Apollo Household Tool Sets for Every Setup and Fix-It Job

Best for
All-round home kit with a powered driver

The Apollo Tools 135 Piece Household Tool Set (DT0773N1) comes from Apollo’s pink tools line, and each purchase includes a one dollar donation to breast cancer research. Its centerpiece is a 3.6 volt lithium-ion cordless screwdriver whose head pivots from straight to a right angle, with forward and reverse, an LED and a power gauge that tells you when to recharge.

Beyond the driver, the listing names a hammer, adjustable wrench, long nose pliers, level, tape measure and precision screwdrivers “and more,” but it does not give a full item-by-item list, so you cannot confirm every piece before buying. Hand tools are drop forged and chrome plated with non-slip handles, carry a lifetime warranty, and the screwdriver has a one-year warranty. The case measures 10 x 14 x 3 inches. It suits a renter who wants one kit for assembly, hanging shelves and quick fixes.

• Pivoting dual-angle 3.6V cordless screwdriver with LED
• Hammer, adjustable wrench, long nose pliers, level, tape measure
• Heavy-duty carry case

Best for
Sockets for bikes, cars and furniture

The Apollo Tools 79 Piece SAE and Metric Tool Set (DT9411) leans mechanical. It combines SAE and metric sockets with a selection of common hand tools, and the listing pitches it for car and motorcycle work plus jobs like hanging a mirror, fixing a leaky faucet or assembling furniture.

Tools are made from 45C carbon steel or chrome vanadium steel, heat treated and chrome plated where needed, with double-dipped handles, and Apollo says they meet or exceed ANSI standards. The low-profile case keeps every piece visible, and a built-in handle makes it easy to carry. The listing does not spell out the exact socket sizes or the rest of the contents. There is no cordless screwdriver, so if most of your work is driving dozens of cam-lock screws, the 81-piece or 161-piece kits are more comfortable. If you also need a dedicated metric set for gear, a 32-piece premium metric socket set is a focused alternative.

Best for
First apartment basics without power tools

The Apollo Tools 71 Piece Complete Household Tool Set (DT0204) is a pure hand-tool kit. The listing names a large wrench, a 3-piece plier set, claw hammer, ruler, saw, pencil, metal clamps and a range of slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, including precision drivers for small screws. The screwdriver blades have magnetic tips to hold screws in place.

Everything sits in a blow-molded case with a carrying handle. The listing gives the weight as 8.32 pounds and the dimensions as 13.66 x 4.02 x 14.96 inches, so it is not the most compact option. The inclusion of a saw and clamps makes it a little more workshop-friendly than the others for small wood or craft projects, but it lacks a powered driver. Pick it if you prefer manual tools and want the basics covered.

• Magnetic-tip slotted, Phillips and precision screwdrivers
• Claw hammer, 3-piece plier set, large wrench
• Saw, ruler, pencil and metal clamps

Best for
Largest kit for wiring and wall hanging

The Apollo Tools 161 Piece Complete Household Tool Set (DT0739) is the largest kit here. It pairs an upgraded 3.6 volt lithium-ion cordless screwdriver, with two-angle adjustment, forward and reverse, LED and power gauge, with a 100-piece wall hanging kit, magnetic level, clamps, an 8.5 inch wire crimper and stripper and electrical tape.

The spec sheet lists 3.5 N m of torque, a battery life of about one hour and a charge time of four hours, so plan to top it up before a long build. Much of the piece count comes from the wall hanging hardware, which is useful if you are putting up posters, shelves or a TV backdrop. Hand tools carry a limited lifetime warranty, and the screwdriver has a one-year limited warranty. This is the kit for someone setting up a whole room, including simple lighting or cable work.

• 3.6V cordless screwdriver, 3.5 N m torque
• 100-piece wall hanging kit
• Wire crimper/stripper and electrical tape
• Case with snap-in tool holders

Best for
Tight spaces behind desks and racks

The Apollo Tools 4 Piece Stubby Tool Set (DT0240) is not a full kit but a problem solver. It includes an 8 oz stubby hammer, a PH2 x 1-1/2 inch screwdriver, a 1/4 x 1-1/2 inch slotted screwdriver and a 6 inch adjustable wrench, all built from heat-treated 45C carbon steel with double-dipped soft grips.

Short tools matter when you are reaching behind a desk, into a PC case or under a shelf where a full-length driver will not fit. The set weighs about 8 ounces, and the listing does not mention a case. It works best as an add-on to one of the larger kits rather than as your only set.

Best for
Flat-pack desks in small apartments

The Apollo Tools 81-Piece Home Tool Set (DT2020) is the newest-looking kit here, in blue and gray, and it is aimed squarely at apartments and dorms. Its 3.6V driver has a 90 degree rotating handle, 3.5 Nm of torque, 200 RPM and an LED. The listing says it uses a nonstandard battery, which is included.

The standout for furniture assembly is the bit selection: 20 driver bits covering Torx, hex, Phillips, Pozidriv and slotted, plus an extension adapter and a bit handle for manual use. Hex keys, pliers, a hammer with a non-marring cap, tape measure, level, precision screwdrivers and a picture hanging kit round it out. For a gamer building a desk, chair and shelving from flat-pack boxes, this is the most targeted pick. If you later outgrow a 3.6V driver, full-size 20V cordless power tools are the next step up.

• 20 bits for Torx, hex, Phillips, Pozidriv and slotted
• Hammer with non-marring cap
• Picture hanging kit and hex keys
