Here is the best place to buy tools for all your DIYers

[Tamago]

stick to craftsman for sockets and ratchets. i've had many HF tools break under even hand-loading and caused some damage..

their spring compressors are really cheesy too, i just rent a set from the local autoparts shop these days (after having a HF one fail on me).

but HF is a great place to get shrink tube, electrical hardware, air tools etc. just be careful with their ratchets and sockets :)

+1, my husband has broken several and now prefers going to sears to get the occasional socket (craftsman) he may need.

But yeah, HF has several good deals, but most of the time you do get what you pay for. I like buying NiMh batteries there, they're usually pretty cheap.
