Yes I know it HF, but I have this set as part of my "junkyard kit". Its decent quality, and impressively inclusive as far as sockets. Best part is its bang for the buck, and easy to tell if you gathered up all of it before you move on.
I am pretty tough on ratchets and sockets, not afraid to use a cheater or deep socket with a long extension over the handle to break bolts loose (or break them off if I feel the need). I have yet to split one of these sockets or strip a ratchet, and I did try with the 1/2" drive just to see what it would take. I failed, but then I wasn't determined to break it, just to see if it would take what I've done in the past to my C-man ratchet. It did, and then some, I was impressed for the price. Betting it would take just as much as my C-man to break it.
Not sure I'm allowed to post the coupon link, but if anyone wants it let me know and I will PM it.
Its probably available on the net publicly somewhere anyway.
