IMO,a person has to make a reasonable assessment of what the use will be,and buy accordingly.
I believe in buying good tools most of the time,and some of my tools are Browne and Sharpe,Snap-On,Starret,Armstrong.My grinder vise is a Hermann Schmidt.

But,As often as I use my cherry picker and 35 in high lift floor jack,they are Harbor Freight.I would never afford a Walker.

I have an unecessarily large collection of quality presses,but sometimes I enjoy using a Lee hand press for some operations.I do not care for the hand auto-prime,but the old,obsolete one primer at a time lee hand priming tool is a good tool.I gave mine,along with my Lee hand press,to a friend who is shooting a 45-70 Sharps.

I'm not a big Lee fan,but in some cases their tool meets my needs and serves well.
