As Adam Savage said, when you buy a tool the first time... get the cheapest you can... if you use it enough or break it... buy a better one... and only buy a VERY good/expensive one for the ones you USE enough to justify it.

[@MrChrissy1r]

I disagree with that sentiment. As a MASTER carpenter and joiner, O.N.C & H.N.C 60 years in the trade,, as an apprentice we were encouraged, to buy the best of the best, for any given tool, for instance one maker made better saws, or chisels or planes etc etc, and the older tradesmen we worked under as apprentices would have the benefit of their experience as to what make per tool was best, truth is they all agreed, from the newest to the oldest and my college tutors too. Thus to this day I still have and use those tools. Nowadays it's a shame to say "names" are over rated and over priced. So sad to see supposed ""professionals"" using plastic, handled throwaway "hard point" saws, plastic cased electric drills, plastic handled chisels etc etc. A pound to a piece of doggy doo, not one supposed "professional" these days could top, sharpen and set his own saws as we did, and I still do! I have an original Diston panel saw, Diston were taken over by Sandvik, (and I use to have a commemorative edition), double tapered blade, which I bought as an apprentice after saving for months, , sadly I lost a lot of my original tools to thieves but nonetheless, those I have still got are now worth 20 times what I paid! The biggest load of codswallop on KZbin is sharpening, what cobblers there is, I still have and use a double sided "India" stone and I can shave the hair off of my arm with any of the tools that have to be sharp. Fact is you get what you pay for, but often as not "names" are overpriced, whatever item it is!

The old DeWalt NiMH 18V impact drivers were about on par with the Temu mini one, or maybe even a little weaker. If I remember correctly when I tested them it would stop around 35-40 ft-lbs. I also had a 1/2 inch impact and it could barely pull off a 100-ft-lb lug nut. I had to add torque to the nuts after putting them on with that because it was too weak. People forget how bad the old tools were. Now the cheapo import stuff outperforms that old prosumer stuff from 20 years ago.
