Also, IF you need more tools than you can afford in good tools you're possibly better off

Good point. Sometimes you need a thin-wall socket, or a deep one, or 6
point, or a swivel socket. Most of the time a cheap thick-walled 6-
point impact socket will do as well on stuck bolts as an expensive SK.

I use mainly Snap-On or SK. BUT I do own a couple cheaper sets as well.
Those are the ones I let the relatives and wanderers use if they need
tools..
They also are handy when you get a messed up bolt or nut. Just find one
that is close and drive it on. Use it and throw away the bolt/nut and
socket. That way you are not trying to put that POS fastener back in...
