Looking for a new tool set/mini roller chest combo.
Last time I bought a set it was a standard craftsman mechanics tool set with the top/bottom chest.
I’m now in the market for another similar set. The same craftsman set is non existent. Can’t buy it. They advertise it but it’s unavailable in store, to ship, etc.
The next best thing I’ve found is the 432 piece husky set st Home Depot with their top/bottom cab. About $700. I’d have to add some t-wrenches, pliers, etc.
Are there any sets I should be looking at? Is there anything else out there worth checking out?
Set is for dirtbikes, cars, etc.
Thanks!

The way i gathered my tools is by getting a lower 44” harbor freight toolbox. I got a big husky socket kit for xmas one year. Then after that go to harbor freight for wrench sets and ratchets, impact sockets etc... i slowly got the basic tools down and then started collecting the specialty tools from tusk and motion pro.
Id do it that way again rather than getting a kit with 1000 tools and not using 1/2 of it. All in all i think my tools total value is like $2000. Cheap and does the job.
Id recommend getting good screwdrivers though. Dont skimp on them as the cheap ones dont fit right and will round philips heads.

Nice box. I have that same screwdriver kit. Love it!
My dad just started buying craftsman kits. I went down to Harbor Freight and just pieces together my own set. Bought a roller and top chest. Shallow and deep in SAE and metric for the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/8 drives. Wrenches, Allen wrenches, etc.
Just need to find a high dollar torque wrench now. It’s the only hand tool I’ll spend a bunch on. The hunt goes on now. Thanks for all the replies!
