tools

At one time or another we all do something that we regret, the more cheap tools we buy the more regrets we have.

Often it is better to put off purchasing a tool if you can't afford to buy a quality item, eventually it will go on sale, or you may find a used one at a garage sale, flea market.

I would be wary of used power tools, however I would definitely advise buying used hand tools, especially older brand names providing they have not been abused, generally the quality is superior to the newer models.

Another advantage to buying quality tools is that, heaven forbide, you don't wish to continue with the hobby they will have a much better resale value.

Let your friends and relatives know you are interested, often they will have tools that they no longer use and will be glad to give them a new home.
