Now, there IS one brand I recognize there; that is Snap-On, which is a premium American brand, and I'm surprised that they sell tools over there. Here, Snap-On is sold exclusively through local mobile dealers who visit auto repair shops and manufacturing facilities on a periodic basis. Expensive, but with a lifetime replacement guarantee. I still have a 3/8" drive socket ratchet wrench that cost me the better part of $100 on sale 30+ years ago, and it's outlives a couple decent socket wrenches which I bought later. I have a few Snap-On specialty sockets (mostly things needed in brake repair), as well as a long, heavy screwdriver that's been used most often as a small pry-bar. Not one has ever failed. So, if Snap-On is within your budget and it's a tool you'll be needing for decades, that's what you should buy.
Oh dear Snap on stuff is good but there's many just as good if not better. As for not selling them here the Snap on mans been about for as long as I can remember. Were not Backward here you know.
