Noted and understood; I finally broke down and spent the money to buy a decent cordless drill after going through 2 cheap ones from HF which were next to worthless.
I have my share of cheap tools and they serve their purpose, but my wrenches and sockets and power tools are all Craftsman. My screwdrivers are all Craftsman as well, but I'm considering switching to Harbor Freight because I seem to lose them faster than I wear them out.
As far as the $1500 machine shop goes, that seems like a reasonable budget for a team without deep pockets to shoot for versus having nothing or spending it all on one piece of equipment. You could debate whether a bad lathe is better than no lathe, but for most stuff we're doing it is more than adequate.
