Looks like a nice set might buy one to throw in my truck.

 

[ravenzfusion]

supposedly it has a really sturdy case too

My friend is looking for a beginner tool set and another friend linked this to me. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

[stage20]

for the price harbor freight cant touch it. its basically a stanley tool kit with bostitch name.

i figured up just the sockets are .75 cents each and everything else is free. you cant buy used for less than a dollar most places.

i dont need the kit.... but its tempting.

I bought my stanley kit that looks pretty close to that. If the ratchets are the same, they will drive you bonkers. They lockup and auto reverse all day long.

I have a Stanley set I bought a few years ago. sockets are excellent. extensions good, ratchets aren't the best but mine don't reverse on me. perfect backup set.

Black chrome.. One of the worse ideas for tools yet.

Just ordered them through Ebates for another 10% off.
Have no need really, but for the price it will become my haul around set.

Thanks for posting ravenzfusion.

There is no 10% for Walmart only 1%.

 

[thickhead]

10% is Ebates preferred. Sorry.

Keep the sockets and sell the ratchets for 20 bucks. If I buy that's what I will do. Are the sockets stamped or etched or both? I see wrenches are listed as only sae. Bummer.

What is preferred?

Why not as durable?

Just picture this. Drop one of these tools in an engine bay..

Makes sense . I wasn't sure if you meant it was a less durable finish.

But wait! Now imagine, your on the side of the road, at night, on the side of the road,, drop the socket in the engine bay. But its ok! It hit the ground. Rolls off the berm Lost in narnia.

LOL "Narnia"

Hey, don't judge me! You don't know me! I have the right wardrobe... It took me somewhere..

I feel the exact same way. It is a good price and would be good to carry in my car.. but I don't need it.

That's what i did. I bought 3 industrial finish black Williams made in USA to match the set. Was under 70 bucks for all 3.

here's the 3/8s

I agree, They're tough to find. But i haven't lost one yet and have had the set for 3+ years. But that's me tho.. i don't miss much.

I don't miss much either. But time is money. And working with order vehicles, they're always going to be covered in grime. I just wouldn't want the frustration of over looking that 3/16 shallow socket 1,000,000,000 times while to scoffs at me all the way. Lol

LOL, some of the more important sockets, i hit with a blob of neon green nail polish.

new blue and new red

Now those, would be sweet. Stanely had those for Christmas two years ago. Kick myself for not buying them then. They even had gold and green iirc.

If you don't need the case, dirt cheap building supply has the stanley branded kit in 252 piece for 40 bucks
