They won't have any more. Stanley Black & Decker is closing their Texas facility that manufactured these. This is why some folks are interested in purchasing this set. I suppose for the collectability or nostalgia. Some folks will never open them and keep them sealed, I'm sure. I plan on picking up a set as I need one at work for general use.

is $20 off on $90 item considered a slick deal now?

It's not so much the price, but the rare "Made in USA*" for a Craftsman set that is the deal but didn't expect this one to go front page.

I have a bunch of old made in USA Craftsman sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers. Maybe it'a time to start selling them at a premium??

Six point sockets! To me, this is the main selling "point"! Perfect! Way better than 12 point. Better fit and less chance of stripping a worn or damaged bolt head. Much better for torquing down a bolt. The case is a nice. Perfect to have in the trunk as a basic JIC kit. Just add pliers.

My set is the big one with only hex sockets, only sockets, made in the USA. Before I close it, I account for every socket because it is truly the last of its kind. Was a slickdeal too. So far all the sockets are accounted for - and, they're the nice chrome ones kinda like a dark chrome shine to them looks expensive unlike every set I've seen since.

Was lucky enough and bought my Craftsmen's mechanic tool set from Sears when it was all still usa made. I miss Sears.

I wish I'd stocked up on their rubber hoses.

I have this. Rachet broke after dozen light duty uses. Since it's a set you can't walk in the store and exchange it. Called customer service at 2pm on a weekday. Sat on hold for 40 mins and got disconnected

I still have the craftsman tool sets from sears deals. One of my favorite deals was the 52" tool chest at $79-100 range with student discount.
