Just ordered this set from HD and had It shipped to my local store. Got really good reviews and should serve me well. $89.00 from 200.

Love me a good tool thread.  I can't walk into a home depot or harbor freight without buying everything in sight.  They're like candy stores.

If you're using this as a starter kit to start working on your car and you don't already have one, get yourself a good 1/2 inch breaker bar.  Everyone should have at least one.

Just ordered one. Can't beat 110 off and you can't have enough tools. Thanks for the heads up

That's great. Dare I say, this may be made in America? Can it be for that price? I have researched my tail off for the last week for a set like this. Nothing is made in America at the price point I was shopping in.
Anyway, 1/2 inch breaker bar....would a 1/2 inch Tourque Wrench with a 25"or so handle fit that need? I need a tourque wrench too.

You don't want to break bolts with a torque wrench.  It could throw off the calibration and really not what it's made for.  Breaker bar to break loose and a torque wrench to tighten to spec.  Pretty soon you'll catch the bug and move on to a compressor and air tools.  A quality impact wrench makes life very easy.

And nothing is made in america these days.  Even with completely overpriced snap on, not everything they make is made in the US.
