Peripheral equipment?

Definitely a good point, you get what you pay for. I found and stocked a big tool box in my workshop with nothing but CW stuff. I keep all my tools for working on the machine and all my parts in it. Also down in the bottom of it, (its huge!), I keep all my hazmat items. So instead of having stuff scattered everywhere, when the machine breaks, I just roll the big tool box over to it, sit down, and have at it.

Definitely can't have enough clamps.

Quality is the number one goal in tools. If you buy cheap tools, they will break and you will replace them - often! I have some tools in my shop that are over 50 years old and are still working very well. I would hate to be without them! It's better to get the best there is because you will never have to regret not getting a better one in place of it. Yes it may take longer to achieve this goal but you will only need to do it once.
