at least they included the 18 in that set to many sets exclude 18mm and you need it for a lot of GM brake jobs
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

The Craftsman tools worked for a lot of years until I saw some were China made. I started gathering any name brand tools that were made in the USA. I have amassed a large amount of Proto,Snap-on, Williams, Bonney, S-K, Thorsen, Barcalo, Indestro,Vlcheck, Klein, Wizard (western Auto), Power-Kraft (Wards), Lectrolite, OTC, KD, Kraeuter, Herbrand, and others. These tools were made back when the tool companies were proud of the products they made. Unfortunately, many of these names have gone out of business or been bought out by companies that are now sourcing those tools from China and the like. I have bought all of these tools from flea markets, pawn shops, auctions, and yard sales. If I loose or break a tool, I can just get into my inventory for a replacement. No need to make a trip to town. X2 I'm glad 99.9% of the tools I bought years ago are USA manufactured and made well. I have Craftsman , Gearwrench and Snap-on ratchet wrenches. I'm currently cleaning and reorganizing my tool boxes , this is what 100lbs plus of wrenches look like just dumped into one large drawer. That looks like my wrench’s when I’m looking for a certain one .

Fairly well doesn't cut it when its your profession and the customer is waiting for their car to be finished.
For the shade tree mechanic, those knock offs are great. The old saying....
Different strokes for different folks. Agree

Photos to follow if I can resize or some stupid crap like that That's a heck of a deal. For non-professional use that's all ya need. To own pro grade tools , especially Snap-On for a homeowner is almost stupid. Because Snap-On has stupid prices. I know , I put the Snap-On guy's kids through college......lol FYI - pro tip for all , Never use a ratcheting wrench to break loose a tight or stuck fastener if you can help it. Use a normal wrench to get it loose , then switch to the ratcheting wrench. As a young mechanic still learning , I broke many , many ratcheting socket wrenches. Craftsman , S-K , Mac , Matco and Snap-On , broke them all , even 1/2" drive. Yeah , ya got new ones for free but after a while , I learned to pick up a breaker bar ( non-ratcheting ) and use that instead. I spent less time returning tools I broke. Good thing years ago Sears didn't have a rigorous process to return tools , because if they collected my data they might have blacklisted me for the large amount of tools I replaced.

I was expecting to see a old ratchet wrench being used as a scent post when I opened this. You can imagine my disappointment. Lol. Mine are American made Craftsman.
Looks like he needs another year;-)
