I bought this kit to keep in the house and avoid having to run to my larger tool chest in the garage when I need a couple of basic tools. In general, the tool quality is good for general household use, and I really only have two complaints about the kit. The first that is that the ratchet is basically junk (but what can you really expect for $43?). It's O.K. for light duty work, but don't expect to crank on it very hard without it breaking. If you think you'll need this tool often, consider buying a higher quality ratchet and socket kit.The other issue that I have is that there are no wrenches included in the kit. I plan on picking up a cheap crescent wrench to add to mine. (Come on, Stanley, increase the price a few bucks if you have to, but make this a complete kit by adding a crescent wrench!) Finally, the plastic box that the tools come in is nice from the standpoint of being able to quickly locate a tool, but the box takes up a lot of storage space. I bought a small tool bag to keep the tools in, and I found it more convenient. You have to look a little closer to find the tool you want with the bag, but there aren't enough pieces in this kit to create problems finding tools.
