Bought two of these - ratchet is junk, selector reverses back and forth under tension on both. Returned.
A considerable amount of bolts under the hood of cars these days are 10, 12, and 14mm. This set would be great for keeping in the trunk for general needs like replacing a dead battery, unbolting a headlight to replace the bulb, installing a replacement hose with hose clamps, etc. I wouldn't say this would be someone's daily driver tool set in a shop but when you just need to complete a task and want something portable this is the thing you will be thankful to have readily accessible.
It's been this price for awhile

Socket sizes: metric 4mm to 14mm, one per mm
SAE 1/8 to 3/8, one per /32. Plus 7/16 and 1/2

that being said its kind of funny calling this a mechanics tool set, hard to imagine many mechanical tasks getting done with hardware 1/2" or smaller. Maybe taking apart a carburetor? Do people still use those?

i was thinking of getting this specifically for the car. i think it'd stow well under the seat.

Can you name one kit that DOESN'T do this?

I can't even name one Tupperware company who doesn't consider the cover a "piece"

My ratchet was junk as well but I like the set a lot. Excellent compact case form factor.
