I'm looking to get a couple of sets of sockets and ratchets. I am not a professional mechanic or technician so I do not need anything super expensive like Snap-On. I just like to have some nice tools for when I work on my truck or around the house. I am also not looking at anything from China. I'd like something at least from Taiwan. I heard the quality is very good for the money. That being said, I was looking at sets from GearWrench and Tekton. I know nothing about them, thats why I am posting here. I want a 1/4" and 3/8" set. There is a deal going on right now with GearWrench on the 80550 pkge that is their 3/8" 57 piece 6pt metric and SAE set that includes short and long sockets, extensions, 2x 84 tooth ratchets(long and short) for around $100 and you get their 51 piece, 1/4" socket set with their 120XP ratchet for free. Separately, they retail for much more.

The Tekton sets also look nice and are a bit cheaper but have fewer sockets in their sets.

Anyone have any experience with these 2 companies? The only thing I am not 100% sure about on the GearWrench is that the ratchets dont have a lock for the sockets.
