And for tools: If you buy the inferior one and then break it or decide to get the upgrade, your cost will be $450 + $600. You will not overpay $150 but $450.
Also better tools tend to give you better outcomes.
With tools you can go both ways. Good tools give you better results, last longer and feel better to use. On the other hand they often cost 4x what a cheap tool would cost that you wouldn't wear out as a DIY'er.
A no name hammerdrill is €50 and a boschhammer €200. Most homeowners won't wear out the no name drill drilling a few dozens holes in concrete. If you do wear it out your final costs is only 25% higher than if you went for the pro tool to start.
