I disagree. Now your tool is polluting somewhere in a landfill. With superb engineering this tool would have been repaired and be of use.
My late grandmother bought a fridge in the sixties. She kept it all her life (she passed away 5 years ago), the thing never failed and was as much cold as a new one. Afaik it was bought by someone that thought it looked cool and is probably still working right now.
