Are budget wrench sets safe to use, or will they round off fasteners?

Community consensus we read is that reputable budget brands (Tekton, Duratech, Horusdy, Workpro) are fine for DIY and light pro use, while the failure mode on cheap wrenches is usually rounding off fasteners rather than breaking the wrench. For stuck or rusted hardware, reviewers recommend stepping up to a 6-point box end or an anti-slip design.
