I was victim of this recently. I had a 125.00 gift card that was expiring that day and after looking at Lowe's and Home Depot for something to blow it on I ended up at Harbor Freight armed with the card and a 25% off entire purchase coupon.

Ended up buying a lot of those little things that is nice to have in the tool box and work bench. I'm not a daily mechanic so the tools will probably last my life time.

When I had my manufacturing business I reverted from buying the good tools to the cheap tools. The workers usually broke or lost a tool long before the tools useful life was over. That was until they had to start furnishing their own tools. Their whole outlook changed...

Funny how that is... we found the kids didn't take good care of the cars we bought them but those bad habits changed rapidly when they had to buy their own!!
