The hammer handle has a rubber pad at the bottom. The handle itself is made of durable material. There are no complaints about the quality of workmanship.
In general, the tool has good workmanship, if you can still find fault with a tape measure, plastic cases and screwdriver handles, then the heads, wrenches and ratchets are made of very high quality.
The case is convenient and practical. It has rather large overall dimensions, the handle is rubberized. Inside the box, the internal space is competently organized, the tool does not hang or fall out.
Exploitation
First of all, the quality of the sockets, ratchets and keys was evaluated, because it is this tool that will be subjected to the greatest load. It is on this tool that they pay the most attention when buying a tool set.
In order to test the quality of the ratchet heads and wrenches, various tests related to the unscrewing of the wheel nuts on the car were carried out. First, with the help of a ratchet, the nuts were unscrewed, after which, using the Greenworks GD24IW400 brushless cordless impact wrench, the nuts were screwed back on. Overall, I didn’t have any difficulties with this task, but it’s important to remember that the tool included in the Bort BTK-89U kit is not designed to work with a percussion instrument, so I won’t overuse these recommendations. .
With the help of small ratchets and heads, I tightened all the nuts on the furniture in the home.
With the help of open-end wrenches, several hardened and tightened nuts were unscrewed and screwed on.
With the help of side cutters and cutting edges of pliers and long-nose pliers, various pieces of steel wire were torn out of the grid intended to form the frame for the formwork. The quality of the tool material did not disappoint, no traces remained, and the cutting edge coped with the task without much difficulty.
I don’t see the point in dwelling on details about checking the quality of the remaining delivery set, because the tools are not designed for a lot of effort and do an excellent job of serving their intended purpose.
