Nothing. I wait till I can get good stuff and am willing to do without till that happens. Also holding off (forever) till I get a proper shop together before buying certain tools/equipt. So, I have some tools that are ancient I've used forever and figure always will and I have tools so new they haven't been made yet. I buy a lot of used tools that are superior to new tools also. Tools that already outlasted someone else rather than brand new temporary junk.
