I've got nothing against Chinese tools, unless they're disguised under a well known American name. Not a bad deal, but that’s about what they’re worth.

Scrolling down I didn't find too much info, but I did find this: "Do you want to receive an extra 20% discount on this item when Amazon.com is the seller? Enter code SAVEXTRA at checkout." Sooo the price on this set is $32 and not $40. That's a more than reasonable price for a starter set or as part of a car kit.
