When you're buying tools, buy the cheapest one that will do the job. After you use that tool for a while and it breaks (because it's cheap) then go out and buy the best one you can afford, because you're already justified that you use the tool enough to break a cheap one.

You'll never spend extra money on tools you don't use, because if you don't use it, you can't get annoyed! And if something somehow manages to break without annoying you -- perhaps you used it for a truly difficult task -- then you can and probably should go ahead and buy another of the same.
