Buying tools
Having turned 60 last year I'm a bit more cautious buying tools. I ask myself how many times I am likely to use the tool in the next 15 years. (Assuming that 75 is the age of enfeeblement when i will no longer be up to working on cars!). I did once know a guy in his 80s who actively worked on cars though, so maybe there is hope for me yet.
Also, the move to an all electric Volvo is somewhere on the horizon in the next 10 years... Maybe with an all electric car it will only be brake and suspension work left for the home DIY person (and allegedly brakes need doing a lot less often on electric cars due to regenerative braking generally doing the slowing down as opposed to brake pads.)
