When buying tools, how important is color for you?
When buying tools, how important is color for you?
I can't resist bright orange plastic.

I like the philosophy of buying the cheap color first and then buying the sturdier color – if the first one breaks.

Same! I have a ton of harbor freight and Ryobi tools that work great. I've replaced a few over the years with fancier versions as they wear or break.

I want a makita impact driver. Deeply. Tho that teal thrills me not at all.

Teal is my favorite color and yet I own no Makita. I'm very agnostic otherwise. Have things in all the other "houses" plus Harbor Freight brands and Kobalt.
Cheap > breaks > upgrade is my motto

Here's the thing. There's more to good tools than breaking less. They also work better. Stronger motor. Smoother action. Longer battery life. Less stripping.
Dropping $300 on the makita impact driver kit is worth it. And I intend to do it.

I am sticking to one house to limit how many batteries and chargers I need to worry about. Ryobi has had the same battery format for like 20 years, so I'm less worried about obsolescence.
