I had to remove the heads off of a motor of mine once and I didn't have any tools.
I went to home depot and bought $300 worth of tools in one go, and actually felt like I had gotten raped since the tool box still looked almost empty. BUT! I have not had one problem yet with my 6 point, 1/2 inch drive, deep sockets. Nor with the ratchets I bought to use with the sockets. I've always been under the impression that you get what you pay for and that they wouldn't be so expensive if they we're worth it.
My friend on the other hand is the cheap type. Let's just say that when his socket finally managed to get a good grip on the bolt, the ratchet broke.
