As long as you have time to test it before you really need it for a

if the tool is mission critical you always got to have a backup
anyway

for example buying a sub 20 dollar palm nailer when you already have
an air nailer that is aging but still working

now your replacement becomes the palm nailer instead of a high dollar
air nailer

or if you never tried an air nailer you try the cheapo one first
and return if unsatisfied


the thing is that thru many iterations the cheap stuff is getting to
be very good hence the sell off of so many german companies to asia
before they are completely worthless due to those iterations


You buy your way, I'll stick with mine.

If it's important, it's worth the price, at least to me.
