"You only buy a good tool once." - unknown
I have no idea who came up with that. For a long time I thought it was something my father told me, but I think that was just wishful thinking that he actually ever taught me anything, For all I know, I might have made it up. I have found it to be true though. Every single time I buy a piece of crap tool thinking it's great that I saved some money, it breaks and I have to end up buying what I should have bought in the first place.
