I purchased this set, at this price during a previous deal maybe 2+ years ago. It is very hard to beat considering what you actually get for the price. Unless you are completely oblivious to what makes a really good/high quality tool vs a very good value tool, this is the latter.
The number of sockets and wrenches you get for the price is great for folks who just need it want to have standard tools on hand for the occasional use. Likewise, you can easily live with this storage solution if you can manage to keep it organized and stationary with random DIY jobs for homeowners but it does take a little bit of work because of the poor nature of the plastic mold drawers.
Those same drawers that keep all of these many many pieces organized may be the worst designed storage unit ever created. Kobalt needs to completely change this design. Honestly, I would rather have a cardboard box containing individual plastic trays than this style of storage container. The molds of the entire housing almost never fit together properly and it causes the drawers to stick and snag. This also happens to cause sockets and tools to get caught and hold the drawers in place. The only way to get it open is to force the drawers out which, inevitably, will jerk and jumble or scatter some of the contents.
The metal latches that secure the top down for carrying purposes are not rust resistant and should not be kept in a vehicle or non-climate controlled area for long periods of time or you will see rust develop quickly. They are also cheap, thin clasps that can come off easily if you move the top around while open and you may not even realize it because of all of the other sounds from loose items from other drawers and shelves.
There have been many times where I went to get a socket, wrench, adapter, etc and cursed the day I bought this set as everything I needed became stuck or scattered around my shop.
HOWEVER,
as someone who is not a professional auto-mechanic but is an avid DIYer, I would still rather have this set, for this price, than not have access to all of these tools. Most of my shop contains higher end model tools and I have a healthy appreciation for using a really good tool vs a piece of Wal-Mart junk. These types of sets are really just something I need to have on hand rather than something I need to use daily so I'm totally fine with this level of quality, as will many other Slickdealers.
Ultimately, the portability feature of the container is a highlight in theory but it is not enjoyable to utilize once you get to where you are going. At some point (when I get all of this 'free time' I hear people talk about), I think I will just make a small cabinet to custom fit these plastic mold shelves and that have wood shelves on drawer slides to keep these socket trays in for much more convenient access. I can always keep the actual travel case around in case I need to take the entire set somewhere. Until then, I am glad I have this set (for this price) but will freely admit that it is a pain in the butt to use.
Edit - the PF tool set is a different set, but it is extremely similar and several reviews talk about the issue with the drawers.
