H F or china freight as I call them has mostly junk
china made stuff has very very poor metallurgy
I look for taiwan made stuff at a minimum
I really like to hunt swap meets and garage sales
for older american tools as a beat to death rusty
snap on or SK or even crapsman is way better
then the china or viet or indo tools
but by far the worst in metallurgy is india
they must use old pot metal instead of iron
BIG LOTS has some good close outs on desent cheap tools sometimes BUT you never know whats in stock there
