Yeppers ,
When Carol and I first got togather 18 + years ago , we needed a lawn mower , cash was at a low then , but we needed a mower , so I went out and bought a Toro , $350 , the wallymarto version was $75- $100 , Carol FREAKED , but ya know what that SAME mower is still working FINE !!!
Same with hand tools , buy cheap and you will replace it over and over ,
I have a phillips head screwdriver that I have used most EVERY day for the last 20 years , yes it is showing some age , but it still VERRY useable ,
Oh and THIS is my weed wacker ,
