ang bad trip naman kasi sa mga cheap products, ginagaya nila yung kulay ng old timer products...tulad nitong kawasaki...napakadaming pangalan na pede ipangalan kung bakit kawasaki pa....if you hear the word, motorsiklo will come to your mind almost without thinking.
they are cheap because the materials they use are cheap...sorry na lang kung me lumipad na parts at tumama sayo...

i dont have any bad words against hoyoma, makuta, makute, makete, etc etc..pero sayang ang pera..kahit DIY lang an tools sila...libo libo pa rin ang presyo ng mga "cheap" wannabes na yan...sa panahon ng internet..mag youtube na lang kayo and be an educated DIYer.

i will never buy that "motorcycle" brand..bka ryobi, pede pa kahit surplus!

pag nasira, oo nga maaring libre parts and service, pero yung hassle at pamasahe mo sa pagdala sa service center! thats the unacceptable.

besides, its a downtime dahil hindi mo natapos ung project mo on time kasi nag bog down yung tool.

where is your pride then?

mag ipon ka for quality tools...we have been there and done that. wag mo na sana ma experience ang na experience namin.

mag tipid!

Exactly! Ang isa pang problema sa cheap tools is selling it second hand, in case na gusto mo nang mag upgrade sa quality one, di mo mabenta ng maayos kasi nga cheap sya to start with. Go for quality brand, medyo mahal konti pero sure ka. This is an example para sa gusto bumili ng surplus or cheap tools. I bought Ozito and Ryobi before ilang beses lang nagamit bugged down na agad, then I had to buy again so di ako nakatipid sa cheap na tools. Wag mag madali bumili kung hindi rin lang magagamit.

If I may quote another DIYer:
"The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of cheap price has faded."

This one is mine:
"Sa kakatipid, napapamahal."

And yes, like others in this forum, I've been there. Maxsel angle grinder, Chin table saw....

Well, we can't blame them if they believe in cheap tools. We all just have to learn from experience.:whistle:

hehehe...matatanda na daw tayo...with full of wisdom and stll wanted to learn more...hehehehe
