The Craftsman case isn't perfect, as it has a LOT of wasted space, but since it works flawlessly with Versastack/Tstak, and the drawers never jam, it's an easy choice for me.

I've got a few of these sets that i keep around at my mom's house, in law's, etc in addition to one i use myself frequently.
Yes its a lot of filler but it has all the important sizes and 3 sizes of ratchets. The filler will cover you with random bit\hex keys. The quality on the filler is garbage as to be expected, but the ratchet set themselves is good for the price. I wouldn't want to tear down a car from the 60s with it, but it will get you through your oil and brake changes, putting the kids bike together, general household stuff more than fine.
They also make a Bin box this thing stacks to, which is great for just tossing in any other rando tools you need.

The 1/4 drive :
Has 4-14mm standard and 4mm-12mm, but is missing the 11mm deep.
Has 5/32 to 9/16 standard, missing 13/32, 15/32, and 17/32. The deeps are mostly just the /16s. I don't know that I've ever used a 17/32 but I have used 13/32
The 3/8 drive has 10-19mm standard and 10, 12-15, and 17 deep. The missing deep sockets will be annoying.
SAE is 3/8-3/4 standard (no /32s) and 3/8-11/16 deep (no 3/4")
The 1/2 drive only has 18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 3/4", 13/16", and 7/8" standard sockets - and only 12 point version. That's deeply disappointing and you will be annoyed at having to switch ratchets just to use the 21mm or 3/4" deep. They might as well include them all as 3/8" and give you an adapter. It depends on what you're doing, but I regularly use 20mm-24mm, 1", 1 1/4" 6 point sockets for car stuff. I think lug nuts are usually 21mm and 13/16" - and so you don't even get those as all the 1/2" sockets are 12 point
I do find that I break (new) Craftsman regular sockets not infrequently on doing car repair with stubborn bolts, but that happens with most non-impact sockets. I feel like my Husky mechanic set from 15 years ago is more robust at a similar level of expected quality. I can't speak to the "Lifetime" warranty post Stanley takeover.
