Craftsman 154 pc. Mechanics Tool Set: $70 (Reg $150) Sears, In-store Pickup / FS

Sears has 154-piece Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set for $80 - $10 off promo code JUNE10 = $70 with free shipping. Thanks joendsu

Looks like an old deal, but the new coupon code is nice for squeezing a few more points using a rewards card online.

Thanks OP!!! I missed the other tool set sale so I jumped on this one. I am getting one for the boat and one for the truck. In for 2, reppd!

For just $10 more you can get the 200pc set. Use code june10 to bring it from 89.99 to $79.99. Much better deal IMO.

I'd definitely recommend that everyone take a look at the complete list of tools before deciding. It looks like the 200-piece set has a bigger selection of smaller sockets, but you lose out on some of the bigger ones. For instance, the 200-piece set gives you 9-13 mm sockets in a 1/2" drive, but the 154-piece set has 14-19 mm sizes in the 1/2" drive, which makes more sense for me. The only time I'd want to use a 1/2" drive would be on something big like a lug nut, which would be more like 17 or 19 mm. I can't imagine ever using a 9mm wrench in a 1/2" drive myself. The 154-piece set also gives a bigger selection of wrenches (but not as many hex wrenches, which I don't use much anyway).

Thanks, I'm starting to feel like maybe I should have gone with the 154 set since it does have the bigger sockets. I'm not concerned about the wrenches since I already have two sets, I just want the most complete set of sockets. I'll have to return this after I get it to get the other set.

Thanks for the info!

Placed an order after I checked in store these are still Made in USA boxes. I already have 3 different craftsman sets, yet I am buying this for my sons to have quality tools to use when they grow up. FP worthy. Repped!

excellent set. i have it. its full of 6 pt sockets, and not as many dupe's as other larger sets.

pair this with a good combination wrench set (metric for honda owners), and you're set.

Thanks OP. Got 4% cash back with e bates* and used some Shop Your Way reward points. This was a slick deal for father's day.

Good deal grabbed one for some repairs for my car

Now that's great parenting!

this is a really great set. i got it for $95 a couple months ago and dont regret it. replaced my friends timing belt on his 2004 xterra with only this set and a long screwdriver (for the hose clamps) and huge socket and breaker for the crank bolt. this has most of what you need for any job.

comparison: i also bought the 200pc around the same time to compare to this set and i kept this one because the 200pc had a much bigger case. if you have lots of other tools you want to add to the set, the 200pc set has more room for them. if you want more compact and lighter go with the 154pc. also the 154pc had more box wrenches which i wanted. i dont care about having 2 of every socket and hex. :p

Bought a set. Tks.
