    Going back 3 fucking times for the right part or to buy a tool you know you already own but you can’t find right now is a whole level of hell that we sometimes pay people thousands of dollars to help us avoid

      Look, I don’t need to be stockpiling tools for every occasion. There’s no reason for me to buy that drill or saw for the one project I need it for.

      So I’ll just pay the people who have all that stuff already.

        You know that you can use drills and saws more than once, and for more than one kind of thing, right? I’ve used the same drill for plumbing, electrical, woodworking, and probably 100 other projects at this point. A basic mechanics set and a basic combo kit of power tools from any hardware store will allow you to do 90% of projects around your house, and will take up about as much space as a medium moving box.
