The previous complaint about the Kobalt cases are very common. Brittle plastic and the sockets jammed into the lid are a pain.
For my money, for a compact set for the household, I'd choose the Husky 94-piece for on sale for $49.97. The ratchets are not quite the same spec as Kobalt but pretty close, and there only a dozen deep sockets (the bigger sizes), but the set has a more complete range of sockets (from 4mm and 5/32" up to 1"), and a useful magnetic bit driver, and a durable and better-designed case where everything sits neatly on one side.

You normally won't find this many sockets in a set for this price, that alone makes it worth it. Sockets are also stamped and not laser etched so the markings won't vanish over time with use.
The case is fine, on some of the smaller sockets it can be a little difficult to get out but the trick is to pull them from the top of the socket not the 3/8 side and they come out.
The other guy saying the case is flimsy or S U C K S may need to elaborate more because I've definitely used worse cases. It seems durable enough for a typical homeowner.
Overall good buy or gift for someone and beats spending $100 on one of the annual Christmas boxes that contain a lot of fillers and take up way more space.
