Klein lineman's pliers. Klein wire strippers. Knipex water pump pliers (only have one small pair but they seem to be top shelf so far). Cordless tools - Hitachi. I've never worn out a socket set. Driver sure but not the actual sockets. I'm still using a 30 year old set of impact sockets from Harbor Freight and about the same age sets of Craftsman sockets metric and inch 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 from back when there was such a thing as a Sears store. And I still have straight and strong Craftsman screwdrivers.
So. It sounds to me like you need a wayback machine.
