I would get a good set of both genders (e-sockets and bits) from a reputable manufacturer like Lisle or Snap-on.

The guy who pulled his OM642 oil coooler a few months back learned that the hard way.
I don't think anyone who buys quality tools or knows better buys from HF. Never have bought a tool from HF, never will. My box has a small amount of Craftsman, but mostly Snap-On & Mac.
