Conclusion
Clearly if the job you need tools for is a simple one-off, then cheap is what you need. Although in the long term we should all learn to purchase the best we can afford.
However, if tools are used to earn a living and the rates which have been used here are clearly on the light side, it is easy to see that the purchase of quality tools is actually cheaper when looking at the overall cost of the job.
Many new tools are coming onto the market with added safety, reduced vibration, increased power and torque etc. All these added benefits enable the job to be done quicker in the long-run. One must not forget that innovative tools which allow the job to be done quicker and to a higher standard also add value not only in cost terms but in the quality
of work done.
Remember, the cost of the work is quickly forgotten by the customer. It is how the work is done, how well it lasts and the final finish that counts. |
