I do not believe I have seen anyone else post this so I thought I would share what I stumbled into this morning.
I can not attest to the quality of this tool set and I have also read that it is not completely compatible with the entire Craftsman Versastack line; something about certain boxes in the lineup can not go on-top of it without modification. Other than that it does have a decent lineup of sockets; not perfect but good.
If you have bought into the Versastack ecosystem already then this is a great opportunity to add another piece to your collection. I am aware (since I have been trying to monitor it) that it was this price back around Black Friday but I don't believe I have seen it hit this price since then, I am not willing to bet even a penny on that statement though
Here is a link to a review (no affiliation to me) that has good pictures of the set

You may be able to add a 10 off $50 or $20 off $100 coupon with a filler if those are still around. Making the price $89.99 or $80.00 (approx).
Happy shopping!
PS. long time lurker first time poster; thanks everyone for posting a ton of great deals.

First observations:
-/+ Lighter than I thought it would be
+ All the drawers are completely removable, makes things easier.
+ The 3/8" set is quite nice when you factor in all the sockets in the 1/4".
+ 1/2" socket wrench has nice feel to it even though compared to old school socket wrenches this ones is on the light side.
- The 3/8" to 1/4" socket adapter I took a double take on... almost felt like it was plastic (super light); still not 100% convinced it isn't. None of the other pieces feel like that though.
- - - - Zero organization for the wrenches they basically just have some open space to throw them in; that I was quite disappointed in; I thought for sure there would be some little trick for them. I think they are going to find a new home and i'll put their current home to use with some random sockets and flexible extensions that I have.
Basically the set is just okay if you didn't have anything before and gets bumped up quite a few notches if you are already invested in the Versastack system; which I am. I am actually a Versastack and Tstak person now. The deep drawers from Tstak really add a lot to the Versastack system's versatility, also the Tstak dolly is a nice thing to bring into the mix as well.
Overall I like the mobile tool storage system that all the companies are doing; it is easy to break up into manageable pieces to take to various locations and that was a big reason I picked up this set; it combines well into it the package (obviously). I was tempted to go another route but it does look good together.
Would I go all in on the Versastack and Tstak systems again if I could have a reset.... the answer is more than likely no, it isn't that they are bad but there is other options. I have some mods in mind to make it a little better but if I were starting over I would switch up and go with this company that I found recently (no affiliation) https://www.auer-packaging.com/gb...s-Pro.html or win the lottery and get the high end Snap-on aviation/industrial tool sets
Best of luck with the deal hunting everyone!

The fact that I didn't is making me not want to jump on this, but even at 100$ it seems like a good deal. Can someone who has personal experience with this set attest for its value ?
