I really don't think you can beat Harbor Freight CHINESE tools. Good quality at reasonable prices. LOL! You can thank the (((people))) who profitted by sending US manufacturing to China.
Recommendation for tool set?

If your at a swap meet or flea market and you see Williams, Proto, or Armstrong tools, buy them
I said it somewhere here a week or so ago, I work at a Ford dealership and in most guys' boxes you won't find Matco, MAC, Snap-On, or Cornwell. Most of us are using mainly Kobalt and Harbor Freight, or old Craftsman. I think everyone has a set of gearwrenches and those get used a lot. We all have one or two socket sets or ratchets from the professional brands, but by no means a lot. Being that everything has a lifetime warranty anymore, it's hard to justify the prices of the pro tools. Honestly my favorite tool in my whole box is my Milwaukee Fuel electric 1/4 impact drivers. I have a pair of them and use them more than any other tool except for maybe a pen.
I'm a fan of quality used tools. I bought a big plastic tote full of old tools for $100 a couple years ago.
There are other options though. For example, Williams is SnapOn's industrial line. Many are the same tools but less expensive.

Christ! I'd have a heart attack every time I lost a screw driver at the junkyard.

🤣 Half the price of the same exact set that says SnapOn on them. I own both sets. Best screwdrivers I've ever used.
