A higher-quality tool. Buy the cheapest-made one and it’ll break shortly, buy the medium one and you’ll be set for a while, buy the best one and you’ll really be set.
Despite this I still buy the occasional dollar-store tool because it’s nice to have extras around just in case they come in handy.
My rule is to buy the cheap ones first, then if it breaks, I know to buy the better/best set. I’ve saved a ton cause there are plenty of tools I’ve only used like 3 times.
Generally its a good idea to buy the cheapest gear possible when getting into a new hobby. That way if you lose interest there’s not a lot lost, if you keep going you’ll know what to appreciate when the time comes to upgrade.
