And yes I use this set all the time and believe that it's a better choice than all of the other toolsets from all of the other brands in this class. Here's why:
- It has all the basics you'd need including sockets in a wide range of metric (4-19mm) and imperial (5/32-1") sizes including 5.5mm with no skips.
- The sockets are all secure 6-point sockets
- The case!!! Do not discount the importance of a good case. This one blows away anything from the comparably-priced brands (Kobalt, Craftsman, etc.). The case is compact, portable, sturdy, and secure (with four bulky clasps). It also holds everything on one side, so when you open it you don't have sockets and wrenches falling all over the place. And the sockets aren't stuck into place making it a pain to pry them out.
- It includes an incredibly handy magnetic bit driver with 12 nut setter bits and 10 screwdriver bits that together cover a lot of situations (I often grab the bit driver instead of the ratchet).
- It's not as cheap as some chinese import sets on Amazon, but Husky ratchets, bit drivers, extensions, and adapters are made in Taiwan and are not the best money can buy but are reliable quality for the homeowner, with a lifetime warranty.
- Unlike the huge 40 pound sets that go on sale for $99, this one does not have a 1/2" ratchet, or a lot of deep sockets, or combination wrenches, or impact sockets, but it also isn't filled with heavy "filler" pieces. Everything here is useful.
Here is a list of all that's included [thdstatic.com].If you work on cars, get a bigger set with a 1/2" ratchet, sparkplug sockets, and more deep sockets.
If you need a fixed set for your workshop and don't need something you can carry around, and would rather have everything open in drawers, then go ahead and get a big 40-pound set with 200-300 pieces.
If you like this size of portable set but need a full range of deep sockets, then look for the Husky 119-piece set to go on sale for $70 (it has the same size case and socket size range, but with more overlaps, deep sockets, adapters and extensions).
If you are a mechanic who uses tools every single day, then consider paying more for a brand like Milwaukee, Crescent, or Stanley, and getting 90-tooth ratchets with a 4-degree arc swing that can handle the highest torque.
But if none of this applies to you, and you are just a homeowner with a closet, not a mechanic shop, then get this one without hesitation.
