Price:quality ratio is where it’s at-best value for dollar…that is, unless you use the tool all the time and depend on it to a degree that you *need* the best.
There is absolutely a line between price and quality. Along with a line where price doesn't dictate quality of the tool necessarily and turns to dictate finish/look/brand name. Like the pb swiss ratcheting screwdriver and LTTs $70-100 for a ratcheting screwdriver is absolutely crazy when there are so many other brands for way cheaper that will work. Also those long needle nose are sweet. I bought one of the knipex pair a while ago and they are awesome.(but $40)
I think the application and the length of the application is to be considered on the cheeper verses the quality tool, When I worked in a shop some of the cheeper tools lasted me several years and more quality tool I still use today. I have Chinese pliers that have been along side a craftsman set they both are rusted but I can still use the craftsman and the Chinese are seized. With your knowledge of tools I know you know this I just wanted to make a comment to say I agree.
Definitely. And there’s certain tools that will run their course no matter how high quality they are. Anyway I just like to be buried in tools so I buy cheap, expensive and everything in between 😂
Only if you just need it once planning to modify and or destroy it in the process. With very very few exceptions I don't buy hand tools that aren't American made ( would buy European and Japanese next if nothing was made here )
Cheap tools have their places. But for cheap tools, I’m thinking more along the lines of kobalt or husky. Maybe harbor freight. Depending if I really need something for only a few uses.
I have simple tool philosophy. When I started I had close to no tools and no money. Trouble is that when you start with nothing you will not know what you'll need, so I slowly started buying cheap tools. As time goes you'll see what you use often and what you use just once in a while. I have no issue spending extra for tool I know I will use most of the time. I also ask myself if the more expensive tool is giving me some features that the cheaper option doesn't. If the tool doesn't see lots of use and doesn't have any special features I see no point in paying extra cash. Just FYI try playing with sound levels. I can barely hear you over the music.
I have the answer: The average customer does not even know what Snap-on is and it makes no difference what tools you use. They just want the job done well and at a fair price. I know because I'm a customer and I don't care what tools they use.
That’s probably true for most customers, but as a matter of pride many tradesmen carry top-of-the-line tools. But definitely cheap tools can get the job done most of the time

Exactly! Thanks for watching

I hear you. I also prefer USA/EU/Taiwan/Japan but it’s hard to pass on super cheap tools
Great film
Thank you Roadman Reggy 😎😂

Good thoughts. Thanks for watching, and I will watch those sound levels!
Just cause something is $$$ doesn't make it the best.
Very true!
