I use Harbor Freight all the time. Their wrenches and sockets work just fine. If they do break many of their tools carry a lifetime guarantee as well.

I've (user error) broken a torque wrench by over torquing it. They took it back. It said lifetime guarantee and there wasn't a problem with the return.

FWIW, my neighbor's craftsman 1/2 to 3/8" adapter socket twisted apart on a recent job he tackled. I handed him my $2 special from H.F. and it worked fine for the rest of the job. He was using a 5 foot breaker bar! So... I wouldn't knock the junk at H.F. It works.
