All in all a decent set for the Youtube mechanic (as I am). Was a bit disappointed that all of the deep well sockets are 1/4" drive and not 3/8" or 1/2". I have not used this set yet (just arrived yesterday) but have a buddy who has the same set and have used his extensively over the past 18 months with no issues. The box is okay, things seem a bit loose in there but as long as you open it right side up it should be fine. Allen wrenches are loose under the wrenches which is mildly inconvenient.
As a lifelong customer of Craftsman Tools, I am once again extremely pleased with the tool set. Overall, Craftsman is an excellent company providing high quality products.

I am extremely happy with the quality of the tools. The case they came in is so nice that I am using that for storage, rather than a separate tool box. The lifetime warranty can't be beat. Luckily, I have never had to use that warranty, but it gives me peace of mind.

The only downside about this kit, and the reason for four stars instead of five is storage for the allen wrenches. There are two sets of allen wrenches included in plastic bags, but nowhere convenient to store them in the case, so I have to store them separately. That is my ONLY complaint with this set.

I would highly recommend this set to anybody who does any regular maintenance on vehicles or around the house. It includes just about every tool the average person would need to complete the average repair job. You can't beat the quality or the warranty, either. Lastly, I recommend Craftsman tools, because I have had nothing but good experiences with them.
