Are expensive tools worth the extra cost?

I can help you think through some of the trade-offs here.  First, you need to consider the purpose of the tool in your life.  If you already have a highly effective tool, you might not need to spend money on another one.  If you’re making a tool to get a job done, then you probably don’t want to spend more money on an inferior tool.  If you’re making a tool because it’s more fun to use a more expensive tool, then you might consider whether you’re using the tool for a purpose that’s worth spending the extra money.  How you answer this question will depend on your own priorities.  I can help you think through your own priorities by asking you some questions:

*  If you have to choose between two tools, would you rather have a tool that is the best quality you can afford, or would you rather have a cheaper tool that doesn’t work quite as well?  Explain your answer.

*  If you could afford two or three tools that are all a bit different from each other in terms of quality, which one do you think would make you most happy?  Explain your answer.
