Craftsman 230pc plus extras - what am I missing?

Wanted a vehicle repair to go setup.

Snagged the 230pc for $99 and added some extras to round out with swivels, extensions, Torx and some USA spark plug sockets that were floating in my larger roller cab.

Add the 2 drawer versastack for stuff that I run to the garage and back when working on brakes.

Thinking of adding some of $19 raised panel metric wrenches and impact 1/2 shallows deeps and extensions on a new single drawer Versastak with my Dewalt 1/2 impact wrench.

Any ideas?

Remember Craftsman Professional?

It was their premium tool line aimed towards mechanics and other professional tradesmen who needed high quality tools but didn’t want to pay tool truck prices. Considering how popular Icon is today, there still seems to be a market for such tools. I would love to see Craftsman Professional make a comeback. I bought some of them back in the Sears era and still use them as a professional mechanic today.

Repair help for tool belt

Does anyone have any experience repairing tool belts with this kind of damage? I reached out to Craftsman but they said because it was bought at Sears they can't help and Sears isn't really in the picture anymore lol.

So I guess I'm just looking for creative or reliable ways to repair this, I like the belt but if the fix costs more than a new one I probably would just replace it I guess.

Has anyone used both of these?

Why is the Dewalt Double the price, besides having a 3 year warranty? I can’t find the mah on the Dewalt vs the craftsman’s 6000 mah.

Best Full Bank Cart for the Money?

Craftsman just released their new Full Bank Utility Cart. Anyone have any thoughts on it? I haven’t been able to find much information about it, I’m guessing because it was just released.

The regular price is $700, but it’s currently on sale at Lowe’s for $500. At a similar price point to the US General Full Bank Cart, which would you pick?

Are there any other full bank utility carts around this price point?

Just did a round up of some of the deals.

They are all at Lowe's I'm sure you guys have seen them all already. The 9ah battery IMO is a great deal and its still going on right now!

Also please excuse my poor AI photo. I know they inaccurately display tools sometimes!
