I've always held the belief that this is one reason for
Sears to stay in the tool business. When the upgrade is
finally made there is a new found respect and the poor
guy/gurl is rewarded with something better/a prize for
holding out so long with their (insert name of crappy
tool/machine here).

Nowadays though people (we call them trust fund babies) go
out and buy Unisaws as their first saws and they haven't a
clue/think it's normal.

On the other hand, people buy a bad/nasty/piece of crap tool
when they are starting out can become frustrated and give up
before they realize "they all aren't like that", after all,
"it's a Craftsman and they are the best" and walk away for
good/never to be heard from again.

Though with the Internet this is probably happening with
less frequency/they realize that there is something beyond
what they have.

Just a couple/few random thoughts. Please, talk amongst
yourselves.
