snap-on wrenches and screw drivers and ratchets make a world of difference.
for sockets i use evercraft from napa. cheap and reliable swivels w/ lifetime warranty.
air tools all depend on the type of abuse they’re going to be put through. i’ve had an $80 blue point air ratchet for 3 years now w/ no problems and heavy abuse. my 1/2" impact gun is snap-on and has never gave me any troubles.
