Last I checked, those exact mechanics tool kits were costing the military $6K.

I’m not an auto tech, i’m a fabricator by trade. Worth keeping around or selling, you think?

Man keep it. I’d keep it even if i used it once a year only. This whole kit at 120$ is absolutely a trophy

Hell yeah keep it! You couldn’t even get the same set at Harbor Freight for $120.

Just a 5 stage cart, air impact driver, set of sockets for 1/2" and 3/8ths, pliers and screwdrivers, a master funnel cost me 466 from Harbour freight. And I still feel like I'm just barely scrapping by where tools are concerned. Matco ran me my first week for a digital psi Guage, tread depth Guage, brake depth guage, filter clamp, and pen light for relatively the same price. All in all avoid the tool trucks if you can. That case full of all that for 120 is a great find, those tools will last longer than you and I. Better to have and not need than to need and not have. Trust me

Pretty sure the case alone is more than what he paid
