9. Tools
What will you get if you buy a $1 hammer? Exactly $1 worth of durability. You’ll need to replace those tools so often, you’ll be running at a loss.
Think back to your grandparents’ shed and their tools. They looked worn and old but worked perfectly. That’s because they bought high-quality tools and didn’t skimp- neither should you! Instead of relying on tools that could hurt you if you’re in the middle of using them when they break, visit the hardware store and buy from there.
Tools are meant to be durable, and durable does not equal cheap, sadly.
