My DeWalt angle grinder recently stopped working. Instead of paying for a new one, $10 on Ebay for new brushes and good for another 5 years hopefully.
As for sockets, I have several sets. Craftsman, Master Mechanic, Snap On, Mac, Pittsburgh... And then I have a flip top box full of all the offbrand and :chinese: stuff.
The good thing about Home Depot and their Husky sockets... I had one deepwell socket crack up the side and when I went to the store, they broke open a full set and handed me the new socket. No questions, BS, etc.
