--snip-- This is one set of tools that I would NOT buy at Harbor Freight. --snip-- That's probably exactly what I _would_ do, given the price, the lifetime warranty and the fact that I would rarely use these things. This Harbor Freight set http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/sockets-accessories/21-piece-metric- 3-4-quarter-inch-heavy-duty-socket-set-5494.html is $50. A 46mm socket alone from Snap On or Craftsman is $60. I'm not paying that kind of money for a single-application use-twice-in-lifetime tool. Maybe we could get together and pay the four figures for the Snap On set and time share it. Or not. : / FWIW I've never broken a hand tool from HF. I have broken a couple of Craftsman wrenches.
