I have one of the nut and bolt assortments in question.
The nuts and bolts are not bad quality though not as good
as you would find in a good hardware store that doesn't 
sell them in little plastic packs.  In any case, I would
rate them "usable".  
However, I got my assortment from J.C. Whitney,
P.O. Box 8410, Chicago, Ill., 60680 for only
$9.95 + shipping (see their catalog for details--
for those of you not familiar with J.C. Whitney--
they are a mail order auto parts place).
Up until last October their price has been the usual
19.95 -- since then they seem to have been on a 
continuous sale for 9.95.  They seem to be the same
as sold by D.R.I.--the usual mail order offering.
