I talked to customer service and they reordered another one at 15% off to replace it so we will see if the new one is broken too.
The tools themselves looked to be decent though. This isn't something you would take around but probably fine to leave in your workspace. The case also doesn't have drawers so you need to pull out each shelf since they're stacked in the box.
It has an assortment of 8mm hex drive bits, but I don't think even has a socket to drive them with, just the screwdriver.

The trays might be convenient if you have, for example, a roll around toolbox with sliding drawers. You could remove the trays from the box and drop them into the drawers. Or they might be convenient to grab and bring over to the part of the car you are working on.
There are a lot of $99 mechanics sets out there with 1/4-3/8-1/2 drive from Husky, Kobalt, or Craftsman. But I think they have been hit by shrinkflation, more filler and less of the large (expensive) stuff like 1/2" drive sockets.
A good comparison to this 226 piece set is the Dewalt 192-pc that goes on sale sometimes. The 192 has a more typical blow-molded case. It also has bit sockets and a better assortment of extensions and adapters. It's probably a better set, but I don't know if it has the same number of sockets.
