What is the intended time-frame of use for the tool? If it is something you will only ever use once, then by all means purchase the cheapest piece of crap you can lay your hands on. If your intended time-frame of use is forever, then you had better not buy anything that doesn't have a forever warranty on it. In other words, you better be shopping at Sears or Lowes. The secret to accumulating wealth - overall - is getting the most value or utility for every dollar spent. Too many people focus on cost when they should be examining value for the money. Unlike how being a "kid in a candy store" is teaching people about getting value for their money. Hint, hint. “Good tools aren’t cheap, and cheap tools aren’t good”

I still have tools that my father used 50 years ago. It also seems that some of the older tools that you buy second hand are better than the ones that they make today.

Okay, not many, because people tend to hang onto their tools, but barn sales or estate sales sometimes have them. I picked up a great 6' wood ladder that way and a whole bag full of concrete and tile tools. It's not a surefire way to find something, but at every sale I am at, I always scope for deals on tools.
