Looks very similar to ~300 piece Kobalt set I picked up on clearance at Lowe's a few years ago for $79. I would bet most of the difference in piece count comes down to the oodles of screwdriver bits (triples of some sizes) that came with my set. It's been a great set with my only minor gripe being the toolbox isn't great. Well worth $99 for this set though.

I was thinking the same thing. I grabbed a few at $79 and gave them as Christmas Gifts.

What's better this one or the one at home depot? Same price

If you're working in tight spaces, you'll benefit from Kobalt's 90-tooth ratchets. The Husky set comes with 75-tooth ratchets.

FYI, 84 sockets in the Craftsman set, 117 sockets in the Lowes (Kobalt) set and 148 the Home Depot (Husky) set.
(I had the wrong set for Craftsman. See my updated comparison later in this thread. (page 8) Other set has 111 sockets. )

Every time this is posted I get on to say I picked this up last year during the price glitch for $37. Probably my single best slick deal to date.

this set is not bad for the price. tools are decent quality (maybe a shade lower quality than the dewalt set i use at work) but overall i like the kobalt typecase better. my dewalt tools are almost impossible to get out individually (I have th pry them out with a screwdriver).

I picked up 3 last year during that price mistake. It's a nice set. I just ordered another, even at $99 it's a good deal.

Anyone else have an issue where none of Lowes pictures load on mobile? I have an S10 and the pictures either don't load or load gray. It happens at Lowes and nowhere else.

Anyone have experience on this Kobalt line vs Husky? I know the difference in tooth count on the ratchet, but more interested in overall quality of the set.

Get a bigger truck. I have no trouble loading anything in my Silverado.

Same here. I grabbed a few sets and have been gifting to people that need it. One more is being gifted this holiday season then I think I may keep the last one for myself even though I already have other tool sets.
