Screwdrivers wear out. Maybe it pays to buy good ones, but for me, it doesn't pay to buy the best.
I bought a combination wrench set from Harbor Freight. No problem with the quality, but they're too short. The 15mm wrench, for example, is about an inch shorter than the Craftsman 15mm wrench. I get by, but this is annoying.
I think I'm done buying from Harbor Freight. I think I learned my lesson. A cable cutter I got there was softer than the cables I was cutting.
I wish these companies had warranties against loss. I lose tools a lot.
