398 pc Bostich tool set $169 at Menards

[sammerdog]

Noticed this on the back page of Menard's tool sale going on through Christmas Eve. Seems like some decent bang for the buck.

Heavy on sockets, foreign made. The $39.99 MasterForce set next to it is US made.

Looks like it's the same set on their site for $199 which has "universal" (SAE and metric combined) sockets.

Never used and hopefully never have to use "universal" sockets or wrenches.

The op's set has 6 points so they probably aren't "universal" sockets (but the 12 points might be).

I've seen the bostitch line in store. Looks a bit a bit above common chinese stuff (husky) at least the taiwanese stuff is. Probably comparable to the kobalt taiwanese stuff. It ain't cheap though and some of it is probably still chinese (but a little better made).
