OK..I guess I'll post an opposing view..
my Dad grew up in a series of orphanages during the Depression, and worked for a time in the construction industry...he always admonished me to obtain the best tools I could afford, and to save for their purchase rather than an impulse buy...that their purchase would be a lifetime investment
Totally agree. I was given this advice also and it has served me well.
Someone else mentioned Mora knives. I think thats one example where price is NOT a good indicator of quality. I'll take my Mora over a $50 knife any day.
I saved up and purchased every tool with Plenty of homework and advice from my father who knows a bunch about tools. I now have a respectable Toolbox of high quality tools and a few High quality power tools.
Somtimes waiting for a sale works too for quality items. I purchased a 24 volt Black and decker set of a Cordless drill, Circular saw and flashlight. for 30$ so minus the flashlight i never used I obtained a high quality 24 volt drill when the standard is 18 volt and a circular saw for 15$ each.
