All I can say is buy good equipment and spend a bit more now,
because , if you don,t..in a few years youll be rather shocked at the cost to buy the same equipment.
one guy I know had his shop broken into and several major tools stolen,
hes shocked at the price increases and I don,t blame him!!
not only has the insurance adjuster LOW BALLED the replacement cost,
the replacement cost has increase significantly for the identical equipment
obviously having increased shop security and better insurance is a good idea.
