Just bought a 227 piece mechanics tool set from lowes, and i gotta say, i'm impressed.
The price: $105.
Comes with a full set of clearly marked metric and sae sockets in 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 drive.
Very few wrenches, only about 10. One bit driver, and one 1/4 drive screwdriver. Only two little bit sets, around 15 total bits. A full set of allen wrenches in both metric and sae, and some small wrenches for mini stuff.
Comes in a black and blue plastic tool box.

For the price (on sale at 99.99, regular at 199.99), i'd say i got a steal of a deal. Kobalt also does lifetime socket replacement on anything that's purchased, so i can see this set lasting a long time.

Allen wrenches and mini-wrenches

Top part of the box, it does come out. All the socket drawers come out, which means they can easily be trimmed to fit in a toolbox


And the outside of the box

 

Sounds like a great deal. I used to have a craftsman one similar to that. Well i still have it, but i put all the tools in my tool box.

I need to score on a set like that for the truck, all i got now is some wrenchs, sockets and pliers.

 

I got it on sale today, lol. Lowes was DEAD when i walked in. There was like nobody at the store.
