Stop in for a cup of coffee

I think more of what I will do with them vs how many time I will use. They are light years ahead of the old 'Taiwan tools' that the chrome flaked off. One area I have had problems is small bits. hex torx etc from set. Non hardened junk... have twisted a few in two on first use. I forget if my metric hex sockets I got recently are HF or Husky, I saw one of the small ones is twisted and I've barely used them.

I agree. My power tools are Milwaukee but for general use I'll grab HF drill bits... but if I've got something that is detail or accuracy required I'll drop some dollars. My carpentry tools I've had since the 80s because that was my living.
