My tools are a mix of every kind.. from snap-on to Hazet to Harbor Freight to Amazon and craftsman…
there are plenty of times where a big hammer, an angle grinder and a welder make the tool required for the job… and if the “new” tool survived the operation it will be proudly put in the toolbox… that’s what the main reason is for cheap tools for me… and yes, I do harden the soft china “steel” 😜
Doing a job requiring more accuracy, the US or German tools get very handy..
