What criteria do you use when shopping for tools?

mercredi 17 septembre 2014

If you look down a dozen posts or so there is a post about cheap tools.

After having being caught out buying tools that are duds ,so many times, I now try to set some criteria when assessing any potential tool purchase.



Criteria I try to use are:



Price point Is the tool close to the price of same tool in another brand

Country of Origin

Are the most suitable components and materials used Are the components smaller,thinner , a different cheaper material, or of less quality than a comparable tool

Is there a brand name on the tool If it has a brand name the more likely the manufacturer will be proud of the tool produced

Is the tool just a generic copy



How do you go about selecting a new tool? list some of your criteria. What points do you look for?
