Meanwhile back on this set the price seems decent and not super-inflated (MSRP or whatever Amazon says, ignore). It's not "shrinkflated" as far as removing things that used to be there, given that the "shit bits" as some called them (driver bits and hex keys) have been a part of most multi-purpose tool sets for decades now. Even the classic Craftsman sets of the 1980s usually came with hex keys most of us already had, but it's true that in later years getting 40 driver bits was a new addition to bump up piece count, but that isn't recent.
Agree this might be a good set for a vehicle since it DOES include the "shit bits" that you just might need in a pinch (hey, I need a Torx bit to work on this thingie I didn't even know was there). So for an emergency kit this probably isn't bad. Since I have a larger pickup I'd supplement it with a tool bag with some 1/2" drive stuff with larger sockets, and also the things that are never included in sets like this, basic pliers, Vise-grip style pliers, Channel-lock style pliers, wire cutters, electrical tape, duct tape. With all that I think I'd be pretty good.
$40 for an almost complete 1/4 & 3/8 for mechanics and throw in some HF 3/8 deep and you're still under this.
