I feel like I paid this price in 2013. It's either inflation proof or metal quality is dropping each year

I paid $80 around 2016. I have done tens of thousands of dollars of work with it. I've also used the sockets on an impact driver without any problem.

I've only had two minor issues. The magnet fell out of the screwdriver handle, and the rubber dried out on the spark plug socket so it won't grab the plug anymore.

On mine, the bottom tray is empty, which I love so I could put swivels and other stuff to fill out the kit. This one does have more wrenches though.

Yep I've used mine nonstop. Rebuild several vehicles and engines. I've broken a few. The no hassle warranty is a giant lie. But I keep one of these sets in my vehicles and my trailer for emergencies

This set has more wrenches, and the 297-piece set has a TON of bit driver sockets.

Husky no hassle warranty is one of the best in the business.

This 250 piece is the better deal, IMO. It's got more actual sockets, which can be expensive.

The 297 kit has at least 90 pieces of the little filler bits, as seen in the front left side of the top tray pic. Those don't have much value.

Also notice the Kobalt 250 retails for more at $219 vs $149 for the 297 pc kit.

This $250 kit is better than the 277 and 297 piece kobalt kits and the promo $99 Husky and Craftsman kits.

This has far more standard and deep sockets than the others. Plus a far amount of wrench, lots of small sizes though. The others get the high counts from the excess allen keys and screw driver bits.

Some stores also have on stock for $99 clearance price. The online inventory for some reason did not pickup, maybe because of the clearance.

I prefer the sockets from kobalt for the color coding. And the husky set felt cheap. But I love my husky wratchet wrench set.
