    Would have been an OK deal if there was 303 pieces.

    Looks like a lot of redundant tools, mostly repeated bits and repeated wrenches. Getting a decent 18volt cordless or cord driven drill and bits seems like a better tool kit, and much less expensive.

    Unless you need to work on a car. Not a bad deal if you need a ton of tools.

    #2 So a drill and bits make a better kit then this? Cant remember the last time I used a drill to work on a vehicle.

    #3 this is overkill for vehicle work. You can do most repairs with a small socket set and a set of combo wrenches.

    A 60 piece socket set and a set of combo wrenches go a long way.

    Only $5 off of a $260 purchase? Face to face negotiation would yield better results.

    This is not a low down deal for ghetto dogs.

    ZOMG!1 You can buy cheaper tools at Harbor Frate!?

    No really, I don't see the point in including both 6pt and 12pt sockets of the same size and depth, esp for sockets smaller than 3/4 / 17mm. I guess if you lose one, you'll have another that will work. Also includes 8pt sockets which my be good for antique machinery, but of little use anywhere else.
