    Off topic but in response to this comment I must say.... 

    Lets realise the real world. 

    Lets just say for arguments sake these following figures are
    realistic. It costs $2000 to set up a basic bench with "cheap tools"
    It costs $3500 to do the same set up but with "good quality tools"
    The person buying is a beginner. The money they are spending on tools
    reflects how much money they earn from the work these tools produce. 

    This rings true on all levels of industrie. A business that turns
    over 1/2 a million a year does not shell out for a mulit million
    dollar set up with all the lates in technology. They will grow into
    it. 

    Its very easy to sit back and preach "Dont buy cheap cause you buy
    twice". The truth of the matter is you buy what you can afford. This
    poor soul will walk into a tool shop and feel that they need to spend
    $60 on a pair of pliers when a $20 pair would be more than adequate
    for his purpose. 

Cheers
