Wish I could claim back every buck I spent cutting corners trying to save more bucks.
I have a fight going on with my hardware store for example. They (B&Q) market a range of in-house power tools called Pro. I bought a jig saw from them a few months back. It was cheap at the time and it looked ok. I tried using it about 4 times and it was a poor quality tool. I then spent twice the price on a Makita saw and that's the difference. As you say, what you pay is what it's worth.
