Harbor Freight...it is what it is. I buy some of their tools knowing they are low quality.If they break...so what. They are throwaways.

Or you can be like the government and spend $60 bux for a $ 3 dollar hammer, but if you are a professional mechanic who relies on his tools for his livelihood and will use them thousands of times, then buy the $60 buck hammer.

$30 is a little steep for a snap on... is there any other makes around that are not as expensive?? Otherwise I will have to bite the bullet and buy from snap on

Any help appreciated!

Spend the money and get a SNAP-ON CYCLE SET tool kit, you can just about disassemble the bike on the side of the road with this kit, it is under $300.00, and it has gotten me out of a pinch several times.https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=380230498642
