They are cheap, compare to other name brand and made in Taiwan. For DIY or Saturday mechanic - is it worth to have?

I have a set of those...not sure where it came from though???

I personally don't like that style...too easy for it to slip the fastener.

Look for more of a flare line style of crowfoot. Sears and harbor freight the flare line style. Go with what fits the budget. Still some made in the usa sets floating around some sears

Any idea about build quality and reliability?

Are you referring to the duralast, hf or craftsman?

I haven't really used the duralast set as I have the craftsman flare style. I've used the craftsman primarily for removing 02 sensors and on occasion on brake or hydraulic lines.

Duralast and Craftsman. Not much interested about HF as I heard they are mostly made in China. Now a days CM also making lot of china - hope the quality still same as previous US made.
I try to stick to US made if I can afford. 2nd option is Taiwan made. That's why I was inclined to Duralast version as they are Taiwan. But was looking feedback from people who actually used them.

I don't have a set of crafty usa made and a china made to compare side by side. But from what I can recall I couldn't see any difference between the two.

Now if you don't want the crafty china made ones for personal reasons I understand

If you're concerned about quality issues, I don't believe that will be an issue. If you don't like it you can always return it. I will stress that whatever set you get, get a flare style crowfoot rather than an open end one

IIRC most duralast tools are from china. I have a few and haven't had any issues with them.
