V-series seems to be failing as Lowes & Ace have been dumping their inventory for months. I got a set before my local Lowes sold out at $34.99.
Like most V-Series tools this kit is a rebranded product another company owned by Stanley Blacker &Decker (FACOM of France)
Despite being made in Taiwan the quality is less than ideal.
They did as little chroming & machining as possible.
The inside is poorly painted and starts to come off with any use, will be hard to keep them from rusting.
The corners of the square drive are an unrounded sharp 90° & not chamfered at all which makes them more prone to breaking.
If they do fail you are likely going to be out of luck getting a warranty on a discontinued product.
While these would not be good everyday tools for a mechanic this is a compact well-cased kit & very handy to carry in a metric vehicle.
Which is why no one who buys cheap tools at Lowes bought it.
Look how much the FACOM branded set sells for:

You're better off getting a complete set with all the sizes at home than use this as your main.
Now I'm really debating about buying this set and putting in the back of my trunk. I'll just switch out the ratchet to another brand.

I hope they will lower the 1/4 sets to $20. currently it's $30. Still a little too high for what you get. But these v-series sets do have very well made and finished sockets and the case design is a classic.
Love that the metric set has 6 point in 8mm-->22mm with no skips. I also like that the two extensions have black knurled quick-release feature that keeps sockets held on wicked tight and then easily released with a simple pull of quick-release. Works great.
