The Rules

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I have several socket sets and wrenches from harbor freight that are perfectly fine. The 1/4" set, the open ended ratchet set, the short impact set, and the long metric wrenches, these cover 99% of everything. If you don't abuse your tools, then they won't break. I even have a second 1/4" set from Aldi of all places and never had an issue with it. I'm not using them all day every day, so I'm not that worried about buying expensive stuff.

The point is never expensive. The point is always that it lasts. Sometimes that means more expensive, but not always.

DeWalt is a special case, because no matter what we buy for wireless tools, it's going to need batteries and the batteries are not cross compatible. So that's more about total cost of ownership. My TCO goes down if I stay within their battery ecosystem.

I'll have a look around for cheap-but-good impact sockets when the time comes. I'm not in a position to need them quite yet.
