I kinda feel about Eastwood as I do about Harbor Freight - they have some good stuff, but, "... if I needed a tool to make my living.." my tendency is to go another route. I've used tool from both places and for my level of expertise on certain projects around the house, they're fine. I'm not a body guy so couldn't tell you like others (I like Dave's comment on fiberglass handles not "feeling right" as that's a huge differentiator in purchasing tools you're going to use a lot) but I tend to use Harbor Freight for "expendable supplies" like rolls of Velcro or zip ties and their China bristle brushes that I buy for fiberglass (or grand kids to paint a birdhouse) knowing full well I'll just throw them away.

I've got Starrett micrometers and precision measurement instruments that are 50+ years old and Klein hand tools that were my fathers and will someday be my sons (and sons-in-laws) - so I guess it depends on how much/how long you're going to use a particular tool and what level of absolute accuracy you're demanding from the too to begin with.

My two cents..
