Kobalt ratchet and socket sets

[jrockford]

Hi everyone. I haven't seen this deal posted yet.

Lowe's has Kobalt 19 piece mechanic's tool sets for $19.99. Standard, metric, metric/ standard, deep well, shallow, 3/8" and 1/4" ratchet sizes.

They come with a nice compact blow mold case too.

Says sets built prior to October 2016 will come with 72t ratchets.

I think this is a better deal than original posting. Sae and metric for $30.

Going by the metal pin in the hinge, that's a pretty nice blow mold case!

I saw that yesterday, but it made the kit much larger. Not that it's good or bad..

I have two of the 40 piece sets. One travels in my truck and one gets used at the gym. They have held up fine after many uses. I used the ratchet to remove a cross threaded half inch bolt from a floor anchor and no problems.
