even though the set includes a tester to check if wires are live, I still turned off the breaker before starting work. Better safe than sorry when it comes to electricity! The tools performed exactly as expected with no issues. Bottom line: This is a solid, well-made set that's perfect for DIY electrical projects. Now I just need to actually buy a replacement ceiling light so guests can use that room again... oops! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to tackle basic electrical work around the house. But please, remember, when working on electrical, power down and test before you touch!
