My grandfather's old handsaw still works better than anything I can buy new
I pulled his 50 year old Disston saw out of the barn last month and it cut through a 2x4 like butter, while my modern $40 saw from the big box store binds up after a dozen cuts. What brands from back then actually hold up that long, or is it just the way they sharpened them?

Used to think new tools were better but you just changed my mind.

Exactly what I was thinking a few years back until I found the hard way that older gear can actually outlast the new stuff. Once you figure out how to fix something with basic tools it feels way more reliable than chasing the latest gadget. New is shiny but old is proven, that's just how it works sometimes.
