I agree, there is some crap, but overall for most home use the tools are fine. If it's something you use every day, I would buy a better brand, but for occasional use they are decent for the price in my opinion.

I use Mastercraft sockets ratchets and wrenches daily on heavy equipment and industrial. In the past 10 years I have broken one socket and zero wrenches. Couple of ratchets. But those were well abused with a 4ft pipe on em.

Allen keys and torx bits/ sockets I'd stay away from though.

I have had a similar experience with the sockets, ratchets and wrenches. I've got some of the T handle hex wrenches and I've broken the 6mm twice now. Thankfully they have honored the lifetime warranty for them.
