I think usage determines the quality tool you need. For example, I bought a set of Harbor Freight tubing wrenches, they are junk. They don't have enough wall thickness on the business end and the steel isn't hard enough and as a result of both weaknesses they spring open and round off the tube fittings. I bought a set of Craftsman tubing wrenches and you can tighten the piss out of a fitting without any slippage. On the other hand most of my six point impact and deep walled sockets are Harbor Freight and I haven't broken one yet.
