"Tools"..........the poster child for the statement "You get what you pay for".
If you think that Chinese garbage at Harbor Freight or anywhere else holds half a wick to decent american tools like Snap On, Matco, S & K, Klien and the others....Either you have never had to rely on tools for your profession, never really invested yourself in or used any decent tools to any extent, or are happy with tools that may or may not get you by. Possibly you don't care about skinned knuckles, broken fingers or damage to whatever you're working on. If you're buying off low cost, the person next to you with the more expensive decent tools (typically American made) will be more efficient, safe, prepared and reliable. That's all there is to it.
I have a few Chinese tools at my house. Actually, they're lying somewhere out in the field behind my house! (bad x-mas gifts)
