Descent set for the money. If you take care of your things. This set will last you a lifetime. I've been working on cars for over forty years. I have some top brand tools like Snap-On, Cornwell and Matco. Even though Craftsman tools are made in China these days. You still can't get more value for your money. By the way if someone wants a descent tool cart to put these in for the money,. You can not go wrong with the

30 In. 5 Drawer Mechanic's Cart from Harbor Freight. They have them on sale now for 199.00 A really nice tool cart, well built for the price.
Make sure you remove the 10 mm socket before giving the set to him. This way he understands the struggles of life lol 😂 #LifeLessons
Good day everyone So this one or this one? https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMA...5000183143

Keep trying! It just went back into stock, low stock, mind you, but I was able to get another one just now...
Yeah I left the page up and refreshed throughout the day. Some just came in stock and I was able to buy a 20 off 100 coupon online quick and added a $1.18 screwdriver for filler. $85 shipped after taxes.

Looks OOS.

Is this set significantly worse? Same price but includes an actual tool box.

Just came back in stock for me and I ordered a second set. They might pop in and out of stock. Used the coupon on the second one plus a $1.18 screwdriver for filler.

Did you use the same coupon twice and had the 20 off 100 discount or bought another coupon to get the second set as well?

I did not use the coupon on the first one because I didn't know about it. I believe they are one use only coupons.

The strangest thing with this set is the 12PT sockets start at 3/8 and are 1/2 Drive.

Last black Friday do not have anything similar to this.
To the contrary, I and others bought these 192pc DeWalt sets [dewalt.com] for $89 delivered.... all 6 point and if you need the allen wrenches, no filler items. Also manufactured in Taiwan and not China.

Got my set yesterday and was going through it today. Had one metric 1/2" drive socket that had no markings at all. Not Craftsman, not the size, not even the MM on it. Can't even take it in for exchange because it has no markings at all. I just found that really odd. Otherwise it seems like a decent set. I got one for my son as part of the starter collections I have for him (he's 14) and one for myself since I suddenly had a need to a tool set at work and my set of duplicates probably was enough but this filled in some of the gaps.

Wish I would have seen that. I wanted a set of six point 1/2" drive sockets and ended up getting a set from Tekton for about double the price of that for just the sockets. They are nice sockets though.
