It depends. I have a thing about my old (friends) tools that I have growwn fawn of. I like it when they have the well used look. Particularly when they remain funtional. So the first thing I do is try to repair the tool myself. If I can find replacement parts and it's a tool that I really enjoy and replacement parts cost is equal to a new one I get replacement parts - unless the new one has some serious new options not on the old tool (assuming they are options I covet).
