While there are SOME people who can produce on demand the receipt for the
underwear that they bought while in high school, I would not like to own
tools that would break or wear out in the duration of time for which I
would still have the receipt!

Back when I was in auto repair (70s), I bought broken Snap-On tools at the
Alameda flea market. Sure, I'll buy a broken Snap-On anything for 25
cents. Exchange (Snap-On used to have a facility in Emeryville) made it
possible to have a decent set of tools without money.
It was a joyous day when I was able to replace my oft-exchanged Craftsman
3/4" breaker bar with a 1" Snap-On (VW flywheel and rear axle nuts are
sometimes tight).
