10x cheaper than the original. Likely not Wera quality but probably not 10x worse either. I’ve been quite happy with the other Parkside tools I’ve got.

    Agreed. Unless you can immediately tell it’s a piece of junk, just buy the cheapest one you can find. You’re only going to break or wear out the tools you use the most, so it makes sense to replace those with high-quality ones. There’s no point in spending big bucks on something like a Snap-on socket set when realistically there are only about five sizes you’ll use frequently. Once the ratchet wears out, it can be replaced with a good one, which will still be perfectly compatible with the cheap sockets and extensions. My cheapo drill bit set is a good example of this; it still has 75% of the original bits that I’ve barely used, and the rest are Bosch drill bits.
