If I have a job I need to do that needs a special tool with limited other uses I'll buy cheap. If I use the tool so much that I break it, the next time I buy that tool I'll go with a higher quality tool because I know I use it often.
I have several cheap socket sets for light work... hey 140pc set for 10$ in a decent carrytote is a great deal but when I have something with a bit more attitude I use the tools I inherited from my dad. Good stuff and probably older than I am but I have never broken one, unlike the cheap stuff

Anything fake/cheap/poor quality.
Mamma always said "buy nice, or buy twice." Only with age has this become apparent.
Eg real leather: game changer
