B.S. Try repairing a car with $10 tool sets from China from Walmart. Give
the tools their due.

In the hands of a skilled mechanic they will recognize their limitations
and work accordingly, producing the very same results as those using
titanium tools.

My nice-looking Walmart Phillips-head screwdriver turned brittle
within a couple days of purchase, and two of the ridges broke off the
point. I have dozens of other, similar tools, some of which are more
than fifty years old. None ever broke in that way. I guess the Walmart
one failed to recognize its limits.

Yet I bought an inexpensive "All in One" tool-set from China at a
flea-market for $7 on a whim. Thinking they'd make a nice backup for the
trunk of the car. They work better than my titanium coated U.S. marketed
Snap-on tools. Not one of them, not the allen-wrenches, not the sockets,
not the ratchets, have ever failed to perform adequately in 2 years of
abusive use. I now reach for that case of tools before I bother to use any
of the "better" (read: more expensive) tools. Who was the winner?

You don't know much about "being scammed", do you.
