I am a woodworker and do a lot of my own repairs around the house from electrical to plumbing.

Early on I would buy cheap tools and found out that you get what you pay for. Since then I will buy quality tools even if it cost a little more. I have power tools now that are 20+ years old and they work great.

Does that mean I won't go to HF? I do, but it is typically for little items or disposable items. I know people that get their tools there and are happy with them and would never try to disparage them because if they have something that works for them - great.

I personally will spend more and buy higher quality but I am they type of person that built pegboard tool frames and each tool has a spot.
