I chose a Klein crimper over the cheaper brand everyone recommends

I mean, I know the other one is like half the price and gets good reviews, but the Klein just feels better in my hand when I'm doing 50 terminations a day. Has anyone else stuck with a pricier tool and been happy they did?

Cheap tools are a false economy, man.

Tell me about it, my cheap socket set is in pieces lol.

My $20 socket set from AutoZone has lasted me 5 years and I've put it through hell. I dropped a 10mm down a storm drain last week and that hurt way less than losing a $40 socket would have. Honestly I think people get way too dramatic about this stuff. Unless you're a pro mechanic who uses them every single day for a living, a cheap set is probably fine for the average person fixing their car once in a blue moon. I've got a buddy who swears by Harbor Freight stuff and his backyard builds hold up just fine.
