I need to be the counterpoint guy in this discussion. I have a lot of HF tools...and I use them daily and have for years. I've never had one fail...I'm sure if I took a 4' pipe to the end of a 1/2 wrench or socket I could break one, but I'm sure I could break a Craftsman or Snapon tool as well. They may not look pretty but they work! I noticed that not one comment was made or example given about an HF tool that failed. I'm no shill for HF (I have craftsman & Stanley tools as well) but facts are facts and value is value.
