Socket set worthy of a S90 S90-V90

Another source of good tools are the ones carried by professional machine shop suppliers like McMaster. I think some of the tools that have a brand name on them as carried by Pep Boys may be OK also.

When I tried to take the head bolts off my car during the head gasket job the Sears socket broke while the Pep Boys one did the job. My opinion of Sears tools is dropping as I find their sockets are being made of soft alloy these days. The walls are being made thicker so they won't break but they won't fit into tight spots either. I've worn out several of 1/4" drive sockets in only a few years and I'm only a DIY weekend mechanic.

I gave up on their screw drivers several years ago when they started to bend/twist before a normal screw would give up.

Another $0.02 worth of input.
