Craftsman mechanics tool set is one of the only quality toolmakers that has a package of this kind. Most of the other high quality tool company's prefer to offer their tools ala Carte, see EXPENSIVE, while most of the rest who do offer these combos just are not worth the steel they are forged from. Features of the Craftsman set include but are not limited to:

2 Socket Drives

3 Extensions

6 Nut Drivers

2 Pliers

2 Quick Release Ratchets

4 Screw Drivers

55 Sockets

10 Wrenches

You may also want to check out Garden Tool Sets and Household Tool Sets. Both can offer even deeper discounts over individual tools than either of the aforementioned sets. For instance, you can get a comprehensive 11 piece garden tool set at a number of home improvement stores for less than $40.

Household tool sets that usually contain a lower quality tool can often be a good idea to keep in a kitchen for those on the fly repairs. Often, you don't need the kind of firepower around the house as is required in the garage. For convenience, you can pick up a well-rounded set of tools for around $25.
