This bicycle repair kit I bought from LIDL comes with all the same tools as the famous Wera Tool-Check Plus but costs 11€

10x cheaper than the original. Likely not Wera quality but probably not 10x worse either. I've been quite happy with the other Parkside tools I've got.
I have an iFixit kit that cost $60, and a $2 aliexpress kit with the exact same bits. I like the build quality of the iFixit, but I don't like it 30x more
I've learned to embrace the art of good enough, and if I actually care after I've tried good enough, premium is okay
Exactly. I don't mind if it's only half as high quality if it's a third of the price. Or in this case, one-tenth, and with a three-year warranty. My tool-buying philosophy is essentially to first buy the cheap one, and when it breaks, replace it with the name-brand one. I've still got plenty of these cheap tools in frequent use, while admittedly, most of the nearly daily-used ones have been upgraded to pro-grade.
