Not bad but I prefer Husky. I did go in for the Hart 270 pc I found on clearance for $67 at my local walmart because it was too good a deal to pass up.
The reason I prefer Husky is totally anecdotal: Many moons ago before I knew what I was doing (or what a breaker bar was) I exploded 3x 1/2 inch ratchets of different brands (including Craftsman) by literally jumping on a 5 foot pipe trying to get rusted brake caliper bolts off a 1998 Ford Expedition. Turns out after a couple jumps most ratchets will shoot their ball bearings out fast enough to spark when they hit the concrete below. Surprisingly the only ratchet that survived was a 3/8 (!!!) Husky and after more heating/cooling/penetrant cycles it actually took the fastener out. After that experience I was sold.

Yeah, I'm a tool buff and the Husky equivalent at Home Depot is equality good. The tools are really well made and they offer free in store replacement if anything breaks/strips. I brought in a 1/2 ratchet a stripped trying to get an over torqued lug nut off in a pinch and they handed me a new one right at the service desk- no receipt needed.
I have a set of hart 3/8 deep sockets and they are pretty nice. For a whole set for home / diy use i dont see at this price point how you can go wrong. I cant speak to the quality of the box it self but the bits and sockets will work for what ever a home owner or DIY will need.
I believe at one point this was cheaper right? Like $60 maybe or am i thinking of a different set?
Bought this last time it went on sale as a mobile tool box for my car. Came in handy twice already.
Once for dirt bike spark plug change and another time for an exhaust installation on a street bike.

At work we had some reps come to install/swap equipment. They brought husky tools and we all jumped in to get the job done. We had to use pipes as leverage because the bolts were so hard to get out.
I had never used Husky before and had no idea if they were any good or not. I was extremely impressed at how tough Husky was. We have multiple name brands (every maintenance worker has their own) and we kept snapping the hex heads out of the sockets, except for the Husky. The Husky I used outlasted everything else. It did twist about a sixteenth but it never broke while every other name brand eventually did.
