I have been looking for a decent socket/wrench set and have seen these at wally’s world. I’m not a mechanic, I’m just looking for a decent set. Dewalt/BD seems to have a socket/wrench “brand” in every store nowadays. Is the Bostitch set a true step lower than the new Dewalt set? Are these comparable to a Husky set or a Craftsman set?

I have the same Husky set and its been good enough for the stuff that I do around the house.
The Bostich set looks pretty decent. Both are OEM’d by Stanley, and given that they are geared toward similar markets, they’re probably pretty equal in terms of quality.
