There is a fairly large number of all kinds of tool kits designed for car repairs, but there are not so many kits focused on household electrical installation and repair work. In today’s review, we will talk about the Bort BTK-30E hand tool set.

Packing and scope of delivery

The BORT BTK-30E hand tool set comes in a relatively small plastic case equipped with two locks, a la diplomat. Initially, a dust jacket was put on a plastic case, containing an image of the kit and brief information about the manufacturer of the model.

Inside the box, all the tools are fixed in special compartments. The tool is located both in the upper and lower half of the case, so that the tool does not hang between the halves, a foam pad is provided.

The delivery set contains the following items:

• Multimeter;
• Screwdriver tester;
• Flashlight;
• soldering iron;
• Solder suction;
• Measuring tape measure (3 meters);
• Adjustable wrench;
• Pliers;
• Long nose pliers 160mm;
• A hammer;
• Wire stripper;
• Stationery knife;
• A set of ten replacement blades for a stationery knife;
• A set of watch screwdrivers (4 pcs.);
• A set of hex keys (8 pcs.);
• Solder (wire);

The manufacturer promises that the tool is made of tool alloy steel with increased resistance to corrosion (chrome vanadium steel CrV).

General description of the appearance of the tool

The DT830B AC/DC digital multimeter has an LCD display. The device is capable of measuring in the range:

• Maximum alternating current up to 10A;
• Maximum AC voltage up to 1000V
• Maximum DC voltage up to 750 V;
• Resistance measurement in the range from 200 Ohm to 2000 KOhm;
• Temperature measurement in the range from 40 to 1000 ℃.

The device has a good measurement error, especially if it is taken into account that we are talking about a household measuring device.

Pliers, long-nose pliers, adjustable wrench have turquoise rubberized handles. The adjustable wrench allows you to unscrew nuts up to 28 mm in size.

The manufacturer says that CrV chrome vanadium steel was used in the manufacture of the tool.

The watch screwdriver set is equipped with ergonomic plastic handles with rubber inserts, thanks to which the tool lies comfortably in the hand and does not slip. For ease of use, the screwdrivers are equipped with a swivel head-butt plate, with a convenient recess for the finger. Also on the handle there is a hole for installing the lever.

Flathead and Phillips screwdrivers also feature ergonomic rubber grips. The butt pad is comfortable, impact resistant. The screwdriver handle has a zone for fast and precise rotation, as well as a zone for applying maximum torque. The shank of the screwdriver features “Chrome-Vanadium” lettering, and the magnetized slots have a high fastener retention force.

A set of hex keys is located in a special shipping case, which contains information about the size of the heads. On each of the keys there is also information about the size.

The LED flashlight is made of rather thin metal, it is equipped with ten LEDs and a mechanical control button covered with a rubber casing. Inside the flashlight is a container for three rechargeable batteries.

There are no complaints about the quality of the hammer, clerical knife and tape measure. All of them have a plastic case, equipped with rubber inserts.

The soldering iron has a very thin power cord, a body made of black, not too thick plastic and a removable tip.

Testing

The BORT BTK-30E hand tool set is used exclusively for household tasks, electrical work, minor repairs of household appliances, etc. We will not dwell on the work and properties of this or that tool, we will only briefly describe what we have already managed to experience in a little over two weeks of using this set.

First of all, the multimeter was tested. The device is multifunctional, but in our particular case it was used to check the mains voltage in 220 V sockets. We can say that the device works quite accurately.

Using a tester screwdriver, the phase was searched in the same sockets. Needless to say, the device easily displays a live wire. In our particular case, this was necessary in order to make sure that after the work, in all sockets, the phase is on the left wire.

A device for cleaning wires made it possible, without any particular difficulties and very carefully, to remove the insulation from wires that were not yet connected, after which the installation of sockets was carried out. Thanks to the markings on the sponges, the process progressed faster. Here I would also like to note the fact that the metal from which the device is made is very durable and well-sharpened, in the right places, while you should not count on the fact that with the help of this device it will be possible to bite the steel wire.

The flashlight is powered by three rechargeable batteries, bright enough, while its body is soft enough and does not cause a feeling of high strength. In principle, the same can be said about the suction of solder. The soldering iron, unfortunately, does not have the ability to adjust the tip temperature. Pleased with screwdrivers with magnetic slots, which perfectly hold the fasteners.

The hammer is well made and feels good in the hand. Apparently, its handle is made of plastic, with rubber inserts, for ease of use.

This set is perfect for small repairs of household appliances and electronics. The tool can be used when repairing car electronics, etc., but you should not count on the fact that with the help of the tool it will be possible to rip off hardened nuts or bolts. The tool is not designed for this.
