Bought a $180 pressure washer for a single driveway cleaning, and it's been sitting in my garage for two years now. Same thing with a $140 angle grinder I needed to cut one bolt off a trailer hitch. Every time I see that grinder in the drawer, I remember the $140 and the five minutes it actually ran. Renting is obviously the move for one-offs, but I also get the urge to just own the damn thing. Cheap tools scare me, they break when you need them most, but $200 for a pipe wrench set is hard to swallow. Now I buy midrange stuff and tell myself I'll use it again, but I never do.
