It really depends on what it is. Pliers are about a $10 difference for their brand. The Knipex are pretty much the same price. Ratchets similar prices. Wrenches a lot cheaper. Screwdrivers not sure of the difference. Other stuff not sure. No this is my 3-5 pairs of bamboo socks. I like them they aren’t as thick or comfortable as the Snap-on but still pretty comfortable. Definitely more odor resistant than the Snap-on though.

Love those Hazet wrenches!
@AutoMechanic I like the look of those thin wrenches. They look like a thinner version of a traditional wrench vs a plate wrench?
Also, I'm sure the bamboo is more sustainable. Glad to see you've gone "green"

AutoMechanic outspends me by at least 30:1.

A single drill bit lol. Have to put up some blinds for mom and it calls for this size. Don’t trust my bits that I have at home which is mostly Warrior from HF. Considering I had to drill out two Warrior bits out of license plate screw holes yesterday for a coworker lol. Good thing is my Matco bits will drill right through the others. I might end up buying a full set of Milwaukee bits for home but I want to find me a car first as that’s what I’m saving all my extra money for.
Buying bits piecemeal at HD will break you, and the quality isn't as awesome as Milwaukee would want you to believe.
Quality cutting tools are sourced through machine shop supplies like MSC, and all you need is not-Chinese HSS. Don't worry about oooh-shiny coatings -- basic black oxide is great and a bit more affordable
NOW to be fair the last time I bought a "set" of drill bits was when I was in school. Machine shops buy each size by the dozen or half-dozen and fill Huot drill indexes which live on the bench.
Also for a great deal of automotive work screw machine (short) drill bits are your friend!! Even in my mills and lathes I run screw machine bits unless I need to drill deeper than a couple inches

Is that the pre-chamber seat? That looks like just the tool to avoid another fiasco.
Any details on this bearing puller set? I'm in the market for a good set.
Looks like just a basic blind hole puller kit? They run mild to wild $$

Anything HAZET is good quality. Often a tad expensive since you're getting "German engineering".
A Proto set (4mm - 10mm) of RBRT hex bit 3/8" drive sockets. I bought them at Zoro, with a 20% off coupon, for $86 +tax.

My trusty old Craftsman 44975 1/2" ratchet finally gave up the ghost and I can't find a rebuild kit. A call to Craftsman revealed that the kit is no longer available, but they sent me a new gunmetal chrome model instead.
I borrowed this from a friend and decided I needed one.
