You can NEVER have enough 10mm sockets. I swear there is a 10mm Gremlin, that eats those...

I've purchased a few of those Duralast sockets recently from our local AutoZone when I've needed one in a pinch. (AZ is 5 min away) Anyway, I haven't broken one yet. For cheap auto parts store tools, they have been darn good.

I have to say that I buy a lot of my tools at Home Depot during the holidays. I scored a 290 piece Mechanic set in the EVA trays for my box for $169 & a 108 piece master impact set for less than $200 delivered. The deals are generally really good, as is the quality and the lifetime warranty with Husky is great. No matter where you move there's sure to be a home depot to exchange a broken at if needed. I try to think of them as the new Craftsman lol.

I learned my lesson and try to buy things once now though I made the mistake of buying a China Freight tap & die set. It was successfully used 1 time before the taps started breaking, but it did what I needed and saved a trip to town, so not bad for a Jackson I guess.

To this day the best ratchet/socket set I have ever had is a Companion brand that came in a small blow molded case. It probably came from a Discount Auto Parts or the like. I got it at a white elephant exchange with my truck club when I was about 23 and it, even with my Husky set, is still my go to set 20 years on. It even has it's original 10mm with it!

This is my wheel bearing packer. Have had it for over 40 years, can't tell you how many sets of bearings it has packed.....scary!

I but almost all my tools from harbor freight... because I'm cheap, and so are they, lol.

If I end being real disappointed in something of their's, then I go out and buy the nice version. Haven't been let down yet.

I went through a phase where all I wanted to buy was Snap or Mac. Great tools. But, very, very expensive.

Guess what I do now, if I need something for a one time use.....I go to HF or as I mentioned above, Auto Zone or Amazon.

Probably 60% of my hand tools are actually 50's and 60's vintage Craftsman that were handed down from my father.

Got these this weekend from the tool booth at the truck show.
