Got a set of gear wrenches from there about 5 years ago and they still work great. Screwdriver sets are cheap and have lasted also.

Now I wouldn't buy power tools there, no but most of their hand tools are pretty durable especially for the price

This thread is literally a self fulfilling prophecy:

Don't buy tools there if you use them a lot.
I won't buy tools from there because I use them a lot.

Well no shite! Ha

I also asked my wife's grandfather about a sawzall before I bought. He said go to HF and run it until it breaks and then go get another one. He has a bunch of property that he manages. Buys old trailers and fixes them up the rents them out. He says some may last 3 months, some may last 6 years. But for $25 or so each he doesn't care.

I bought a tile cutter and electric hand sander (Chicago) that was way better than Black and Decker from Home Depot. So it can be good
