When buying items versus their cheaper "economy" counterparts, there are certain things in life that you should never skimp on.

A couple of these things are Saran Wrap and Q-Tips.

Anyone got any others?

Bolts. Big issue, this one.

A construction worker building the first GM-Saturn plant went to tighten a bolt with a torque wrench, the bolt broke, the construction worker overbalanced and fell to his death.

The bolt turned out to be counterfeit; it was rated as being far stronger than it really was.
