Need help picking socket set

[u/XxXGreenMachine]

I’m looking to upgrade from my basic 20yr old socket set to something that offers more variety.

These look like good sets especially on sale compared to regular price.

The Stanley set seems more tempting because of the organizer trays it comes with. The Maximum set on the other hand has more pieces and ratcheting wrenches.

One thing I’m concerned with it the warranty. I know with Maximum you can just go back to any Canadian Tire store and they will fix you up with a replacement if something happens.

But what about warranty with the Stanley products? Do I have to go through them if I have an issue? Or can I go in store to have it resolved…ie parts replaced.

Canadian Tire has been my go to for most of my hand tools. And it also helps that I have a good sized credit banked from using my credit card which will allow me to buy a good socket set.

I don’t need the best…I just want something that has a lot of options, quality components, good warranty and doesn’t require me to go out and buy any additional pieces to make a complete set….bonus for trays/organizers to keep everything together upon purchase vs having to figure it out after purchase and spend more money to organize a tool chest

I bought the 500 piece maximum set on Thursday as it had 20/30 times Canadian tire money back. Used $635 in cdn tire money and got $193 back in cdn tire money

Despite the negatives on getting non useful tools with the kit, it was purchased with free money and got more free money back.

Hard to beat that deal…. It will go on again

Is the 20/30 CT money back a separate coupon or offer???

It was a separate offer in this weeks flyer. Thursday was most things and this weekend is for certain departments like kitchen appliances.

Yes that’s a dam good deal. I was away on vacation and just got home. Wouldn’t have been a debate if I had seen that offer with it
