After receiving the S12XD 8-Drawer Tool Box and the 456-piece Intermediate Automotive Toolset, I can confidently say I am beyond satisfied with both the quality and overall aesthetics.
Tool Box
This is my first full-sized tool box, and it has not disappointed. Its sturdy construction highlights a rugged, durable design that gives me no doubt it will serve me well for years to come. The only minor issue I’ve noticed is that the bottom-most, extra-deep drawer tends to catch slightly on the left side when first opening.
Tool Set
After a thorough inspection, I’ve found very little to critique. The ratchets feel strong and well-built, while the sockets strike the right balance—durable without being overly bulky or cheap-feeling. Every hand tool reflects top-tier manufacturing standards, and the included foam organizing system adds tremendous versatility and usability to the entire setup.
Closing Thoughts
I want to personally thank everyone at Sonic and the teams who work tirelessly to put these fantastic tools into our hands. A special thank you goes to Bailey Pearson, who guided me through the VA’s red tape with patience and dedication. Bailey is a person of the highest caliber and a true advocate for veterans.
Because of this experience, I will continue to return to Sonic for all my future tool needs.”

“Integrity Over Income? You’ve Got My Business for Life.
Stopped by after Russell Building Supply didn’t have the part I needed to fix a Delta sprayer; instead of leaving me stuck, they sent me here. That’s already a win in my book when one local business supports another.
Walked into Auburn Winnelson and had the pleasure of meeting Carl. He looked over the part and told me they didn’t have it in stock, but he could order it for me. Then he said something you don’t hear often in retail anymore: “Delta has a lifetime warranty. Just call them, explain the issue, and they’ll send you a replacement.”
Let that sink in. He could’ve made the sale. Instead, he created trust.
That kind of customer-first mindset is how you earn loyalty. As a business coach, I spend a lot of time helping clients understand that long-term relationships are built not on extracting value, but on creating it. Carl embodied that perfectly.
For what could have been a $10 part, Auburn WinNelson earned all my future plumbing business. Faucets, sprayers, repairs - you name it, I’m coming back here.
Thanks again, Carl. You didn’t just solve a problem. You set the standard.”
“Scott Besong at Builders is the answer to all your problems. I can`t tell you how much he went over the top to provide top notch personalized customer service. I am so thankful for his intuition and attention to detail to help me find a unique and affordable solution to a complicated problem. He even went so far as to make multiple trips to my residence to take measurements and keep me updated throughout the process. The custom french doors look great. Thanks Again!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! Talk about customer service. They fixed a small part (that I didn't even purchase there) and wouldn't charge me for it. In the short time i was waiting, no less than 5 employees asked if I was being helped! They have an amazing selection of items to boot! Best hardware store ever!!!”
