I did quite a bit of research before pulling the trigger on this purchase. There are many 7 piece hammer and wagon sets that are much cheaper but with them you get even less than what you pay for. This set is about three times the price of these really cheap sets, but in this case you get more than you pay for. These are by no means professional tools, but they do have some of the qualities of professional-level tools. For what they are, they are higher than the usual hobby tools. Whether you're just working on a random project or just learning how to do bodywork in general, these tools will come in handy. Once you've worn them out, you'll appreciate what makes a professional hammer and cart set so expensive. And you even get a case that won't fall apart the first time you open it!
