The LBS might want you to shop at Harbor Fright (as I call it) as their tools are cheap and tend to break - or damage what you're working on. Then you'll need to take your bike back to the LBS for surgery.
Perhaps this may be a cynical point-of-view, but Harbor Fright tools, by and large, are garbage. There are a few exceptions though. My advice is to save up your money to by the BEST tools made for bicycles. Unlike Harbor Freight's offerings, you won't end up buying top-quality tools twice.
