YMMV went to my local Lowe's to get these and after looking for them with 3 different associates we finally found them on the top shelves and they had them on clearance for $24.98 for that price I got 6 for everyone's car.

51 pieces of those 126 pieces are hex keys and screw bits so it's only a 75 piece set if you're only looking for wrenches and sockets. The Craftsman has 2 wrenches, the Kobalt only has 1. Both have their place but don't be fooled by the piece count.

The 88 piece is USA made from the now closed Texas plant. Makes it a rare collectible unless Stanley Black and decker ever starts producing tools in the US again. I scoured my area a couple of days ago and was able to find this set at $50. Still a deal in my opinion. For what it is worth, I also got the kobalt set. It is good value for the money.

Yep, CMMT45018. This will be harder to find than the rest of the current clearance Craftsman tool set deals, the production run was obviously limited and reseller/collector buying pressure picked up once the news of the Craftsman USA manufacturing closure hit. Quality control seems to be an issue plaguing the few tools that ever came out of that plant, I guess if a person is fortunate enough to have a "good" set, they may ultimately have some collector value.

Yes. The quality is not quite there. I have seen reviews pointing out the fact. I was eyeing a taiwan made gun metal set but oos by me.

Why doesn't Lowe's do free shipping? Home Depot their main competitor does.

OOS for me. I like how brickseek still shows I have two Lowe's stores in NYC that were closed for 5 years already.
