If I have a tool chest / drawers... do I need to buy this box /toolbox with it? I mean, most of these dewalt kits now are in clamshell cases.

LMK if it's worth getting or if I will be annoyed it's not in a clamshell kit.

So...get tHis set with just the plastic things it comes in. OR this deal , which someone previously said was the best bang (not much filler stuff but good components)?

For $67 its' gteat but no case or toolbox (but I don't have a tool box to carry, just my metal craftsman tool box with 4 drawer)

Mind you , Not a mechanic or anything crazy. Just a homeonwer to occasionally DIY some stuff but I hate buying crappy tools (but I don't need like commercial grade either! )

Is FleetTool seller same as CPO outlet? Amazon shows FleetTool for me

If you click through the seller and look at their seller info, you will see that Fleet Tool is CPO. Same company, not sure why they are using that alternate name.

Quote from Applesniper :
Socket wise this set is a little less than the 192

here is the difference I saw
1/4 deep sockets This set skips 5/32 while 192 set skips 7/32
3/8 deep sockets This set skips 10 11 12 (There is 10 11 12 in 1/4 deep sockset anyway so no real skip in size there)

3 extension instead of 9. (those is not enough for spark plug changes, I could recommend buying the extension set from HF for $10 if you going to work on spark plug change)

No increase or decrease socket size vs 192 set having 3 (I actually a bit annoyed that the 192 set doesn't have a 3/8 to 1/2 increase socket, I was going to grab an increase/decrease set from HF for $5 anyway because of the missing size change)

No Hex or Torx bit set. there is a Trox socket set for $14 (https://a.co/d/htvp2vO). The Hex socket set doesn't have any good deals so far. if you don't need it immediately then you can wait for the LEXIVON hex socket set on sale (https://a.co/d/c7pSrIC)

No 1/4 Universal Joint. (i rarely use 1/4 universal joint)

1 spark plug vs 3 spark plug. the 5/8 sparkplug is enough for most car changes.

then it is down to where are you going to keep your set in the tool chest/cart or not.

if you going to put it into a tool chest/cart then this set is perfect since it comes with trays. if not maybe 192 is a better storage option for you. but does it justify the $70 dollar difference?

I am going to return my 192 to HD and switch to this since this set can fit perfectly in my tool chest. instead of laying around my tool chest.
I'm doing same. It's a good savings since I already have most/all the odd items needed top equivocate the differences between the 226- and 192-piece sets. I'd rather have trays I can place in my tool chest than the 192's blow-molded case for my particular use model.

Give Dewalt a call. very easy replacement. I replaced a few Dewalt hand tools 2-3 months ago. all I did was just give them a call and with 2-3 weeks those are delivered to my front door.

From my earlier post:

Socket wise this set is a little less than the 192 and depending on your usage you might need to invest a little bit more money to make this set more complete

here is the difference I saw
1/4 deep sockets This set skips 5/32 while 192 set skips 7/32
3/8 deep sockets This set skips 10 11 12 (There is 10 11 12 in 1/4 deep socket anyway so no real skip in size there)

3 extension instead of 9. (only 6 inch extensions. those is not enough for spark plug changes, I could recommend buying the extension set from HF for $10 if you going to work on spark plug change)

No increase or decrease socket size vs 192 sets having 3 (I actually a bit annoyed that the 192 set doesn't have a 3/8 to 1/2 increase socket, I was going to grab an increase/decrease set from HF for $5 anyway because of the missing size change, i have a 3/8 digital torque but could like to use 1/2 socket/extension when need torque more than 25lb/ft)

No Hex or Torx bit set. there is a Trox socket set for $14 (https://a.co/d/htvp2vO). The Hex socket set doesn't have any good deals so far. if you don't need it immediately then you can wait for the LEXIVON hex socket set on sale (https://a.co/d/c7pSrIC)

Seems like details are mixed based on my scrolling/reading. But does the the eBay kit come with at least the plastic trays? I just need this for my toolbox at home.

Under "DETAILS & SPECIFICATIONS" section, in "Features", second bullet says "Comprehensive 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. drive assortment in 3 easily removeable trays".
