    Craftsman Universal Socket Set

    http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...ku=00902496000

    For $13 bucks, is it too good to be true? It does basically everything, including external torx, which is a big selling point for me. What do you all think? I'm starting my collection of tools and was thinking of starting with this.

    $2 off isn't something that I'd pull the trigger on TBH. Wait til you have a coupon or something and then get the deal.

    If you're looking for tools though. I'd suggest looking into this:

    I hope to soon be building a tool-chest as well. In a year I'm going to be a big boy will be on my own and can't use daddies tools anymore...scary.

    What size drive is that? Thats a good price for that set. If I didn't have already....I would be adding to cart.

    Honestly though...look for tools you like, local, that carry a lifetime warranty. I broke two of my Kobalts doing the Benzs brakes. Took them down to Lowes....and hassle free, they gave me two new ones.

    Get yourself a Ratchet Set with a lifetime warranty. Everything I've needed to do on my car has been done with my Craftsman 106 piece set. Got it for Christmas, think it was around $50.

    Those might be ok for light duty work but for anything that might be seriously tight you want a good 6 point socket on it. There's just no way a design like that is going to get as good of a fit on a bolt head/nut as a true 6 or 12 point socket. Like you said though, for an E Torx those should come in handy. There are some E Torx that a normal 12 point metric socket fit great on.

    I'd do like Kyle said and get yourself a decent size Craftsman wrench and socket combo set. I'm still using some I got for Christmas over 20 years ago.

    Great set. Only one down side is that you're paying for a lot of "Standard" stuff vice all metric. The other questions is....do you live near a Sears?

    This is Amerikuh!

    I understand if this is just a set for the car, but it never hurts to have standard tools when you need to fix something around the home.
