This set is great. I have bought several for myself and as gifts. It has a variety of sturdy tools and is not just sockets or wrenches. I hang mine up on my pegboard and it efficiently makes all tool easy to grab as well as being easy to take along for a repair.
i got one of these like 8 years ago from one of those clearance return stores for like $50. It's been an amazing toolset that I still use. I just picked up another so I can load it into my car.
They've gone the "Shrinkflation" route, or should I say "Qualityflation" Review on Amazon:

I have purchased this kit for myself as well as my sons in the past. This kit is almost identical, but they took out a few tools and substituted them for cheap Chinese crap.
The original came with channel locks which were decent quality. This kit is missing channel locks and instead give a pair of diagonal cutters that are really cheap looking and feeling.
They also used to include 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" drive ratchets and sockets. They have gotten rid of the 1/2", but they have more sockets in 3/8".
I'm actually okay with that since I don't use the 1/2" drives as much.
I can't tell if the case is cheaper or not because it feels the same. The problem is on the inside with the new cheap needle nose and diagonal cutters falling out everytime I open the case.
Seller: can you please bring back the quality of the former kit. It really is one of the best kits available that comes in this form factor.
There are other kits out there that have 4 drawer instead of the fold open portfolio style that this kit has, and I prefer this design for easier storage in the car, truck, as well as one that I store under a dresser because of its lower profile.
I'll try and get some pictures of the kits side by side for those who are unfamiliar.
Overall value is still good and although I'm knocking off 2 stars for "Cheapflation", I still like the kit and the price. I would definitely give 40 bucks more for better hand tools though and I hope they reconsider the cheapo tool substitution.
We have this exact kit at work for the adhoc needs. While the case has become worthless the tools have held up and suit our needs. Assembled a blackstone no problem with these.

Assembled a Blackstone with these? That's pretty dang impressive
