I picked through and bought one or two of the sockets I used the most at the time, I still have some of them today.
If I had a crystal ball, I would have bought up all the 10mm sockets, and sold them off a little at a time. I wouldn't have had to work.

LOL on the 10mm...
When I compare tool prices of today with those of even 15-20 years ago, I shudder. As I've posted here before, glad I loaded up on the USA made Craftsman when I did. That's the vast majority of my sockets collection.
Harbor Freight? There's where it gets confusing...seems they offer several lines of different quality. The lowest price line is junky made in China stuff, the middle line a mix of China and Taiwan, and the top line is supposed to be good, made in Taiwan, but also priced the same as other Taiwan brands.
