[ side bar (no pun intended) ] - Great Uncle on mum's side worked at a speakeasy in Pennsylvania. One day he got home and had a "really bad feeling" about the club and its destiny. So, he took his wife and kids and left town. Next day, the place was shot up by a rival gang, killing everyone inside the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Cost in wasted time, buggered fasteners, broken or dull drill bits, and non-warrantied tool failures usually offsets any money "saved" by buying 3-rd rate garbage to work with.

NOBLNG Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 With high quality tools, you can quite often get a lifetimes worth of use out of them, whereas with the cheap Chinese knockoffs you might be lucky to get one job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
