    I've been following this thread and I want to make a comment,
    sometimes one will opt for a cheaper item, if one is not sure how
    much they will use it. Like a rolling mill, if most of your work will
    be rolling a texture unto silver or copper, and your not doing
    production work, a cheaper one may do just as well, especially until
    you figure out how MUCH you'll use it. I have a cheap pair of
    round/half round pliers. I intend to buy a better pair, I find them
    very useful. keep the cheaper ones, for hauling to shows. I have
    often dreamed of wining the lottery and setting up an artisans'
    workshop. One room would be full of quality, expensive equipment,
    that a lot of artists, would need the use of occasionally. I
    occasionally need a bandsaw, at the most 2 or 3 times a year. Someday
    I may break down and buy a cheap one. Sometimes, quality is
    important. I haven't had to repaint the interior of my house, since
    my dad did it around 1960. He bought high quality paint, but I'm
    SICK of the colors. Will I buy the high price paint, probably, for
    the ceiling, but I doubt if I want to look at yellow walls for 20 or
    more years. A good paint will work just as well.
