For most people, they will probably last forever, but if they don't, since they only cost a few bucks, maybe people, will just pitch them in the scrap pile and move on with life.
Thats pretty much the Walmart way.
i'm impressed with walmart's tool selection!

My walmart has a fair amount of tools.
But I am pretty sure it is just sets.
I have not seen single sockets or wrenches.

Very, very true on all fronts. We've started to go into NJ with some regularity now because my brother and his kids moved out there. I certainly know some folk who love to shop there for the no tax Ikeas, malls, and the like. (And yeah, perhaps I should have done that to save a hundred on my Ikea kitchen a few years back...) But my immediate family and I have never done so. To get to the tunnels we have to traverse all of midtown Manhattan (or downtown Manhattan) or hope some semi hasn't broken down on the approach to the GWB... NY-NJ needs at least 3/4 more tunnels or bridges to make the commute human!
I suppose if you live in upper Manhattan close to the GWB or to those buses that take you into NJ specifically for shopping, sure.
Three things that make driving in NJ different from driving in NYC:
- the signage... every exit or turn has 9+ signs!!!
- no left turns or u-turns...
- and having someone else pump your gas...
And yes, I apologize for driving slower than the necessary 85mph+ on the NJ highways...
I grew up in Staten Island, not very far from the Outter Bridge. Jersey was about 20 minutes away - and even being that close, the only time I'd go there as a kid was to goto a club / a strip bar / or a mall. As an adult the only reason to goto Jersey was because friends starting buying houses since real estate is SO expensive in Staten Island.. THAT - and THAT ALONE, is the only reason I wound up living in Jersey.. nobody in NYC cares about Walmart.

That is because the unions and their political allies have kept them out. This is supposed to be a free market where anybody can open a business and the market decides if they survive. The people pay the price in many neighborhoods where small stores offer limited selection at inflated prices. They also create jobs but the hypocrites don't care about that if they can't get their cut. I spent most if my life in NYC and it wasn't until I moved out that I saw what a decent supermarket looked like.

I spent most of my life in NYC, worked on SI for 26 years and about 22 years ago I moved to NJ. Even with the shorter drive to Queens, when I added in the half hr it took me to find a parking space when I got home and the brutal traffic, I figured I could live an hr from work and still be better off. Besides, now I have a driveway that will hold 10 cars and Walmarts in every direction. I have no illusions about them but I shop there. They have their place. When I occasionally go back into SI or other parts of the city, I wonder how I ever lived there and can't wait to get back over the bridge. I have deer in my back yard and I can make a right turn on red and the attendent pumped gas is still a lot cheaper than the DIY pumped gas in NY.

WalMart, Home Depot and AZ leveled a lot pf markets here when they came.
Where the small stores had held all the cards and if you didn't like their plan you drove to the next bigger city.
A few closed up and others adapted to a competitive market but all in all wait time on parts went away and selection of consumer goods is wider.
That was good for my little city. Backwater speed parts sourcing in a market where the competition is hard doesn't work.
That stuff for common models should be in stock somewhere locally. We asked today, it would be nice to get it today.
Brakes on common models should be done the same day.
And now we have that.

They have destroyed the town or Ramapo and are well on their way to destroying the county of Rockland. If I get into it I will end up banned. The way they abuse every system and take advantage of everything is disgusting. I'm so sick of paying more because they don't pay any taxes. Google Hasidic in Ramapo NY or Rockland county. The local paper which is the journal news or Lohud.com recently ran a cover article stating the town is basically bankrupt and it's all from trying to pay for the Hasidic. Where they live is dirty like a third world county but at a city density level. Read this: http://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/rockland/ramapo/2017/01/08/ramapo-ny-breaking-point/95369994/
