Just realized some folks swear by Park Tool gear while others use harbor freight stuff

I was at a group ride in Portland last weekend and got into a debate about bike repair tools. One guy had a full set of Park Tool wrenches that cost him over $300, while another guy fixed his whole drivetrain with a $12 HF ratchet set. It got me thinking, is the fancy stuff actually worth it or are we just paying for the name? What do you all think, do you splurge on name brand or go cheap?

Yeah I grabbed a cheap HF set and honestly it works fine for everything I've thrown at it.

Park Tool stuff holds up way better over time though, @wadeg92.
