Most of the other posts concentrated on Harbour Freight stuff so other than to say I stay as far away as possible from their tools I'll hush about them. I work on heavy equipment for a living so like the old saying goes "My tools make my living". I've got tools with just about every name you can imagine on them. Lately I've needed to add some tools to my truck, that I didn't have like metric swivel sockets, more metric wrenches, and some of the larger size(1-1/2 and up) standard wrenches. So far I've used all of the stuff I bought just as hard as I would have any of the other "name brand" tools I've got and have yet to have a problem with any of them. The Northern tools have a good feel, and a good finish. Personally I preffer the matt finish vs the slick chrome, because even though they are a little harder to wipe clean they are easier to hold onto when your up to your elbows in oil and grease. Too they are usually comparable in size to the other name brand tools, meaning things like the OD of a box wrench isn't 1/4+ bigger than the nut size like many of the other off brands are, but is actually thin enough to get in the 'standard' clearances around a nut of a given size. Just my .02
