Considering that 122 of the 320 are just phillips and such bits, the Pittsburgh set may be a better value.

Quote from Selman :
The Kobalt tools are solid. No issues doing fairly major mechanical work on multiple vehicles. I've used the socket on my impact driver with zero issues.

Just sucks when they come with no case or drawer compartments.

I agree but in fairness chrome sockets are stronger/harder than impact sockets especially pound for pound, Impact stickers are designed to give so they dont explode when they yield, but right up until yield you'd expect a chrome socket to handle impacts just fine. It's when they break that I'd rather be using an impact and that's not usually an issue unless you're laying into it. Anyway, and if they rant sorry, I agree kobalt is great, I also are that most of this kit is worthless Allen keys and such.

Focus on getting a full set of ratchets & sockets with these with minimal skipped sizes, not the count, you can easily get more of actual value for the same price or less.

The regular price is a great way to reference at a glance the value. The Christmas and Black Friday sets that go on sale for half off give or take are often around $80-100 and have 150-200 pieces but are still giving you more of value here their normal price being $60 more than this for "less".

If you shop smart and prefer together a few smaller kits you can get a great value with no fluff as well.

After years and years of thinking about possibly maybily buying a new gazillion-piece socket set for car stuff, the more closely I looked at the set contents during a Slickdeal drought, the more my spidey-senses tingled - even at the famous Dewalt 192-piece - until at last, I finally bought separate 1/4" (4-14mm) and 3/8" (6-24mm) sets, metric only, standard/deep. I couldn't be happier that I am not dragging around an extra 10+ pounds of steel I don't need when I pop out to the driveway to get my UV and exfoliation, and I can still reach from under the car to switch from 12mm to 14mm without looking. I paid more or less regular price, and it wasn't all that much more than one of these deals. The 1/4" set wasn't strictly necessary (yet), but is magic in the engine bay. I'm a big fan of wrenches but don't need a blow-molded case for them.

These do still have their place when you want something in the trunk for "just in case" - the skips and equivalent sizes will make more sense then - and of course SAE tools still have applications.

Yep, I like the milwaukee packout stuff but milwaukee has a set of a ratchet and sockets that's insanely thin, I love it just for the grab and go laptop size. I prefer a few of those, regardless of the brand. I grew up with a craftsman set similar to it with the clear plexiglass lid…not quite as thin but still incredibly convenient.

Tekton 1/4" and Neiko 3/8". The Neiko extensions aren't knurled, and the case only fits the 7" generic Taiwanese ratchet, but you do get the sweet L-handle, and the sockets are roll stamped. I put the $30 difference (which is now $20) into assorted Gearwrench ratchets. There's only so much I can kick myself for not paying 2019 prices.
