Before anyone asks: Made in Taiwan, not the Peoples Republic of China​

CRAFTSMAN 159 Piece Mechanics Tool Set (CMMT12125)​

Anyway, this would be a good garage starter set for your teenage kid or grandkid. I was perusing Car & Driver and I saw this set priced at $99.00 and free shipping. Looked it over this afternoon. I don't see anything outwardly bad about the pieces. Also, the blow molded case is sturdy. Time will tell...tools and case.

Lifetime Warranty of course.

Edit to better show "Made in Taiwan":

I have one of those that goes with me off roading. Has saved so many others. Well that and my battery starter thing.

 

[Charles Cook]

I have one of those too. Only thing missing are the 10mm sockets. I have no idea what happened to them.

I bought my son-in-law one of these for Christmas and a tool chest for his birthday, on the 21st. He’s not super handy but, he’s trying and it’s good to have, when I’m there doing something. I have him work with me, when the school has breaks. He definitely wants to learn.

I think we all pretty much started with a starter set something like this. Then it's like being a crack junky after that.
I was helping my younger son (professional mechanic), unload his 4 large chests the other day as he just got a new gig. Grunting I remarked "Jesus Christ you have allot of tools".
He responded "Shut up Pops, your tool box is a 1,600 square foot building". Fair enough.

I bought the same one a while back to replace missing sockets. Good set for the price!

10 mm ??

 

[NHRoadrunner]

I got the 200 piece one and so far it's been good. Can't beat the lifetime warranty.

10 mm ??

Of course ‍

Well that sucks..... free shipping doesn't apply outside USA it seems.

For that money, I'll just buy a dozen 10mm sockets and be done with it.

The 1985 version of this were my first tools.

50 years back my folks bought me a craftsman set in a gray steel carry box.
I still have the box and quite a few of the tools.
Tools are mixed in with the roller box.

I still have most of mine, too and the box.
