Throw these bits [amazon.com] in there for $30 more, and you got yourself a 920 piece set.

A bag of zip ties and box of washers to push it over 1000!

I'd consider this a 184 piece set after subtracting 96 screwdriver bits and 40 hex keys. Seems like a decent set of sockets (the hex sockets might not be super useful). If you have nothing else, you'd need to get more wrenches.

Sears and Craftsman customer service are worthless nowadays. I bought a Craftsman shop vac in which the filter nut was cross threaded from the factory. All I wanted was a replacement nut (a readily available part), but they passed me around like 4 times and just told me to ship the whole thing back, which would be a big waste of time and money. It's all outsourced to foreign countries and they just follow scripts. They don't actually use problem solving skills.

This is a nice set but has many tools that will never be used... like all those driver bits. Good gift for someone with no tools.

not even. anyone with a little bit of experience will toss the wide tooth ratchets, 12 pt sockets, not use at least half the sockets, never use 8 pt sockets(are there such a thing?), never use 3/4 of the hex keys, never use more than 90% of the screwdriver bits, and even then, will want REAL screwdrivers, still need pliers, cutters, yada, yada. maybe nice to look at, but not much real use

Yes, they are. I returned mine because of this and because it was missing 3 sockets that Sears wouldn't give me. They said I had to call craftsman, who offered a small discount on the whole set, but wouln't just send me the missing sockets.

Repped for accuracy.

This is a trash "320" pc set if you own the basics.

Bought the "90" piece recently for $40 which was a decent deal for a short car/truck set.

I had this kit for about 10 years before all the parts rusted out from abuse. Every few years I had to replace the ratchets for free and some extentions snaped but I am abusive with tools. I recently picked up the 302 PC harbor freight set and the ratchets are so much better and everything else seems to be as good of quality except the wrenches are garbage but it has many more useful tools in it. If their is a harbor freight around I would go with that set

Agreed. I have the same Craftsman kit from about 10 years ago. Recently switched to the harbor freight kit similar to this, after losing enough pieces and parts from the Craftsman kit and enough rusting out that I decided I needed a new set. The Harbor Freight kit is actually higher quality than the Craftsman kit. Which is pretty shocking. Also as unfortunate as it may be, Harbor Freight is going to be in business longer than Craftsman. Making warranty swap outs that much easier.

I mean Sears doesn't own craftsman anymore Stanley does. And they already announced tool will be on sale at Lowe's and other retailer's starting Q2 2018 and warranty exchanges will happen there too.

I'd still rather go the guaranteed route.

Lowe's sells it's own, better, Kobalt tools. I'll believe the partnership when I see it in action.

For now, I'd rather stick with HF. They're all made out of country anyways now. And the HF box that's similar to this is priced the same everyday. And it's better quality ratchets.
