My dad insisted I buy a $200 pressure washer from Harbor Freight instead of renting one. Five years later, it's still running.

Your dad was onto something. Harbor Freight tools are basically a lottery ticket that sometimes pays off with a decade of free labor. Guess he bought a winning ticket.

Ever see someone buy a tool that just won't quit? My buddy grabbed a cheap orbital sander from a pawn shop on a whim... must have been twenty bucks. He's used that thing on three cars and a boat deck, and it still hums along. Makes you wonder how much money we waste renting stuff or buying the fancy brand names. Sometimes the gamble on the cheap tool really pays off.

Your buddy's sander is basically the cockroach of power tools. It'll outlive us all after the nuclear war.
