Costco 159 tool set

[Pigpen2]

Hey guys I was in Costco yesterday and saw this set for the first time. It's a Kirkland signature 159 piece tool set. Looked pretty decent. Any idea who might make this? Looking to upgrade my crappy 7 year old husky set. Think this would be an upgrade? Below is a link to it.

It looks like rebranded Kobalt. IDK if it would be an upgrade but Costco has an excellent return policy.

My Costco has replaced almost all hand tools with Kirkland brand over the past month or so. I checked a couple of boxes and both items said made in Taiwan, but no idea which co. actually makes them. These have replaced US-made Craftsman and some other China-made brands of hand tool sets.

I think you can take that money and buy some gently used pro quality tools that will last you a lifetime. You can use those around the house, but IMO Costco isnt the place to buy tools. Cheese, eggs, lunch meat, milk, tires etc... Costco is a fantastic company, worked 5 years for them before I went in the Navy, but they're not serious about tools.
