Dear Patrice, I agree with you completeLY...I bought a cheap little thread snipper..one of those .99 bargain bin items. Loved it, but didn't think it would last, so I bought a more expensive one....that expensive one is still in its package 3 years later.
I didn't want to give the impression I am a snob, or well-to-do..I have to cut corners every way I can. I am just a glorified switchboard operator.
I have just had generally bad luck in buying inexpensive. I don't make enough money to gamble on the $199 item; every time I do, I end up in a mess. So it's been my experience that..IN THE LONG RUN, buying expensive ends up cheaper. I do without a lot of things, so I can afford the best tool I can manage to buy. It seems to be best for me.
