I am leaning towards the peachtree set over the Harbor Freight even with 20% off coupon but I am asking cause in all the sets the sizes of the tools themselves are different size widths and wondered what set looked the best... they are all HSS not sure they are all the same quality of HSS... Thanks for any and all help
