Ew,that is one fugly tool.
I got these about a month ago (maybe two?). The 8-19mm set was on sale for about $80 or $90 (can't remember last week, much less last month...), plus free 21-25mm set, and then free shipping and a 10% coupon on top. I thought it was a decent deal.

do those have the lip on the selector side box end?
NO, absolutely not! Before I bought the pictured set, I actually bought and quickly returned a GW set from Sears with that stupid Cap-Stop "feature".

My haul for the day.
M7 stubby 1/2" impact and stubby sockets.
Also came with another set of stubby sockets. I'm not sure about the brand. They're made in Taiwan Cro-mo. Look about the same quality as Sunex.
But I know one of our hourly hands bought the same impact but branded as a monster. For like $250. I use his all the time for hard to reach stuff. So the Matco man had this whole setup on his truck said he'd take $275 and throw the 15 piece socket set in with it.
And a set of GP semi deep metric sockets.

I didn't think so, might have to look into a set of those. I have the blue point ones already but I fancy gearwrench. Nice set!

A word of advice ... check every single piece and make sure you don't have any duplicate tool. I have the exact set as yours (nice) but found two duplicate tools. Sent a quick email to customer service at Lang and I got the correct replacement in just a week!

Among a lot of stuff over the past few weeks (I'm not a good picture taker), Line spi from AES Wave (breakout box for the obd connector), Easy intake, expanding bladder for use with smoke machine, and dual offset wrenches from matco.

Today, I managed to score a NOS USA 15mm Craftsmen Reversible Ratcheting Wrench for 7 bucks at sears. Got 3/8dr Standard and XL HF Pro Flex Ratchet, wondering what the hype was all about...
Finally got my Proto Reversible Ratcheting Spine Wrench, in 13mm. But to my surprise, they sent me a duplicate! So I got 2 13mm, these are awesome wrenches, and pricey as hell too, so I am not sure what I want to do. yet.
The other day, I finally special ordered the 11pc SAE Duralast Combo Wrenches set, and the 6pc Metric Duralast Combo Wrenches set, bought the missing sizes and finally I have full sets of both SAE and Metric sizes. Saved alot of cash versus buying each size single.
Bought some Carlyle Sockets (3/8dr, Shallow + Deep, 8mm-19mm) and Screwdrivers
Finally my Wiha Industrial Pilers arrived in the mail, and they look and feel absolutely fabulous. Definitely will order more types in the near future.
Cheers.

I have found out that the kit is also available in the UK branded Sealey VS2030.
I hope that helps?

Those Duralast combos seem odd that they use Blue for SAE and Red for Metric.

That's the way their whole tool line is. I guess they didn't get the memo about blue is metric.

Yeah its kinda odd becsuse i got kobalt sockets that is the complete opposite with the color code. On occasions if I'm not paying attention, exhausted, or just not there mentally, it may throw me off for a sec. But its not really a issue. First world problems eh.
Tbh I prefer duralasts color schememe of metric being red and sae being blue. The chrome moly sockets, if you are lucky enough to still have looks so nice with that color scheme.

Sheep,
Sorry to rain on your parade; why do you say that's a USA wrench? It's not stamped like the others (something that Sears obviously changed when they moved off shore) and it looks lobster-claw compared to the others.

SK Hand Tool 94562 1/4 and 3/8 Metric Socket Set
Got it for $160, open box special from Amazon warehouse. Kind of ***** that all the pieces don't have a slot in the case, very weird. Overall amazing set though.
I remember reading some people who were disappointed in the blow molded cases. Based on that picture, I fully agree. Alot of wasted space.

LoL, I just realized that last night. The sticker was covering up the label. The chrome is diffrerent color and the ratchet selector seems a bit loose than then USA made ones.
Kobalt. They are pretty sweet as far as locking extention goes. Then also a duralast one as well as a extendable extention from pep boys
