88 specialty bits+ 28 hex keys = 116 filler pieces.

That's why the 192 pc Dewalt kit is such great value because it's 142 actual sockets and 28 hex keys.

I got this and the 192 Dewalt set. I bought this because the trays are removable which is convenient for small jobs since I don't have a garage and have to lug the 192 set(which is heavy) from a fairly long distance. Its decent for the price but I wouldn't pay more than this.

Thanks for the review. I was curious how it compares to the Dewalt that's been selling out quickly

I think it was this one and the 159 piece Craftsman set I was considering (they'd both hit $99 before). I was thinking the 159 piece was a little better in some ways, and couldn't decide, but then 159 piece hit $84! That case was more portable too.

I'll have to compare these, because I think they've got a few Craftsman sets in this range in a box like this. I'm thinking I'd like to keep the other set in my car.

Edit: Looks like I was comparing it to a 230 piece set then, but this has even more filler pieces. I liked the 159 sent as it had more regular sockets and more deep sockets (the latter which I was lacking). The 230 had more wrenches which I have few, but rarely use.

Comparing them, I think the 159 set ($99 right now) is a better set.

Agreed. The Craftsman is decent because it has screwdrivers with bitsets and wrenches, where the DeWalt is simply sockets. But none have pliers, and I would prefer four better Flathead and Phillips head screwdrivers than bits if working on a vehicle. That DeWalt set has not been that price in ages. Hopefully many jumped on that deal while it was live.

As others have said sale ended. Unfortunately its rare for it to go on sale for that cheap. Like not even yearly were this one goes on sale for $99 multiple times a year.

It actually came back in stock earlier today @ $98, but quickly went out of stock again.
If you're desperate, might be worth checking back for stock throughout the day, because I was able to snag one today after it reported it was out of stock.

I purchased this on 1/3/26. The order was canceled on the same date. I called to ask why and was told by customer support that they didn't know why it was canceled but that it was not possible to purchase this online. Very disappointed.
