This looks like a pretty complete tool kit with lots of options. It is all stored in a nice plastic tool chest. I imagine it is probably too heavy to lug around for each job, but it is all stored nicely. Great for new homeowners and DIY-ers. Plus, Husky has a great warranty!

I bought this a couple weeks ago at a slightly higher price and planned to return it. Commonly sockets have one indentation on the inside that the ratchet will fit into, which then helps keeps the sockets secure/firm. For this set husky decided to create a "stop" at the end of the sockets that stop it from falling off the ratchet. So instead of being held in place, they are just stopped from falling off the ratchet. In turn all the sockets fit loosely and have about 1/3-1/2 inch of play. I find this really annoying and all the sockets in this set will fit loosely on any ratchet you use in the future. Even at this new price of $88 I am unsure if I'll keep my set.
I was reading reviews on HD, and one guy had this solution which I though was smart. He drilled a hole in the front that goes straight down and inserted an 8 inch aluminum rod. Then he could close and lock the lid and it keeps the drawers in place. I'm likely to get this set, and I think I may do that if the drawers are a problem for me too.

The drawers do not lock closed so if you carry it they fall open and tools go everywhere. Nice set but you will have to put a bunje around it if you want it to be portable

I have a similar set and it's not great retention on the drawers but they do stay shut with normal use.

I like tool sets, but do not need another right now. Of course that rarely stops the impulse purchase Smilie

If it makes you feel any better, I wasn't sure if I should pull the trigger. I had it in my cart then wasted 30 minutes checking reviews and it went OOS in the meantime. Totally played myself! Doh!! Facepalm

Well, I couldn't even find the 235-piece, but they had this 270-piece for $99! I don't know the difference between the two, but it seems good to me.

Husky Mechanics Tool Set (270-Piece)
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky.../320379671
SKU# 320379671

EDIT:. So, it looks like the$89 (that's dead) has about 26 more sockets, while the $99 one has more "other tools". Probably mostly bits and Allen wrenches. I'd honestly prefer the one with more sockets. Since it's OOS I'll wait. (didn't need it anyway!)

Do you need to have a receipt for warranty on husky? My stores are out of the 235 but I see it on eBay from a 3rd party seller.
