Not sure how great of a deal this is but at least you don't get 100 pieces of random crap you'll never use with it

This seems like a really good deal considering all the "pieces" are actual sockets, probably the equivalent of the typical 400 piece set that comes with 200 random bits.

Set list:

https://pdf.lowes.com/productdocu...575598.pdf

I just spent $101.64 (before 7% Amazon CB) on the 1/2" metric 12-pt Tekton set SHD92212 (30 sockets 10-24mm), after agonizing for a while about the lack of popularity of 1/2" chrome sockets, especially 12-pt. I use 12-pt sockets with a breaker bar, and my 25 year-old set was never complete to begin with.

I don't think I'll cancel that order, because I don't have a strong desire to own more SAE sockets, sockets >24mm, 12-pt sockets in 1/4" and 3/8", or Kobalt tools, but this is probably a good deal for someone who does.

12 point sockets count as random crap for most us.

There are a few 100 peice 10mm sets
Osla tools [olsatools.com]
Brazen [amazon.com]

And dozens of 10 mm variety sets that show these brands are more interested in jumping on whatever memes they think are selling well for someone else than building actual functional tool sets.

Astro [astrotools.com]
Boxo [amazon.com]
Brazen [amazon.com]
Duralast [autozone.com]
GearWrench [amazon.com]
Husky [homedepot.com]
JobSmart [tractorsupply.com]
King [kingtoolsandequipment.com]
OEM Tools [amazon.com]
Pittsburgh [harborfreight.com]
Platinum Tech [techschoicetools.com]
Titan [amazon.com]
VIM Tools [jbtools.com]

So the price dropped from $139.50 to $74.50 and someone flagged it as expired?

Here is the 6 point set. It is $149 for the moment but that may end soon.
