Spending more is no guarantee either. E.g. Nashbar was recently selling the exact same wrench as HF for $75 (vs. $20), and you never hear how crappy Nashbar wrenches are. The equation of cost to quality runs very deep in us.

Fwiw, I have two HF TWs and both calibrate and perform just fine. Of course, Snap-On has a much nicer feel and finish, but...
