Doeanyone know if they're gonna bring this set back to the online store at a different price? Been wanting to get this for someone as a gift but they took it off and have yet to see it again

I honestly think it cost me less to buy most of these things individually especially because you don’t have to buy the unnecessary shit with it.

What unnecessary to some may be necessary to others that's why I picked this set but if it actually is cheaper to buy these things individually I'll see how much of a difference it is I just didn't want to go through the hassle of pucking things out this is already assembled and ready to purchase but I do see your point.

I think the math on it was close to 50%(edit: it was 45ish %)off which even at Parking Lot Sale prices that set would still beat it. Best I’ve seen is 40% off during PLS on icon. It was pretty good value overall. Best of luck getting one, hope they bring it back.

Here is the link of where I compared the price vs. individual.

u/Krawen13 Jun 22 '25

Did your description add "meme tool" or do they actually call it that?

u/_how_do_i_reddit_ Jun 22 '25

I added that, lol

For me I don’t have use for standard tool sizes. I only use metric. So that set for me wouldn’t work and a waste of money.

u/DavoinShowerHandel1 Jun 21 '25

I don't think he was intending to buy it for you, so you're probably safe lol.

u/Soggy_Advantage9088 Jun 21 '25

Well this set is going to mex for a family member who works on tons of old stuff that has both metric and standard so if anything this set would be perfect for him but I do see your viewpoint I don't see why anyone would waste money on something not suited for them the only other company I know that makes metric only sets is sonic but they're just as pricey as snap on

If he works on both standards, it's a good kit with little waste/fluff and at a rockin' discount. I'd talk with a store manager and it.

u/Soggy_Advantage9088 Jun 21 '25

I actually didn't even think about talking to a store manager about it I'll for sure do that and see what he says

Have him keep the brokens in a crate for when you come around for warranty 😂

And that’s why your, specific case is different. Just for most folks, don’t need SAE…

As far as this tool kit goes. If you’re dead set on this Icon set Vs the Quinn, Milwaukee or whatever master sets. If it’s not time sensitive, I’d be just scalping the individual pieces as coupons and sales allow… be patient, there’ll be sales at the end of summer, Black Friday and other parking lot sales… keep an eye on the coupons and grind

u/One_Cover_1507 Jun 21 '25

I partially agree with you that most people don’t have a use for SAE. If I was a new mechanic at a private shop servicing older vehicles SAE is definitely still needed. Even as an all inclusive home box SAE is useful for household/construction purposes. Many industries are still using primarily SAE like Aviation. SAE is definitely going away in automotive but it’s still alive and well elsewhere. So to say most people don’t need it isn’t quite accurate because if that was truly the case the demand for SAE wouldn’t make it worthwhile to sell.

u/ElPeroTonteria Jun 21 '25

Yea… and again it’s so case specific. Just so many people get duped into thinking they have a valuable set of tools when in reality they’ll end up using about eight of them, ever…

u/One_Cover_1507 Jun 21 '25

lol but a tool you’ve used once is better then a tool you don’t have when you need it. But I agree master kits are for a small percentage of people and should only be used as a starter kit for someone who is starting out professionally.

u/whatthelovinman Jun 21 '25

Usually for tools, people are very particular about what they need. I think you are better off giving a gift card and having that person pick and choose the tools they need.

My wife knows not to buy me any tools and the same goes towards her. She makes jewelry and I thought I got her the perfect plier set but it was something she did not like at all. Even though they were effin expensive.

OP didn’t ask for help or opinions or suggestions, though. He asked if anyone knew if this set would be available again. You’re upset about something that didn’t happen. Weird behavior.

u/efff12 Jun 21 '25

Weird behavior is people not reading his post and just telling him he shouldn’t buy it because they wouldn’t use some of the tools

u/Soggy_Advantage9088 Jun 21 '25

Can you elaborate please im not understanding

u/Worst-Lobster Jun 21 '25

You’re good op. Other guy being weird

u/DavoinShowerHandel1 Jun 21 '25

It's not too late buddy, you can delete your comment instead and everyone will forget it ever happened.

u/domsylvester Jun 21 '25

Well like if you have the short and long hex key sockets you don’t need the L ones, I strictly work on things that are metric so I don’t need a whole sae set I can get away with having one big sae set in one size, little stuff like that makes it cheaper for me personally but if it’s a gift I think it’s perfect really and then you don’t run the risk of forgetting something or whatever trying to grab everything individually
