I'm not much of a handy man sadly enough. However over the years I've learned to suck up the extra cost and buy better quality tools. The reason is simple, you will use a household tool many times over many years. If the tool is a piece of crap you will be reminded that it's a piece of crap every time you pick it up and try to use it. Even with my limited abilities, I can tell the difference between better tools and poorly made tools.
