I got my set. That is a bunch of sockets.
Mine was missing all of the 1/4" drive metric sockets. I called the 800 number and they are supposed to be sending the metric sockets.

I see discount will apply at checkout.

Don't order yet. It should appear with the other coupons.

You need to clear your history, clear your cookies, restart your computer, and probably start the whole process over. I can't ever get it to work with Firefox, I am using IE for the Visa coupon. Although my card is preselected as a Visa, but still when I went to order in Firefox even with Visa selected it still didn't work.

That's cheaper than buying used sockets from the flea market.

Having lost all my tools in a fire this set appealed to me. Today only (17MR2011) you can use the CC “IRISH” and get 15% off. No other discounts apply. I pulled the trigger because I need this.

In regards to the easy read sockets, I recently received this set as a gift and the sockets have both the laser etch and the traditional stamping.

Go thru them! Here is one they sent as a replacement because the one I got in my set was bad (I THOUGHT it looked bad...then I got this one). I just gave up...I'll keep the less bad one.

Most looked pretty good, long term durability is unknown however.

Just got a set for work and they had both the laser etching and stamped sizing as well. Chrome was very poor on some of the sockets, but the vast majority seem fine. Will swap out the poor ones when I get a chance. Luckily the bad chrome seems to be on some of the very large sockets that won't see much use.

Yep that is what I noticed too, the bigger they were the worse they were.

I did receive a 35 piece set of wobble sockets today, and they looked great. But they were about $6/piece as opposed to $1, so they better look good...

Wish Sears would raise their quality/price just a bit on their standard sockets.
