I have seen this stanley (new!) professional grade mechanic's tool sets tv ad a few times and I am considering buying for use as a 2nd kit.



Has anyone bought one of these or had a good look at them in person and can offer feedback? My primary set is craftsman, but I think the finish on sear's current offerings is not quite what it used to be (eg, wrenches prone to light rusting, chrome breaks & peels off sockets, ratchets have rough finish, etc) so I am looking at alternatives.

I have one of the 2-drawer sets with 3/8 and 1/4 drive ratchets and open end wrenches.

You may need to find a 2nd set with a 17mm open end.

It's my main set....no problems... no returns... 3 years of heavy use... not bad for $29 w/case.

If you're looking for backup sockets... check out impact sockets near air tools... they're normally the best deal going and toughest.
