Yeah I agree, start cheap and move up.

Though I bought a whole husky kit before I knew better. The quality is.. fine.

I just got my first big impact, and so I bought a set of impact sockets, but I got the harbor freight special. I figure if I destroy those, then I must be doing enough work to justify better ones, and I'll upgrade
