I'd agree with Kevin. After you've snapped a few socket walls
(especially using breaker bars on rusted nuts), you'll do yourself a
favor and buy quality tools, with Craftsman as a minimum. Being in the
steel and welding industry, I know there is a difference in the
metalurgical quality of steels that is not apparent to the the average
consumer. Those $7.99 sets are good for stuff around the house that is
one stage tighter than "hand tight". And I think you answered your own
question...if the Metwrinch was that great, everybody'd be using it and
they'd be more universally accepted.
