Been eyeing on this metric only set for a while since I hate sets with imperial that I never use. Normal price is $99 now it's $69.99 so 30% off. Not much stock and only place available was in Ringwood VIC. Unavailable for delivery, which is also a bit strange.
Not too bad for a metric only set and 1/2 drive too.
nice, it doesn't have a long extension though.
As if they wouldn't include one in this set. I recently got the 3/8 kit and the quality is very good. Made in Taiwan.
In stock across the South GC
The set includes six screwdriver bits, apparently (from the photo) with standard 1/4-inch hex shaft. How on earth are you supposed to use these bits? Does the ratchet handle double as a screwdriver?
Was wondering the exact same thing.
I think I found the answer. This socket set was only sold as "Kincrome advent calendar", which they have been releasing every year. The set in this deal is the Christmas 2021 version. The Christmas 2020 version had more screwdriver bits, and included a 1/4-inch bit holder:

It looks like they provide a basic tool set, and throw in anything they have overstock of. Their 2019 advent calendar is similar, includes a "2m tape measure", which is pretty short by tape measure standards:

i bought the same "advent calendar" for $30 from tool kit depot last december. was surprised/annoyed they didn't include the bit holder.
Guessing here… maybe the 8mm socket.
No, 1/4" bits are ~6.5mm. Guess they could be custom bits but that'd be even worse as you wouldn't be able to replace lost or damaged ones or use others.
This set also was in the advent calendar at Christmas for $30
Found it on the Kincrome website: https://www.kincrome.com.au/search?ProductSearch=p2103
Do Kincrome do advent calendars every year? And where did you see it for $30?
They have for the past 3 (?) years. Usually around the $100 mark at full price but they do go on clearance if there's heaps of stock left in December
Thanks for the info. The deal you linked to has a comment mentioning a different deal, where Bunnings had them for $30 on clearance: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/670810
I'll keep watch for a similar bargain this year, although their advent calendar sets seem to be getting smaller and smaller with every passing year.
Just got the set today. The screwdriver bits are indeed 6.5mm (1/4") so it's pretty much useless, since the smallest socket in the set is 8mm.
For what you get and the quality, especially the wrench, it's decent. I think a longer extension and a 1/2" to 1/4" adaptor would be perfect, but I've got both of these in my old set so not a huge problem.
nvm… it is… I see the symbol in the lid
