Don't go too cheap. Mid grade tools work well in general. Cheap tools are often so bad that the frustration they cause is worse than the help, or worse you think it is you not the tool and spend money hiring someone to do what you really could do yourself if your tools were up to the job.

I don't think anyone capable of doing a job ever hired out a job because the tool they had at the start wasn't good enough. They just went and bought the better tool.
Maybe a few people have done that in situations where the cost of the different tool is thousands and much more than paying someone with the tool (e.g. difference between a chainsaw mill and a proper industrial sawmill or a three bag mixer and a concrete plant and fleet of trucks). It's certainly not a situation most DIYers ever run into though.
