Confused about the right toolset for you? So was Napoleon (until he knew these rules)

The absolute majority of people just buy the cheapest, most kitted out set they can find thinking it will be the right set for them. But not you, you’re smarter than that. Why? Because you (and Napoleon) have decided to read this. In the next 4 minutes I am going to teach you the ancient lost art of choosing the right toolset. Let's get started.

 Now most people (and I’m sure you’ve been there before, because I know I have) end up getting stuck in an infinite loop cycle that I like to call the…

“Forever dooming cheap tool cycle”

This is a vicious cycle and unfortunately most beginners fall into this trap, you find a cheap toolset with everything you need, you think “wow, I can get all the same tools in this set for only a third of the price, I may as well get this!” But what you fail to realize is that brand (you know, the one that has everything you need for so much cheaper) is focusing on quantity over quality. Now I warn you, the next few sentences are not for the faint of heart. Those tools do not last long… not long at all…
So you go back and buy more, you buy a different brand, but still cheap. They last a little longer, so you go back to the store and again buy more. This is a never ending cycle of buying new tools over… and over… again… But I’m going to tell you a secret, now listen closely because it is revolutionary.

Invest in 1 good top notch set and never have to replace your tools again!

When you do this, not only do you guarantee yourself immunity to the “Forever dooming cheap tool cycle” but you can now outshine everyone in the workshop as you flawlessly glide through your tasks. With cheap tools another downside is that they are often odd sized and bulky, we can all agree on how frustrating it is when you just can’t reach that one nut or a screw, or maybe your screwdriver just won’t fit in that tiny crevice to reach that one access panel. It’s not your fault, it’s those tools that keep causing you trouble. Don’t forget now you're having to resort to asking to borrow tools from fellow engineers, eventually you will be seen as one of those annoying engineers that keeps nicking everyone's tools, we both know you're not that dude, you're a good engineer and you know it. The only thing to blame is those tools.

We have the solution to all your problems. The next time you go out on a tool purchasing spree remember these important rules.

- Pay close attention to each individual piece in the set, have a think, will it fit in all the tiny gaps you need it to?

So why not get the expensive top notch set first as it will save you all the hassle.
- Find articles about the set you're looking at, see what others have to say as it could save you a lot of money.
