Well, nothing is free. If you have a lifetime warranty (which means the lifetime of the company) you have paid more upfront for the same tools for the warranty. Rather, unless you are a professional and need Snap On or similar, save your money and get reasonable tools at Lowes, farm stores, etc. I can’t comment on HF. I did buy a set of wrenches from them for the car but really have not used them. They look nice but I suspect would not last long with normal use.
