Vent: Bought a cheap orbital sander that cost me a whole day of work
Grabbed a no-name orbital sander for like $40 thinking it would be fine for a small dresser project. The thing vibrated so bad my hand was numb after 20 minutes and it left swirl marks everywhere. I spent over 8 hours trying to fix the marks it made on the maple top, basically redoing all the sanding by hand. Ended up being a total waste of money and threw my schedule off by a full day. Anyone have a solid mid-range sander they actually trust?

My uncle tried to save money on a cheap chainsaw once, and it straight up died halfway through cutting a fallen tree. He had to finish the job with a handsaw, took him forever and he was so mad. Sometimes the bargain just costs you more in the end, lol.

Spot this all the time with cheap tools. You end up paying more in wasted time and frustration than you saved on the initial price. It's a false economy that burns you every single time.
