Just saw these for $45 on Clearance. Local store (SE PA) had maybe 3 or 4.

https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN/5013302107 - Link is for reference only

This is less than half the price of a previous Frontpage deal: https://slickdeals.net/f/16604747-230-pc-craftsman-standard-metric-mechanics-tool-set-w-hard-case-119-free-shipping

NOTE: this is a 'pretty good' set as a starter. Admittedly it does have a lot of 'filler' bits. But, it's a great kit overall if you don't already have a ton of bits; AND, for $45, this is hard to beat even considering the fillers.

Pros:
- Good selection of sockets for a starter
- Case is decent, seems durable, and you can stack a drawer on top
- Latches into a VersaStack system if you have that

Cons:
- Lot of filler bits
- Very few 1/2" sockets
- Lot of wasted space inside the case

They are made in Taiwan and the quality seems to be good.

NOTE: this is model # CMMT45305. There is also an updated kit model # CMMT45306, which is also on sale for $129. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the newer kit has slimmer-head ratchets. This can be important but you'll have to decide if it's worth the extra expense. For $45 I couldn't pass up the kit in this post.

Are you going in the store and looking? The website will just show $129 no matter what.

Just picked one up at my local store. Thanks OP!

Edited to add- My local store was showing 1 in stock on their website for $129. When I went to the store there were 12 sets on an end cap along with several other Craftsman tools/sets and had no sale tags visible. It just had the $129 price tag on the front of the shelf they were on. I asked an employee to check the price for me to see if they rang up the sale price, which it did on his handheld scanner. He assured me it would ring up for the $45 price at the register, and it did. After leaving I got to thinking that I should grab one for each of my 2 sons for when they move out on their own and went back for 2 more. They were all still there and no new clearance tag had been added yet. Their website no longer tells the number available, only to check store for availability. So for anyone who has a store nearby, it's worth checking to see for yourself. And if the price tag doesn't reflect the $45 have an employee to check it for you. For $45 this is a great value for someone needing a starter set.
