I bought this exact set for $99. Nice try "marking down" from $426 though

When?

This is the best Dewalt set you can get. No filler junk and a quality case. Last year these were $99 during black Friday but you will never see that price again. Definitely worth it at $150.

Sarcasm fully on here,

You mean you don't want those 52 allen keys to drive the price per piece down to $2/each, that's a "wonderful deal".

Probably better off getting new vehicles

I have helped a few people, like you, get their cars out of some pretty remote places by being prepared with the right tools. Saved them an expensive tow into town because they didn't know better and/or weren't prepared even if they did.

When?

BF 2020 ($90) and 2021 ($99) doorbusters from small regional farm store chains with limited availability and/or no free shipping and/or no shipping to CA, etc. Some were able to get YMMV PM's on these deals with Home Depot, which per their policy should have included the competitor's shipping cost or taken into account the availability of the item.

The regional farm chain deals didn't happen this year. The lowest ever official price from Amazon and Home Depot was $120 in Feb 2020 -- that's nearly 3 years and a lot of crazy/life-has-changed crap ago. Perhaps they can do better than $150 but I wouldn't hold my breath for $120 or the even less likely $100.

Manufacturers should start making metric only sets. I never use SAE.

From what I've heard, SAE is used when your metric bolts get rusted down.

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.

Did you ultimately get the parts replaced at no cost to you? If so, did you have to pay shipping?

Ultimately, yes. But hardly. It took me trying to call 3 or 4 other places to get the parts. The guy for their official warranty number told me I was shit out of like it I decided to try a few different places.

No cost to me, but took about 2 weeks for shipping.

There's some credence to this since all American car companies converted to metric in 2010. Most pre 2010 cars will be scrap metal in the next few years.

I think you've confused 2 different things. Most 2010 foreign cars will be scrap, but your American cars will both still be around, and were using metric in the late 70's. I don't even have anything as new as 2010 in the fleet! LMAO

My 2002 Toyota has 345,000 miles on it and it's still going strong and it doesn't have one oil leak, I think they make a hell of a car.

First you said "it saved my as a few times" now you're saying "you have helped a few people get their cars out of remote places". Im not sure if we're looking at the same listing.
