I went into Harbor Freight about a year ago to just look around, I had no plans on buying anything. I found a 10 piece set of pliers for 8 dollars. All of them still work great, two of them sit in a junk drawer for small household needs, they do exactly what a 20 dollar or 25 dollar pair would do except I paid less than a dollar for it. I have a cheap set of sockets I keep inside also..I keep the more expensive craftsman in my truck.
