You've already admitted to using the screwdrivers as chisels, so maybe your mum is right
I was only fooling around with the sako truck comment.
I have to admit, I've had an incredibly good run with a set of screwdrivers from the $2 shop. Bought them near on 20yrs ago when visiting my now wife to fix her lawn mower. Only used at home, but I'm not gentle with them at all and only broken one of the Phillips heads. Get used probably every day on all manner of things, and not simple light jobs. I wouldn't use $2 shop sockets though, surely trash them in no time.
I've just thought that there is plenty of good quality tools out there, and I thought they had similar warranty, but snap on comes to your workplace. Who wants to go swap tools in your own time after work? I figure that lends a lot to their popularity. Apparently wurth comes around also, but I never saw them and not sure how many tools they actually carry.
