> i buy only the cheapest brand i can find Unless you rarely use your tools, this is a BIG mistake, and I can't stress that enough. It's going to cost you more in the long run replacing your shitty cheap tools than it would to buy decent midgrade shit that's going to last for more than one job.
I'm not shilling for snap-on or mac tools here, but don't buy bottom of the barrel shit, man. I'll admit I bought a cheap chinese socket set from a local auto parts store once, but it was a pretty good assortment of sockets. It was marked around $25 USD, but it rang up to be something like $15. I couldn't say no to that price. Granted, not all the sockets are quite the right size (some are slightly off, but good enough for most situations). That being said, I managed to break both the 1/2" and 3/8" drive ratchets, so I bought a decent ratchet (probably about $20, nothing over the top), and I still use that set whenever I'm working on my cars or whatever.
That story is basically an exception to the rule. For other stuff, like pliers, vice-grips, or wire strippers, spend a few more dollars and get something that won't break as soon as you look at it the wrong way. I wouldn't worry as much about stuff like a hammer or pry bars. Anything with moving parts, you're probably better off buying something decent the first time, and not having it break in the middle of a job when the local home improvement store is closed.
