My contractor friends are 50/50--some buy the cheapest hand tools (drills, etc.) they can so when they're dropped they're just replaced. The others buy the best, planning to get as much time out of them as possible.
I bought a Hitachi set about ten years ago--I'm not a contractor, but it's done siding, sheds, decks, etc. without a hiccup.
