Denny, you should write a book. I feel the same way. I went to a friends house this morning to help him with a problem. He has his tools laying out and....yep, cheap stuff that I would NEVER buy. Like you say, he simply does not know any better...so I took the oportunity to give him some lessons. Its not like he doesn't have the money....he don't know how to buy tools and listens to the SALES PITCH.
Its simply sad
