I guess it depends on who is using them. If you have a lot of different workers using them and they get beat to crap, get left behind on a job, or fall off the truck,
then sometimes it's best to buy cheap. I run an Auto repair shop and I have lost more tools than get broken because all my employees take tools from my box all the time. So when I replace the lost tools I go to Harbor Freight and buy cheap ones. The lifetime warrantee is no good if you don't have the tool. Losing Snap On tools makes me cry!
