I have zero experience with any lowes pneumatic but for the money you probably cant go wrong. Even if the gun is totally worthless...which it most likely is...the air ratchet looks serviceable.

I would be Ok with the 1/4" collard die grinder and the air hammer/chisel. The hammer chisles may or may not be well made, but it and likely the die grinder stones and burrs will get you by, but are likely not overly high quality.

3/8" air ratchet is likely acceptable since they don;t see a lot of use, but I personally would like to see how the 1/2" impact gun stacks up. I have both an IR and a MG725 and have never been trusting of the low end of those 1/2" impacts anywhere unless it's a brand name.

Give it a try, as you can always sell off what falls short and upgrade but keep what you like.

I've had a couple of the big box store 50-60 piece air tool sets and you basically get what you pay for. I had a husky set and a Mastercraft set and found them decent for very light home mechanic duty. Both impact guns would take off lug nuts and what not as long as they weren't on too tight. The ratchets in both kits were ok for running off nuts occasionally. The air chisels weren't worth a **** at all. Other tools were ok but not memorable at all.
I have no experience with lowes offerings at all but most of the home kits that I've seen were like I've described.
