Made one foray into the HF world and will never go there again. Don't know about the hand tools but the power tools are absolute garbage. Then again, you get what you pay for, as the saying goes...
The one tool you MUST get in my opinion is the Japanese Flush Cut Saw. Its just about exactly the width of the Stew Mac fret tang. Everything else is China Depot but some stuff is good.

Wes is right on the money about this item. Just bought a second saw for myself yesterday. Thinking of saving it back for fret work only for the time being and using my original for box cutting. The one I got yesterday was only $6.00 with a coupon. A real steal for what you get.
Like Wesley Carl, I also have a hole saw set that has proved to be invaluable. It was cheap and I'm sure, cheaply made, but it works for what we do. Allows me to do anything from .75" to 5.0" for under $10.00.
And finally, Like Ken Farmer said, I too try and just buy stuff that's hard to screw up, and if you do, it's no great loss. Just bought some new brad tip drill bits from Woodcraft yesterday. Hoping to use them for drilling tuners holes in headstocks. They were expensive (for me) at roughly $5.00 each, but are made in Germany. Have to see how they compare in the long run to the cheaper Asian stuff.
Just my 2 cents - Cheers
