You will get what you pay for.
I bought a $40 ball joint tool set, bent the C-clamp on the first
real job we tried (replacing W126 ball joints, a royal pain).
I just spent $180 on a Specialty Products ball joint tool set that
looked identical, but this time the clamp stayed true even though we
really pulled on it.
A friend of mine bought an AC vacuum pump from them, then spent the
rest of the day looking for the oil for it. Nice pump, but no vacuum
pump oil in the store, no sign that it was necessary, the whole thing
was a pain.

My last customer service experience at Sears was so bad that I'm going
to try something different. I've almost always bought Craftsman
tools,
even though I think their quality has declined over the years. The
last
tool I wanted to buy (a stubby 3/8" ratchet handle) was in a locked
rack. So I had to wait for over half an hour for the ONE
slow-as-molasses, dim-witted salesperson in the tools dept. to finish
helping the two people who were there before me.
I've never tried HF hand tools before, but for the price and ease of
online ordering, I'm going to give them a chance.
