Exactly. I wish people would read before complaining about some sky high price that they aren't even paying. This is a great deal at $20, irrespective of what msrp or "if purchased separately" price is claimed.

My issue with these is that they are not deep enough. I have, on many occasions, could not seat the driver/hex properly because of the shoulder hitting something. I guess these would come in handy when a deep/extended hex has clearance issues, but I've found that to be an edge case—perhaps one that I'm unwilling to spend another $20 when I can use my non impact rated hand tools. But to each their own—considering I particularly don't work on heavy machinery, this set might come in very handy for those that do.

Absolutely agree. Both Lowe's and Home Depot as well as most retailers do the same thing. It's silly which is why most people ignore the "value"

$250 value "if purchased separately". Last week I bought a 10mm hex for $11, which I manage to misplace somehow.

Good find OP. Haven't had a need for these before, but at this price... Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!

I have this set https://a.co/d/eN2x1W3 that I bought for $28 a few years ago. I lost the 10mm and had to buy it separately. I would say $20 from Kobalt is a steal, but I wished it came in 3/8"

Thanks OP. Not sure that I'll need them anytime soon, but these are sockets that I don't have and don't mind filling up my tool cart with them.

3/8 means they have a smaller diameter and can fit into tighter spaces.

Can't think of a time I have seen a hex screw where an impact was needed. Someone help me justify the purchase, lol.

At work we laminate a dummy set screws size 3/4-16x1 3/4". The dummy is replaced with a lock. A couple 300# plus coworkers priding themselves on their size and strength gave up after 10 minutes of trying to remove it. Next morning I brought my impact wrench with hex bit and it was out in 5 seconds.
