Pretty much. Buy once, cry once. The reality is I like tools, I watch AvE on youtube, I research features on new tools that launch, etc. So even not being in the industry like I am, I would probably be buying lots of tools because I like to tinker, and work on my own shit, and when I do, I want to play with nice stuff. lol

Varies wildly, 1/2" impacts, and drills especially just get beat on relentlessly, assuming a tool doesn't get dropped, or submerged in water, I'd say 6-9 months. Ocasionally you might get the odd tool that sits on a back shelf or in a knack box that lasts a year or more only because it sees less use.

But if a crew is using the tool in their work day-in, day-out, I'm not getting much more than 9 months out of it.
