I've been torn between this and the 230 piece set (which contains a LOT of little items) which have both been $99 a lot of times (as recently as yesterday).
This 159 piece has 17 more standard sockets, and 8 more deep sockets. And deep sockets are pretty sparse in my whole tool collection.
But the 230 piece set has a lot more little/tiny cheaper things like 28 more hex keys and 46 more bits.
The 230 piece set does have 9 more combination wrenches though. But personally I use sockets more than wrenches, and I've got a million bits and hex keys already.
But the extra $15 off from what I've normally seen it go on sale for has pushed me to pull the trigger on this set...
Edit: And checking camelcamelcamel, this is a low by $15.

It's larger than I imagined. I have a smaller Craftsman set from 30 years ago, but had no idea if it had 40 or 100 items, I'm going to guess 40-50, so this will be nice.
I've got stuff in the garage and car, and then stuff in my 3rd floor condo. I'm TEMPTED to gather all the loose stuff, put one of these inside and one in the car/garage and have it nice and organized...
I bought this set last year for $69 at Ace. But that was a year ago, and everything has gone up. Quality is decent and the included pieces are common sizes that have proven to be useful. Because of the case, it's convenient to have in the car.
I own this set. A lot of value here. Perfect to keep in the truck instead of your more valuable tools in case of theft. I've used it twice in the past 2 months and it has paid for itself. I paid $99 and don't regret it. Worth it for the sockets alone - 64 standard/36 deep.
