Warning: My old multimeter nearly cost me a job on a fridge compressor
I finally swapped my cheap one for a Fluke 117 and the difference is night and day. The old unit gave me a false reading on a capacitor, but the Fluke showed the real value right away and saved me from ordering the wrong part. What's your go-to meter for tricky appliance diagnostics?

Why do cheap tools always fail when it matters?

My uncle's old socket wrench from the 80s is still kicking. Cheap stuff today uses thin metal and plastic parts that just can't handle real stress. They save money by skipping proper quality checks. So when you put any real force on them, they bend or snap. It's not bad luck, it's how they're built to hit a low price point. You're basically paying for the tool to break later.
