&gt;I have yet to really pull on an HF wrench that I would call &quot;excellent&quot;, however. Various hammers and chisels I&#x27;ve purchased have all lost their shape after just a bit of hard use.<p>The HF socket wrenches and sockets I&#x27;ve used have been at least as good as any Craftsman competitor, even from over 20 years ago.<p>However, for chisels, if you&#x27;re talking about for woodworking, that&#x27;s something I doubt I would buy from HF.  For proper woodworking, chisels have to be incredibly sharp and hold an edge, and that requires high-quality steel.  I guess if you&#x27;re just installing some door latch plates a HF chisel might be OK though, but I&#x27;d get something nice for doing any serious woodworking because having really sharp chisels is critical for quality work.
