...remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
With respect to a tap & die set from Mastercraft (Canadian Tire).
It would be more aptly referred to as a crap & cry set.
The description "tool-shaped objects" would fit this collection of motley misfits.
Not a single item is without some minor (!) defect in the design or making thereof.
The whole concept of a "set" of things must have been hatched by angry marketers.
Angry at the world, and determined to take their revenge upon it.
"Lets put a bunch of low-quality-crap-we-ordered-while-drunk and things-we-got-suckered-into-stocking-thousands-of into a pretty box and tell the masses they're saving money by buying a 'set' of tools!"
Buy only the pieces you need, when you need them.
Buy the best quality you can afford, even if it hurts a little.
You will always regret being inappropriately frugal when what money you've spent doesn't get the job done.
If you've had to buy the same tool twice, you didn't spend enough the first time.
