HF stuff seems to be getting slightly better.

It varies.

I’ve broken some stuff, but look a little closer before buying and use with discretion as opposed to the way I used to use Craftsman tools...

My impact sockets from decades ago before the i’net when they were mail order are still in near new condition despite agressive use over the years.

Very impressed with the 3/4” Torque Wrench value...

(I HATE FWD ball bearing wheel bearings.)

Yeah! I do love going there. It’s like a Christmas/Candy store to every dude’s little boy inside!

...and more expensive...

Way back, I bought about a dozen ratchet sets in steel cases. They were made in India, US and metric, ½-inch and ¼-inch, six point, eight point, with adapter, speeder and ratchet wrench. Not bad for what it was. Sometimes, I used a socket as a spacer.

$3 each set!

With HF tools, sometimes you win, sometimes lose.
