i'm at the point now where i think $12 for a specialty screwdriver actually isn't too terrible??

@KitRedgrave good tools can be well worth the money, though if it’s something that’s going to be used infrequently there’s always harbor freight. A rule of thumb I’ve heard is get the cheap tool first and then if you use it enough that it gets broken get the higher quality version.

@packetcharmer @KitRedgrave
Out of practicality, I find the best principle is to only use mono-taskers as a last resort, and to also search for something thats not exactly the cheapest but not unreasonable, cause a lot of cheap grade stuff can work against you. especially in cutlery and kitchen things. but also things like screwdrivers.
