Since we are talking cheap and not quality.
Here is a 3/8 set for $9.86 40piece free shipping.

I would not trust my knuckles to any of these cheapo sets. Even as knock around set in a camper. Your hand will hurt if these suddenly snap!
You can get that same 40pc 3/8 set from Harbor Fright for $4.99, and it's been at that same price for decades. I bought one in the early 80's... literally wallowed out the inside of each socket as I used it, and then bent and locked up the head of the ratchet the first time I really leaned on it. The unused sockets in less popular sizes I literally threw away.
I grew up with quality tools, albeit entirely mismatched sets of older stuff. The only reason I bought the 4.99 set was my car toolbox got stolen. It was more of a liability but at least I broke it at home and it didn't leave me stranded on the road. And yet, it is still sold today. Oh, I see it is 5.99 now.

I moved on to Craftsman and split a socket each time I used it. They had just came out with their new "thin wall" sockets. So then on to SK. Now I buy whatever I want, as long as it is quality.
H-F will give you an extra 20% off that price with their "Super Coupon" you can get online and save it to your phone or print off. The Husky ratchet looks like a Snap-On knockoff.
You guys are right, the sets look the same!
