For $29.99 the Kobalt set looks almost the same as the Mac Tools Set which cost 180.00 and up. Both comes with the same foam tray. Have anyone used Kobalt screwdriver set? I had the Mac tool screwdriver set but not the 20 pieces. Overall Mac Tools screwdriver are ok.

I use the Williams sets as they are identical to some of the Snap on range and can be bought from the US via Ebay for £60 Snap on charge well over double.
Never heard of Cobalt must not be available here

This has been previously discussed.

I believe the consensus was they look similar but are not the same quality wise - shafts weren't straight, duplicates, etc

Kobalt (yes, with a K) is the house-brand for Lowe's.

I think mine are pretty great for 29.99. No comment on how related to MAC they are.
I bought two sets....going to take one to work and have one set in my garage.

They are not identical. They are close. The difference is pretty minor.
If I did not already have so many screwdrivers, I would buy the 19pc set off of Amazon and a matching black Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver.

I got my set for $18 total....the mgr adjusted the price for my set having 2 T10 torx drivers and no T15
I have 2 drivers that the shafts aren't pressed in straight but they still function o.k. and I use them pretty regularly.
For me they are well worth what I paid for them.....only problem I see is if/when they ever break.....Lowes doesn't have that style screwdriver in their regular line up for exchange, so the "Lifetime-Replace Anytime" warranty is useless....
....I guess for an under-a-dollar screwdriver....I'll just toss it in the garbage!
