   Because too many people are cheapskates just like you?   
      
   You abuse equipment till it dies, and wonder why they don't make them   
   better and not charge more? One of the basics of using tools is to take   
   care of them, and know their limits. Just like knowing to change the oil   
   and filter in your car.
