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.

It’s most likely a difference in steel. Cheap steel fractures and wears down, but if you’re only using it once a month or a year, you can probably get by. If you’re using it every day, it probably won’t work for you.
Not just that, but well-engineered bits and sockets made with solid materials are less likely to cause damage to the fasteners themselves. Which, again, if you’re using it occasionally in a pinch is not a big deal, but damn… one rounded off bolt head or cammed out phillips screw can ruin your entire day in a hurry!
