Harbor freight

I was at the above - most tools I buy i usually use once or twice but still cheaper to take that as my parts cost vs what I would have to pay someone... but my tip is as I'm checking out, they have their store branded cap for $6.99. Here in Florida hats are pretty important. Especially since my natural covering on my head is racing towards extinction. 
Vented tops are desired- a regular cap will make you so much hotter- great in the winter or cool days but not when it's hot.
Sturdy bill- I have to wash them so when you spend the normal 20 bucks for a decent hat and it falls apart it starts to add up. These are really well made so for 6.99 I will do some free advertising for them. They fit well also.

    I saw someone wearing one yesterday, it’s a nice looking hat.

    Not trying to erode HF’s revenue but if you need a tool for a one off job autozone rental works well.

    We got harbor freight deep and shallow impact socket sets for the shop some 20 years ago. 

    I wouldn't say I use them daily anymore but for over 10 years they were.  Many times behind a 1" impact for those "break loose or break it off" situations. 

    Still going strong.

    I needed a replacement 1/2" impact a year or so ago, pneumatic.  Got their earthquake after reading some positive reviews. Really happy with how much power it has.  Huge upgrade from my much more expensive kobalt it replaced.  

    Some of their tools are crap.  Those have stood out as quality without breaking the bank.

    ICON tools from Harbor Freight are awesome. I love my Bauer drill and impact gun also. For home use these are great tools.

    And if there is an issue with a tool they are very accommodating to replace or refund
