Just some of the things I've done with this along with a breaker bar and some things like swivels from Harbor Freight: All sort of fluid changes. Changed brakes and rotors. Changed many struts and coilovers. Changed timing belt. Replaced sway bar end links. Control arms. Replaced all manner of engine seals on cranks and cams. Set valve clearances. Dozens of spark plugs. Water pumps. Starter. Radiators. Swtiched a throttle body injected engine to port injection. Exhaust. Replaced an in-tank fuel pump. A/C blower fan. Window motors. Many lag bolts and dozens of other construction tasks. Intake manifold gaskets. Thermostats. Many more things I can't think of. Not a single failure.

I bought this for my kid a while back. Do you have basic mechanical ability? Stow in your trunk and if you lose an alternator its no big deal.

This Kobalt set has 8 combination wrenches. Is the Kobalt that much different with its bits than Husky and Craftsman sets? Notice how the Husky 270 piece set $99 sale (retail $199) also has 8 combination wrenches? Notice how the Craftsman 262 piece set $149 sale (retail $279) also has 8 combination wrenches? They are quite similar spec sheet with the bits. Even the Harbor Freight Pittsburgh 301 piece set has 8 combination wrenches. See the trend.
Bits (also known as fillers to others)? I believe I am seeing 60 bits with the kobalt set. With the husky set, I believe it is 80 bits. Craftsman looks like 60 bits.
It is what it is. I remember when I paid like $85 for 201 piece U.S. Made Craftsman tool set from Sears that came with 21 combination wrenches (small to big and not a bunch of minis) and 4 flare nut wrenches .. that snapped into the case and also a plastic bag for other larger wrenches. That was 12 years ago. Those days are gone to get so many wrenches under a $100 set. Steel is more expensive nowadays than 20 years ago.
* Lot of combination wrenches adds a ton of weight on the carrying case handle too where it could be an issue of breaking the single swivel handle. This Kobalt set weighs 26 pounds. If you add a legit combination wrench set, you will most likely need to get rid of the single top swivel handle.
* There is a 200 piece channel lock set ("suit case design set" that does have 14 combination wrenches at Sam's for $99.98. DeWalt sets seem to carry more wrenches too but it costs more and the warranty replacement won't be as solid as something from craftsman, kobalt and husky.
* Wow. My old USA craftsman 201 piece set came with 25 wrenches and only 9 screwdriver bits. $85 deal. Times have changed.
