[QUOTE="okdkranch, post: 2380763, member: 2087"] The real key is to buy quality tools right. I have a number of great quality tools bought at estate sales (go the last day when prices have been slashed to 50% or more) or garage sales/flea markets, etc. I have a USN hatchet that I got for a song in a flea market and a custom hand made knife bought from 3 women at a gun show for $20. Both super quality. Then there is the Bolo Machete (with the enlarged part at the far end), now I did buy that new but it was in 1975 or 6 and it has served me under a number of seats of pick ups and now resides in the storage under the passenger seat of the Jeep. Yes, I did wrap the handle with friction tape years ago (friction tape?, what's that!) and you will not bend that blade like the crap they sell today. Bet there are some lurking out there just waiting for a garage sale. Same with my gardening tools. [/QUOTE]
