When I'm trying to justify my "cheap" tools,  I  drag out my Harbor Freight 3/4"
drive socket and handle set.  It cost about $40 dollars for the whole set and
each _socket_ likely costs that much off the "Snap-On" truck.  Also, the 3/4"
drive set is so robust, you could never break it anyway.  I DO buy good hammers
though:  a chip flew off a "cheap" hammer once and burried itself in my arm
about a quarter inch deep.
