My local Ace showed this in stock, but canceled my order. I went to the store, and didn't see it in stock. Ended up ordering this to be shipped, for $18! Still, $95 for this set after taxes and shipping doesn't seem terrible.
A long time ago, Sears' marketing people learned that they could charge the same for smaller sized (and quite useless) sockets in Craftsman sets. That's how they get away with these kinds of sales. Useful, normal-sized, socket sets never go on sale.
And, now, all Craftsman tools made in China with quality no better than anything else? The Craftsman name simply doesn't mean what it once did. Hard pass.

Their quality is not bad for the sale prices. What were you expecting for $69 and only 159 pieces, enough Snap Ons to work on big rigs?
A lot of people want a set like this with the smaller sizes, but then for the larger sockets, they'll use impact sockets instead, just get a set of those whether using on an impact driver/wrench or with a hand ratchet.
