The ear muffs are very comfortable and work well. The other stuff is quite useful also, especially for $50.

But is it quality? I'm wary of buying tools for 50$, which I see name brands I know selling for multiple hundreds of dollars.

Wow! That is a good deal and Ryobi is generally decent...Would be good for odd jobs. I can't get over the headphones though Paul...They look like you're waiting for the mother-ship...

Suck it.

Yeah, I know. They are goofy.

That said:
- The flashlight is quite bright and lasts a long time with the large, rechargeable li-ion battery
- The muffs are very comfortable and the mics work better than any others I've tried.
- One of the items works as an external battery for an iPhone and it works very well for watching movies on a long flight.
- The snips work very well for opening those bubble packs from hell that Costco uses so much.
- The screwdriver is good for a power screw driver but I'm used to a Makita 14V impact driver, so I'm spoiled.

For $50, it's a very good value. It's not a substitute for a good quality (Dewalt, Makita, etc) rechargeable drill.

When you are at the range, do you take a break and hum: "dee-dee-dee-dum-deeeeee"....

Is this an online deal, or available in-store as well? I've been contemplating using the phones for weed trimming etc, (think after all these years it's getting to me) and well, more power tools is always a good thing...

Heh, well, I actually wore them at Harvard last weekend and ran a cable to my iPhone so I could listen to music while I killed some paper (the muffs accept input from an mp3 player). I found that Vivaldi got me better groups than Iron Maiden.

I'm not sure if that's an instore deal or not.
