Which terrible quality HF wrench set to keep?

[Chrislols]

Long story short, I have the option to warranty my HF wrench set with 2 different sets, but can't decide which.

My options are:

25 piece Pittsburgh SAE & metric
1/4"'to 1" & 6mm to 19mm with a few missing

Pros/Cons : Feel nice (but light), 'raised panels', nice looking open and box end, no metal defects, nice stamping of brand

All in all, nice LOOK and feel

OR

22 piece Pittsburgh SAE&Metric
1/4" to 7/8" & 6mm to 19mm with some missing

Pros/Cons: "branded Professional" (bs), stampings are CROOKED, and wrenches are water stained, as well as much more longer (average compared to other brands (Snappy/craftsman), open ends are longer and more smooth looking on theninside opposed to rounded and highly polished on the others, and box ends LOOK tighter and more accurate, and each wrench weighs anywhere from 10-20% more (ounces)

All in all HORRIBLE look, heavier, (feel nicer) and seem more accurate.

I might as well not loose out on a free warranty and throw em in my trunk as emergency beaters, but can't decide which to get.

It's late so leave you HF china bs out because I have a set of snap on regular and longs.

if both choices are harbor freight, I would go with the set that has more wrenches.

If one of the options is the 47467 22 pc set its twice the price of the other two, I'd go with it.

The 32647 and 38036 both look like not so good, but 38036 looks the worst.

I would go with the stronger set.

So you are saying one is heavier and more accurate, the other one "looks" better. obviously go with the professional ones. who cares about water stains, these are wrenches we are talking about.

Take Neither:
Maybe It's just me - but if I have anything that I have such destain for - I throw it in the trash.

I'll never understand why people let themselves be suckers for "free warranties" - when the item causes them such grief.

FWIW,

I would go with the set that initially would cost more. I would then sell that set and buy myself an ice cream cone.

In the end I would have something stronger, better looking, more accurately made, produced domestically and the waffle cone is most likely stronger than the steel on either of the sets. If I really wanted to get the absolute best value on this deal, I'd give the ice cream cone to a cute kid and enjoy the smile. Or maybe a cute kids single mom, in that case, you could really do well on the deal. Or...not.
