The wrenches and sockets use the MAC rbrt technology (they are owned by the same company)

When a $70 set of wrenches beats a $600 set, I'd say that's a pretty great value.
Hopefully Pushy will do the sockets next.....

I do own Snapon, Williams, MAC, Carlisle, vintage =V= Craftsman, and even a few Icons.
So I'm not married to any specific brand. If I needed a tool or something was on sale, I bought it - regardless of brand.
So I love when an underdog surprises everyone and wins a few rounds.
If a gal starting out can get 2 of these quality tool sets for the price of just the wrench set... probably will be all they ever need.
I personally like that about them - as long as a fastener was made to spec, these fit nice and tight and aggressive. If some jerk rounded it prior to you, you can get it off. However, I would anticipate that there's some 5-10% of fasteners you might encounter that will have an issue with fitment.
Another issue is that singles for these sets are not available, and the warranty exchange process seems to imply Craftsman might replace a broken socket with a non-Overdrive socket.
For these reasons, I consider these more as a secondary backup set for getting off tough bolts - not my primary socket set. Not trying to dissuade anyone from this deal, just some caveats to be aware of. YMMV.
