This is what I picked up a year ago for $199, and not a bad bargain at all. LOT of 12 point sockets tho, and yes, the wrenches are ratcheting, no offset, no reverse lever. All in all, I was pleased.

 

[tecster]

I'm thinking of scooping it up!

You may want to check Ebay as well

You can beat that price with shipping and not pay tax

Maybe I should wait? Do they drop it during a particular time?

They hit $199 several times a year and you can usually use a coupon code to get it down to about $180.

Scroll down that list on the link and there's one set for $199.00.

Wow! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

I wish Camelizer worked on the Sears website the same way it works on Amazon.

Looks like its $199 right now. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-309-...edirect=true&sLevel=0&redirectType=SKIP_LEVEL If you picked it up less than 30 days ago, you might be able to get a refund for the difference.

I assume these would be China? Would I have a chance of US made if I had it shipped?

 

[lithdoc]

Sockets are probably USA, maybe ratchets too. The wrenches are likely chicom.

I sold the Cman wrenches on Ebay (a 16pc set, not made in the US) for about 35 a set, so 70 total, then bought a Gearwrench set for 50(20pc set). Just throwin it out there.

If the price is right, then I might not care too much if tools with a lifetime warranty are "reconditioned". Of course, you can take a closer look at them when you go to pick them up from Longview, TX or Phoenix, AZ.

I bought the same set for 180 earlier in the year and the price has been that low quite a few times since. Everything but the wrenches were USA. The socket finish quality left something to be desired but its a great price. I would also say that there is a lot of socket overlap.

I just got this set for $199 - ~$25 coupon (had a $35 off $300 coupon and I ordered a couple other things). The set seems to be decent enough, and I like that it doesn't come with a case. I'd rather get a few extra items than a case any day. I was a little pissed that they didn't at least throw in a plastic case for the allen wrenches, but that seems par for the course with these sets. The outside of the sockets is pretty consistent in appearance, but I'd say about 1/3rd of the sockets are pretty rough inside. I also was missing a couple of my sockets. A quick call to the 800 number in the box and I have the missing parts on the way to me.
