Face it - most people will buy whatever is cheapest. When I was a student
and had a student's income (i.e. negative), I bought a K-mart socket
wrench set (3/8" 40-piece SAE & metric) for $5 (it was on sale). I "knew"
about how more expensive tools could be better in the long run, but I
couldn't resist - it came with a lifetime guarantee.
Anyway, the socket driver broke last week (after 6 years) - I stopped by
the nearest K-mart and picked up a new one. Since they no longer make the
one that came with the set I got, they gave me one that was nicer (a $16
job) than the original, no questions asked.
I don't usually brag about K-mart, but occasionally they do have
worthwhile sales!
