I need a mechanics toolset

Guys, I'm tired of looking through my dads crates of dirty mismatched tools, and I wanted to get a basic tool set for use my baby (my CL). I decided on buying from sears (craftsmen) because they offer decent quality but best of all they offer a life-time warranty and I'm the type to take advantage of that kind of thing.

Anyways, heres the one I was thinking about. I wanted to run it past you guys before I purchased it. It's on sale is usually 100 dollars but it's going for 70 right now.

It's a 90 Piece Set


Tool List:
1/4 in. sq. drive sockets: (11) 6 pt. standard (5/32 thru 9/16); (9) 6 pt. standard deep (7/32 thru 9/16 in.); (1 ea.) quick-release ratchet and 3 in. extension bar. 3/8 in. sq. drive sockets: (9) 6 pt. standard (1/4 thru 7/8 in.); (9) 6 pt. standard deep (3/8 thru 7/8 in.); (1 ea.) quick-release ratchet, 3 in. extension bar and 5/8 in. Spark Plug socket. 1/2 in. sq. drive sockets: (11) 6 pt. standard (1/2 thru 1-1/8 in.); (1 ea.) quick-release ratchet and 3 in. extension bar. Additional tools: (8) combination wrenches (1/4, 5/16, 3/8 thru 5/8, 3/4 in.); (20 pc.) standard hex key set; (5 pc.) standard nutdriver bit set; (1) magnetic handle.

Might wanna go with something with some metric in it- Every thing I've done on my car involving sockets I've used metric sockets.

You want to go with at least a 200 pc set with various metric socket sizes. I would get 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 in drive sizes. Not to mention open end wrenches from 8mm-23mm. Various screwdrivers, torx, hex sets.

Just like the others said, everytime I use my tools on the car it's always been metric.
