Me too.

I have a set of their $7 T handles. They get used for things like bodywork removal, etc. If I am going to try to break loose a stuck bolt, I bring out the Craftsman sockets.

I can promise that I have thrown out more Home Depot and Lowe's tools than I have HF tools.

Like Tmall said, if it may be a once or twice used object, I'll hit up HF if I can't borrow it.
