You are never going to get exactly what you need and nothing that you don't in a larger mechanic's kit, but this one seems pretty complete, is all contained in a relatively compact box, and is cheaper than buying the pieces individually.

In a $100 set, a bit of filler is one thing. Most $100 sets have their fair share. But in a $237 set with over 50% filler, the value is significantly diminished. At this price point you have many options. The overall value of this set is not that great when considering the volume of seeds and stems in the mix.

Would you be happier if they broke it all down into the numbers of different types of tools included? Oh wait, they do...
I refer to it as filler because the actual monetary value is minimal, typically the quality is low, and the sheer volume included is clearly added to drive up the piece count and increase perceived value. I concede the hex keys can add functionality to a tool set. As can a handful of screwdriver bits and bit handle. But 175 mediocre quality screwdriver bits? Clearly added for the count total only. I consider it to be deceptive marketing and that offends me. But that is my own perspective.

I don't know the quality of these specific screwdriver bits, but it is a nice variety - even including security bits that are rarely seen, but increasingly needed, in tool kits like this.
