My heuristic is to first buy the cheap version of a tool. If I use it enough to break it, I then buy a more skookum version.


Are you me?

This is the exact same method I've used to buy tools for ages. Still using the same 19€ corded hammer drill I got 20 years ago to punch some holes in a concrete wall.

On the other hand, my cordless drills is the more skookum version after the cheapo one crapped out on me mid-drywall.


And Harbor Freight makes buying the cheap version as easy can be.
