If your livelyhood depends on your tools, I would agree, Snap-On, Craftsman, or other 1st tier brand, but for something you use once in a while, Harbor freight works for me.

My primary sockets, open end/box wrenches, etc. are Craftsman, but most other low use and "mobile/track" tools are HF, and therby expendible...

P.S. My Craftsman 3/8" ratchet has failed/broken 3 times, but my $5 42 piece socket set no name ratchet refuses to die...
