The main thing to know about this particular set is that a lot of the 1/2" drive sockets are 12pt which grip fasteners at the corners rather than 6pt which grip on the flats. 12pts can be more convenient, but if you're dealing with an already damaged or rounded bolt head or you want to prevent that from happening to a good bolt head that needs a lot of torque (which is far more common on bolts that would require 1/2" drive size sockets), the 6pt is the better option.
The 290-piece Husky upgraded version of this set which is around $149 when on sale uses 6 pts, but my personal preference is the HF 301pc set due to overall better piece selection ($179 with coupon).

For those considering buying this, just get a proper toolbox and place the stuff in there. The plastic cases these kind of sets come in are usually pretty much worthless.

I don't think this set is a good idea, because a good quality socket set can last your entire lifetime. Why buy something you'll replace, and deal with the hassle of rounding these tools off and having ratchet mechanisms what don't work smoothly and well?
Harbor Freight has three levels - Pittsburgh (cheap), Qunn (moderate) and Icon (Professional).
They have a Quinn toolset that often goes on sale. That would be a much better set. Or a Milwaukee set maybe. But these $99 stamped wrenches are terrible and you wind up spending more money.

I just bought this set last time it was this set. The drawers lock in when you close everything and they stay close when I lug the case around. The top of the case is sectioned and super nice to layout the stuff I am using. Quality seems good for the two months or so that I've used it. Honestly impressed for my first tool set.
You overpaid

In all of the nuts that I've rounded over the years I would have to say that the tolerances of the nuts and sockets are more to blame than weather or not it was a 6 pt or a 12 pt socket. Check your equipment with a caliper sometime, you'll be surprised. The major advantage of the 12 over a 6 anymore is being able to grab the occasional square nut you find on older things. The advantage I used to hear was that it allowed you to grab a nut at more angles, which is still true with combination wrenches but now that ratchets have so many "teeth" 12 pt has no advantage in this regard.
In short, if your sockets are true to size, and so are the nuts, 12, vs 6 doesn't seem to matter; at least in my experience.
