    It is. I’ve never been one to stand in line for a new phone or whatever. But I definitely get a dopamine hit when I purchase “the perfect tool” for my hobbies and the like.

    One trick I do is force myself to put the item on a shopping list or wishlist, and then sleep on it before buying. It’s interesting and useful to look back at all the crap on those lists that I did not purchase, and now no longer want.

      Oh you have The Perfect Tool? That’s cute. The Perfect Tool 2.0 (brushless) is what the pros are using.

          Better also get the pro version with a brush, just in case you ever need to do a task that works better with the brush version. Does such a task even exist, you ask? Well, just imagine discovering that it indeed does 2 minutes before your local brushed tools shop closes (and it’s a 3 minute drive). Do you really want to be stuck waiting like a sucker for the to open the next day? And what if it burns down that night? And then WWIII breaks out before they get the renovations done… This might literally be the last chance you’ll ever have to avoid feeling like a sucker in that situation!
