Buyer beware: I've had this tool set going on 3 years. I've had a swivel socket break, two torx bits, the 1/4in wrench, and a hex bit. They were all less than ideal to replace, with the swivel and torx bits being the most upsetting.
Their "lifetime warranty" of course, only applies if they actually have the item in stock. They did not, and referred me to an Amazon link to buy the bit for a whopping $10. When I asked how I would be reimbursed, the guy just sat silently. I had to call 3 or 4 other physical DeWalt warranty centers to find one with one in stock willing to ship it
As for the ones they did have replacements for, there is no online warranty process. I spent 30+ minutes on the phone, navigating a "press 1 to" prompt, sitting on hold, and going back and forth describing the actual tool I need to be replaced, and having to Google the part numbers the rep spit out. Once or twice, I had to find the part number myself to show him what I needed replaced. Oh, and the swivel joint? The guy had NO CLUE what I was even referring to. That took at least 15 minutes to convince him he was not thinking of the same part I was.
There are no physical locations to pick up warranty claims, so you must wait for snail mail.
Good toolset nonetheless, but this is just in the spirit of full disclosure.
It has come to our attention that Titus Pullo no longer uses SAE socket sets. Therefore you should no longer manufacture SAE socket sets of any type. Although we do not have an official date that Titus reached this decision, we are reaching out to you immediately upon receiving the public declaration of his/her decision.
We will also be letting every other industry around the globe to begin the immediate replacement of every bolt and nut currently in use that has been design in the SAE standard as it is now useless.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

I agree with Titus. New US cars use Metric too. It would be WAY WAY better for most people to get this set in an all-Metric configuration, with larger 1/2" sockets, more deep sockets, and eTorx. It's fine if they keep making these dual SAE/Metric but they should offer a lot more Metric-only sets.
I don't disagree at all. What they REALLY should do is just make a 100 piece 10mm set of all the various wrench and socket types and save us all a lot of trouble hunting and cursing around our garages.
I bought this exact set for $99. Nice try "marking down" from $426 though

Got this set a few years ago for $99. Is still a good deal at $149. As previous poster said, not a lot of filler.
we know. you're not special. you can buy it right now for $75 or $90 if your account is eligible for the current amex or citi bank promo. they are selling it for 150 instead of 100 because of the current promotions.

Dear Mr. Monkey,
Thank you for taking the time to correspond this concern to us.
Please tell Mr. Titus to go pound sand. This set is useful for things other than automotive.
Sincerely,
Manufacturing Association Lobby Group

I just found out that my deep impact socket set didn't come with a 12mm. WTF, Pittsburgh?
Of course, now I had to order two shallow impact socket sets off Amazon. The set is growing, but some duplicates now. (Why 2? Well the 8pc was 3/8" and was $10, so I couldn't pass up 30% off; the 14pc was 1/2" and started at 11 mm).

Hi Guys - good news. I just got back from the time machine and this did in fact used to be $99. All you need is to use your time machine and go back before inflation/pre-pandemic. No need to thank me, enjoy!

Inflation isn't 50%.
I bought the set for $120 in spring 2020, so if it gets to $130, I'll bite.
$150 is not a slick deal.

I'll wait til $99 again. If it never reach 99, it would still be 150 by next black Friday.. then maybe I'll consider it.
