This.


The US General big red tool box is actually alright.
Most of the sockets and drivers
The allen head sockets are crap. Well, ok for a few times, but too cheap of steel and round over easy
I abuse the crap out of the impact sockets(6 point) and zero problems
The air die grinders, straight and 90* have lasted surprisingly long
