Where I work now I have a tool box. Inside is a motley collection of garage sale leftovers filled in with new HF stuff. The Hazard Fraught stuff of the last few years is quite decent and I haven't had any problems with it in normal use and they frequently have to endure abnormal use. This is in-plant industrial work; up the air, under things, heavy things, dirty things. Install, demo, weld, cut, modify, rebuild, machine, etc.
One thing about the HF tools is that I can leave them scattered out and go to break or lunch or go home and when I come back they're still all there. I can loan them out and they come back. Need to customize one? No sweat!
I use dial calipers a lot and that one is HF too. Good thing as one pair got destroyed a couple of months ago. Would've been a shame if it was a $200 Starrett. At home I have Starrett this and that but too risky up there.
The hand tool quality is on par with current Craftsman, probably come out of the same facility too.
If I had to do automotive type repair work where I used the hand tools all day long constantly then it might be a different story.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
