Harbor Freight has been
Harbor Freight has been improving with their Icon line. I have some of the Icon sockets sitting in my box alongside my snap-on and at first glance you would not know the difference. I am in my fifties and have a hard time spending $600 on a set of truck sockets when the Icon line works for what I need. In addition to that, some of the US general and new Icon boxes that HF is offering are more than adequate for 80% of the mechanics I have worked with. Starting out in this industry with mountains of debt do to a box choice seems to be a rough way to do it when there are other choices. If you are to the point in your career you need a 72" roller with full powered top and side lockers and have the income to afford $15k plus for a toolbox off the truck then more power to you, but I think there are other options that work just as well and HF is a viable option sometimes.
