Well I bit the bullet. I'm gonna be torked if they are $50 cheaper next month. I went by HF and looked at those tray organizers, but didn't pick them up as I was still undecided. Looks as though I will be going to HF tomorrow.

This site is gonna break me .

Been kicking myself ever since I talked myself out of picking this set up when it was 250$. With the 35 off 300 visa promo for sears I got these for 265 this time. Still good price.

Grab some of the plastic rails while you are there. you will need them for double squares and some misc. stuff.

I put the 12 points on the trays which filled them up pretty good and the 6 points on rails (I think I had to get 18 rails or so) so I don't have to deal with the gaps in the trays.

On the webpage there is an option to follow the price and receive emails if it drops below a specified amount. I'm not sure how well it works but it might be worth a shot.

Anyone confirm that these are dual-marked or are they easy read (laser etched, no stamping)?

So how many spots are actually missing from the HF trays? I would only put the 6pts on the trays. Just wondering which spots are missing.
From what i can see, the pics above don't show many at all, maybe like 5 or 6.

Do these sets include some sockets not available in store?

There is quite a few missing believe it or not and you will have quite a few that dont have spots. I filled in some of the missing spots with other sizes to save space. Theres quite a few missing metric 6pt sockets. So i filled in that area with 12pts that go larger then the tray holds (quite a few).


Yes, they do. Infact I was missing one size, and had 2 sockets that the laser etching wasnt on properly, it was covering the stamped area. The local store could only swap me one of the sockets. THe missing one and the other bad laser etched one i got from calling the 800 num on the parts list. They sent them right out and in about a week i had them.

I would HIGHLY recommend you account for each socket. Like i said i was missing one, and the laser etching on 2 was screwed up. DO NOT waste your time calling sears customer service...They are a bunch of turds. Just call the 800 number on the parts list.

that feature works... but usually about 2 days too late. better off setting up deal alerts on slickdeals.
