Got this a few weeks back at $149 and it's a very slick deal. Great socket set.

Warning. NO CASE.

this is just the tools. Not really a deal.
The sets in the price range with a case are garbage.

Perfect, finally a full set for home.

I've had this set for a couple years at work, got on a similar deal, been keeping my eyes open for this again!

This set is a great value but don't count on the warranty to be easy.

I bought this about a month or so ago and it was missing a socket. I called Kobalt first and that took a bit to get to the right person that supports socket warranty- the person told me to go to store to get resolved.

Store had only the option to do a return of the whole set and then reorder a new set. They couldn't just swap out one socket for me to save the hassle. I ended up returning the entire thing and being done.

This might be different from store to store but lost my trust in their warranty.

On the thread from a month ago someone warned of this issue needing to return the whole set and they were right. What a mess of a warranty process to have to bring all the good sockets back every time.

Looking at the list it appears to be a no skip set and might actually include more sizes than a traditional no skip set. Only detractor is 12 point instead of 6-point.

This 211 piece set is all 6 point. The 212 piece set is the one that is all 12 point.

Can't speak for hand tools but their lithium tools have been absolute workhorses that can take plenty of abuse. The warranty has also been relatively easy to deal with when I had a battery cell go bad. Also managed to RMA wife's father's blower battery and they ended up giving me the whole kit price because I was sold with the blower, didn't even have the receipt since he never kept anything.

I haven't had any issues with my Kobalt tools, but even if they have gone down hill how often are you actually breaking sockets? I know it happens, but I've never done it.
I have this set along with the other large Kobalt sets and my only complaint is that the sizes are only lightly etched onto the sockets, and it's not very readable.
