Craftsman 230 Pc mechanics set - Amazon

[BobbyV]

I wish I would have purchased mine from Lowe's with my military discount. But I was hoping I'd get the 286 piece from Amazon. Knew it was a longshot the way my luck runs. Mine shipped from TN. You people that got the 286 piece need to send them back and explain you ordered the 230 piece.

I didn't think Lowe's would honor the discount on sale items?

Not gonna lie. I've been pretty impressed with my Pittsburg tools from Harbor Freight over the years. They aren't your classic USA Craftsman for sure, but IMHO they are better and cheaper than the current Chinese Craftsman.


Edit to add:
If I'm gonna get Chinese tools, I want to pay Chinese prices.. LOL

I've heard good things about those. I considered getting them instead of the craftsman. Well, the icon brand I think. The push a button and it shows up convenience won the debate.

They have this set for 99 dollars. It has drawers that work and all organized. Heck of a deal. They sent me the 262 piece instead of the 230. They might be out of the 230 and just upgrading the orders. Seems like an incredible deal to me. Very happy with it.

I think that montesa owes all of us 32 pieces of craftsman tools who only received the 230 kit. Who is with me on this?

No doubt that would be the right thing to do, and since I'm sending mine back, and he was the one that got me into this, I think he should kick in a dozen donuts also.

Its a great deal for 99 dollars! I can't see what your issue is with it. The wrenches are better than all the others I have. Even 20 year old Craftsman's. It has tons of great reviews all around. I have used quite a bit of them already. Works great. Just the ratchets are with a hundred to me.

I'm happy enough so far with mine but I would be much happier if I got another $50 worth of tools for free like some here did.

Can you see anything wrong with the wrenches? What's bad about them. I've compared them to all the other tools I have. Old Craftsman, Pittsburg and others and these seem higher quality to me. I like the high polish. Cleans a lot easier than my older craftsman wrenches.

I never said anything bad about them but I haven't used them yet. Just looked them over a bit when they were delivered. Seems a decent enough deal for $99.

Well one guy said the wrenches were awful. I think they're great. Was wondering what your opinion was.
