That $250 torque wrench I cheaped out on cost me a lot more later
Bought a no-name brand at a swap meet to save cash and it was off by 15 ft-lbs on a critical bolt lmao. Ended up buying a Snapon after that, has anyone else been burned by fake tools from those swap meet guys?

Learn it the hard way, paying cheap now costs more later.

My buddy spent $200 on a "deal" transmission rebuild and it grenaded on the highway three months later... cost him $1,800 to fix it right the second time. I get what you're saying about paying cheap now costing more later, but isn't that just a risk you take with everything? I've bought $20 bluetooth earbuds that lasted two years and $80 ones that died in six months. Sometimes cheap stuff works out fine and sometimes expensive stuff fails too, it's not always that simple.
