Tools – Avoid
If you’re in a situation where you are desperate for some tools, getting them at the Dollar Store should be okay. However, if you’re planning on expanding your collection, it’s better to invest in pricier but higher quality tools that will be longer lasting.
Batteries – Avoid
While batteries at the Dollar Store are much less expensive, sometimes this does come at a cost of quality. They will typically not last as long and sometimes they may even leak. It’s usually better to go with brand name for batteries as a rule of thumb.
