Hey Guys!

Not sure if this is an SD or not, theres no markdown listed on the Lowes site but all the outside links i see show $250 and comparable sets seem to be as much or more. Im thinking this would be good for my setup, all the tool sets ive seen so far have their own carrying case which i dont need:

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I checked a few stores but they all showed $149, but i did only use CT. Sorry!

$249 in Florida. I typed in some random zip codes and never found it for $150. Well worth it if you can get it for that.

Edit: Found it in an Ohio store for $149. If you live in the Midwest check your Lowes!

On sale in Massachusetts. Great deal if you are starting out with nothing. You would spend a lot more if you bought separately.

I think this normally goes on sale all the time at $199 not $149.

Personal preference, but I wouldn't want a Kobalt set as my primary. As a backup when needing a 2nd of a size they're fine and this would be an ok price. But there's too much slop and slip with their sockets. For the occasional use that's ok, but if you use them a lot, it's too many busted knuckles and too much frustration waiting to happen.

Agreed. Homeowner basic use. If doing your own mechanic work, these are going to leave you frustrated. Go with gear wrench for value. There are other brands like Milwaukee or Icon from harbor freight that are a lot more money but worth it. You will save yourself a lot of money by doing your own work. However, if your tools suck you will likely give up with bloody knuckles and rounded bolts.

is the Kobalt set even lower quality than craftsman, hart or harbor freight?

i did a ton of brake jobs, oil changes, bike mods and a lot of other work for 10 years using a mid grade craftsman socket set with HF ratchets. Never an issue.
