That kit needs a spinner handle with the female square drive at the top of the handle to take the place of one of the extensions perhaps. I'd skip the stubby ratchet too. $90 seems too high given all of the other compact socket sets on the market but, that's just me. The case seems nice though. Tekton Prototype? is that code for let's see if they'll sell? Here's an idea for another 1/4 drive prototype kit, use the recently released bit ratchet instead of a regular ratchet with metric only pieces.
^ Quoting this again because @Fedwrench is correct on all points above.
They could easily reconfigure the contents of the set to address contemporary uses by including some manner of "bit" ratchet.
Considering sizes on competitive models, there's more than enough room if they eliminated the stubby ratchet.
The case is nicely made. The tools are easily removed from the spongy gray inserts.
The stampings on the sockets are large enough to see.

This product inspired me. I not infrequently find myself wanting a small set of 1/4" sockets on-the-go but didn't have a great way of doing so. I designed this little case to hold a set of shallow inch and metric sockets, selection of extensions (3/4" mini, 2" wobble, 3", 6"), 1/4" bit socket, 20 1/4" bits (Phillips, slotted, inch and metric hex, 1/4" square adapter), and either a flex-head or standard ratchet (they fit in the same slot). The case is 97 x 180 x 29 mm (3.82" x 7.09" x 1.14") and weighs 860g (1 lb 14 oz) fully kitted out. While it's not a direct equivalent to the Tekton toolkit, it contains all the sizes I want to have on-hand in a compact kit and is only 40% the volume, comparing to the case dimensions on Tekton's web site.
