Both Lowe's Kobalt and HD's Husky brands are good quality tools that will last and companies that will stand behind their tools if they fail.
Harbor Freight has it's place for oddball things that you don't use everyday. I have several things from HF that are really good quality and am very pleased with them. They have a door panel pliers that works great. I have used it several times for window regulator work. Less than $10.
IMHO, buy as good as you can afford. If you buy cheap, you may end up replacing them down the road.
