Hot take: those cheap socket sets from Harbor Freight are actually fine for home use
I bought a $20 set 4 years ago expecting to replace it in 6 months, but I've abused those sockets with a breaker bar and only snapped one. Has anyone else found a budget tool that just refuses to die?

Same thing happened to me with a Pittsburgh set I got on sale for like $15. That little 3/8 ratchet has been through hell on rusty suspension bolts and it still clicks like new. I actually broke a Craftsman socket before I broke one of those cheap ones, go figure. Got any beaters in your toolbox that just won't quit?

Same here, got a cheap Pittsburgh set years ago and that little ratchet just keeps going no matter what I throw at it. My name brand sockets have chipped but those Pittsburgh sockets are still holding up fine.
