Default Any thoughts on the jesse james mac tools?

So we've all seen monster garage and know that mac tools
sponsor the show. Have you seen the tool kits they give
out to the kids on the monster nation challenge? They
retail for 599 plus shipping. Any thoughts on this tool set?
Is it worth 599, or would I be just spending money on
the name? It's a 210 piece set in black chrome.

Neat looking, but I'd imagine that the price is mondo jacked to get his goddamn signature and cross on EVERY SINGLE PIECE of those 210 pieces.

Sams had them for $399, I also read they were made by stanley. Not sure why they would have them on their site though? I've seen them in person look to by high quality, very well organized, and if they are truly mac tools then they are worth it. Mac tools are same price as snap on.

Stanley owns MAC tools, so I could see that they are made by Stanley.

Hrm, found this on an ebay auction for a set:
Your looking at a Jesse James Mac Tools endorsed Tool box with tools. This set is complete with 210 pieces. Not to be confused with the one found at a warehouse club.

I just like the black chrome look. Man that's bad ***, they don't sell the stuff separately huh? I could use some of the stuff at work, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than snap on...

I saw these at Sam's too they had a ton of them.
It was the same part # as in the MAC tool flyer, I dont think there is 2 kits.
It was $400 too, not bad.

I also saw them at Sams here in GA for the price listed above, I checked the samsclub.com website and didn't see them though.

I remember posting about this a while back or talkign to someone about them. From what I got, they only have a 1 year waruntee, not lifetime like most Mac hand tools.

They do look badass. I wish you could get some of them seperate though. I like the long patern ratcheting wrenchs.
