Next time go hit up garage sales and find better quality tools for cheaper. I've found plenty of Snap-On, Blue Point, and other high end tools for super cheap. You'll spend the same price (or less), but have stuff that won't break on you.
Worst case, you can always find plenty of Craftsman stuff too.
I've had a few finds that I got for under $50 that would have cost me more than $500 at a retail store.
Also, don't cheap out on safety items. Jack stands are one of the most valuable tools I own. I never skimp on them, but they're cheap anyways. It's worth it to me to spend an extra $20 on something I'm trusting with my life.
