Damm thats a lot of money right there.... I dont have thousands and thousands in tools but have all the ones needed to take a DSM appart. I got them mostly from Auto Zone and its better than them crappy ones at walmart made in china. I wish I had top brand tools like matco or snap on though, maybe someday when im older...
No Sears close to you? Craftsman makes great tools and are relatively affordable. Plus, lifetime warranty FTW!!
I guess being too nice and lending something can cause problems
I buy a whole bunch of Harbor Freight crap, breaks all the time, but Lifetime Warranty is Lifetime Warranty. Why spend 250.00 for a ratcheting box end wrench set and possibly never see it break with it's Lifetime Warranty, when you can buy a 21.99 set at Harbor Freight, break it 3 times a month and just go in and keep getting a new one. Heck saved me a lot of money.

So you do not have to run back and forth several times a month to return it. Simple. Spend the money to get a quality product.
People who spend the money, like myself. Use them on a everyday use. As a career, job etc...
So they need something that will last a lifetime. Not a lifetime of replacing it.
Most people on here use simple, cheaper tools just to work on their everyday vehicles on the weekends. And some who do it for a job/career.
Another way to look at it.
That reminds me. I have a couple ratchets I need to take back and get replaced. They locked up on me.
You'll learn how much force to use, and what direction to push. It's part of being a mechanic. Kind of like learning that a Crescent wrench is actually only useful as a beating bar.BUT the biggest advantage - those Harbor Freight tools DO break, usually when your knuckles are most vulnerable. Ya band aids are cheap too, but I would rather not have to use them!
