Allen, like the allen wrench brand are nice tools but a bit pricey...like frank lee says, you get what you pay for. One thing I finally did get is a nice quality set of 6 point sockets. Most cheap sets are 12 point and will strip the head of a bolt real fast. The 6 point sockets wont strip as fast or as easy because they grip the bolt head on all sides instead of just the corners of the bolt.

One thing that is nice are the new ratchet wrenches, they are like an open ended wrench only with a ratchet built in that are great in tight spots where a standard ratchet wont fit. Still have to get a set of those that are good quality.
