is that Club + price with the credit? Or straight up price for members? If so, could be cheaper again.
If not, that isn't taking membership price into account.
club plus price is for existing members. if you're a new member, it'd be less $5 with your sign-up credit
Wonder how this compares to the 132-piece set that was $149 a few weeks ago and now back for $187:

Got a good rap when it was on Ozbargain:
I dont see the value in this one as a toolkit, the items add up to value though. Its a socket set with a handful of spanners (to many spanners missing for them to be reliably useful over time IMO), the sockets being in 1/4 and 3/8 drive. What I dont get is the listed size range in 3/8 6 point, (3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16") youll note they repeat sizes, not sure whats going on there (surely a typo). I would expect after 3/4 to see 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, even up to 1" etc but not that large in a 3/8 drive (some 3/8 sets do have them though). Id prefer 1/2" drive for sockets that size.
I bought the 132 piece set you mention at $149 to carry in the boot on long trips, a lot easier to carry than my toolbox. Its good IMO and at $149 a bargain, probably decent value at $189 too, not so much value over $200, RRP is claimed to be $249.
This set is just a combo 1/4" and 3/8' drive socket set, the spanners are a bonus and no where near complete enough in size range to be useful over the longer term. Personally Id pass on this one even if I didnt have other tools. They had the Stanley 1/2 drive socket set in a tin case the other day for under $70, that was a good buy. Seems they will keep doing these deals, Id wait, the 132 piece is the pick of them IMO.
Its just an opinion.
The repeated sizes is most likely a different drive for the same size range. I.e a 1/4 and 3/8 version of 3/8".
Unlikely. They have 4 lines of socket sizes listed for 3/8, and another 4 lines of sizes for 1/4". Looking at the set, 2 lines for std 6 pt sockets (Met and then Imp), 2 lines for deep 6 pt sockets (Met and then Imp).
Copied and pasted from the site listing.
3/8"dr 6pt Socket (10mm – 19mm)
3/8"dr 6pt Socket (3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8")

didnt realize it was today only
