Found this deal online: # Hart 140-Piece Mechanics Tool Set for $70 + free shipping. Sounds like a steal, but is it any good? I'm a bit skeptical about Hart's socket quality - usually their drills are okay but hand tools... Anyone tried these?

I've had a Hart set for about 6 months now. For the price, they're honestly not bad. I use them for weekend projects on my Jeep. The ratchets feel a little gritty, but they haven't failed me yet. At $70 for 140 pieces, even if you break a few, you're not out much. Just don't expect Snap-on quality.

As a pro, I wouldn't trust my livelyhood to Hart, but for a home garage or emergency kit, why not? I've seen these sets go on sale for even less sometimes. The case is nice - keeps everything organized. Only complaint: some sockets are a bit sloppy on lugs. But for $70, I'd say go for it, especially if you're starting out.

I'm a die-hard Milwaukee guy, but I'll admit that Hart has stepped up their game recently. They're owned by TTI, same as Ryobi and Milwaukee, so there's some decent engineering behind them. For $70, you're getting a socket for every occasion. It's a solid starter set or a backup. Just don't expect them to hold up to daily abuse on a construction site.
