With the advantages of being able to search the internet for reviews, forum comments, YouTube demos, and other good information, I find myself doing MUCH more research before I purchase, and as a result, I get far fewer "dogs"....

Bought a used table saw that was not one of my favorite tools. Not so much so that I had to "resell" it with in a year.
