First thing that comes to mind is diving regulators.
Also....audio cables.....I can't count the times I have encountered failed cheap mic cable.
Care to add to the list?
cheers

Hang gliders and parachutes. There's something unsettling about having something work correctly the first time.

If one needs a jack stand a condom is probably useless. |

Tools: buy a cheap tool and it (A)-will probably perform it's assigned task poorly and (B)-likely break or wear out in short order.
Buy a quality tool and you'll have a faithful friend for life...or at least for a long, long time.

Years ago when money was tighter, I always bought used tires. However, it seemed that my luck with used tires was all bad. Apparently, if there was just one lone screw in the road, it found its way into one of my tires. I was constantly getting these used tires plugged or replaced. I finally bit the bullet and starting buying new tires (albeit cheaper ones). As my budget increased and I bought better vehicles (new or almost new) I also began buying better tires, and my luck has improved! The only downside is that for some reason, expensive tires (rated for long tread life) seem to wear out just as fast as the cheaper brands I bought years ago. The upside is that good tires perform better than cheap tires, so I have more confidence in them. |

Yeah, found out the hard way that skimping on measuring/marking/layout tools means you throw your money away.
I have no tattoos, but why people even bother with cheap tattoos is beyond me.
Chicken. The cheap stuff smells like death long before the expiration.

Dive gear...don't want that cheep stuff to crap out at 100 feet.
Last ski trip to Sun Valley I was checking on a demo ski rental package. Guy walks in asking about ski helmets, "What's the cheapest one you have?" I glanced at him in disbelief. Now there is an idiot.
