The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest buying tools ... "get what you pay for?"

I have gotten what I paid for my 1960/70 Craftsman tools (the cheapos of the day).

Actually, I have gotten what I paid for my garage full of HF tools, accumulated over the past 25 years. Only two of the multi $Ks worth of tools have broken during three restorations. About $25 worth of broken tools.

I'd probably have bought other tools if my business depended on them, and I used them more regularly.
