We're college students not auto mechanics so we don't use them that often either. Harbor Freight is good for some things, ratchets is not one of them (Nor their 3 foot crescent wrenches, I've seen two of those broken).
Something else you can do if you have (or can borrow) an 8mm standard socket is cut the end off of an allen wrench and put it in an 8mm socket rather than buying allen sockets.
