Pro tip: I swore off buying tools online until a seller in Ohio shipped me a $15 wrench that saved a $400 job
I used to be all about grabbing the cheapest thing on marketplace, figured a wrench is a wrench. Two months ago a tenant called me about a busted shutoff valve in a unit in Columbus and my old adjustable kept slipping off, rounding the nut worse every turn. I hopped online and ordered a $15 no name combo wrench just to get by, half expecting junk. It showed up in three days and bit down on that nut like it was made for it, valve was swapped in 20 minutes flat. I sat there kind of mad at myself, because I'd wasted at least four hours on two earlier jobs cussing at cheap tools. So now I keep a list of stuff I'll actually pay for instead of guessing. Anyone got a brand they trust for hand tools that won't fall apart after six months?
