''Buy as good a quality as you can afford'':   good tools can last your lifetime if you take care of them (don't leave them somewhere they'll rust). I have a pair of scissors from 1978 and they're still sharp. My pliers and cutters are still like new and I use them a lot.
!! Some Tool Advice
At line 7 added 8 lines
* ''Buy as good a quality tools as you can afford'':   good tools can last your lifetime if you take care of them (don't leave them somewhere they'll rust). I have a pair of scissors from 1978 and they're still sharp. My pliers and cutters are still like new and I use them a lot. I take good care of my power tools and they are like new after many years' use.
* ''Take care of your tools'', and only use a tool for its intended purpose. Using a screwdriver as an awl to poke a hole or pry open a container is a good way to poke a hole through your hand, ruin the screwdriver, or ruin the thing you're opening
* ''Store your tools in appropriate containers'' (like toolboxes or the cases they came in) to protect them from dust and moisture (and insects and mice too). Don't allow sharp edges of tools to bang together or even touch when stored, wrap them as necessary in some spare cotton or wool fabric. In fact, if you can help it, don't let different kinds of metals touch during storage, as this can sometimes create a chemical effect that can invite rust.
* Steel parts like drill bits don't mind being ''bathed in light oil'' when they're not being used. You just pull them out of the oil and wipe it off before use. Drill bits stored in oil will last a long time.
* ''Keep your tool edges sharp'' using appropriate sharpening tools and techniques.
* ''Clamp stuff down'' before operating on it. A block of plastic that gets caught in a drill bit quickly becomes a very dangerous weapon!
