8 piece - electrical tape + 3 more tools = 10 piece
That's stuff most of us do, and kudos to you, but you missed his point that these are designed to use while the power is on. Do not leave the power on while doing the things you described. This is not a trick tool so that you can save some time by leaving the breaker on, it's for more advanced work where you cannot turn it off.
I'm not really sure. People doing minor electrical work likely aren't skilled and shouldn't be working on anything while energized. A pro would spend more on one tool than this whole kit cost if they were working on stuff energized.

I have insulated screwdrivers, but wouldn't replace them with Amazon-branded ones. Not worth it.

I heard that Amazon Basics tools line is better than Snap-on. At this price it's no brainer

Sarcasm?

I changed out my hvac capacitor and contactor, and have done minor wall socket and light switch work , and fixed fridge at my house. The things I was able to do ain't rocket science if ur safe and read up on it.
