My rule of thumb for buying a particular tool has been that if, it would cost me no more than twice what it would have cost to hire the job done, and if there was any chance I might need it again or could turn a dollar using it on a job, I bought it. Consequently I am over tooled but every tool I own has been used and in the long run has paid for itself if in nothing else self satisfaction and the knowledge that I can walk out into my shop and do what I want, when I want, and how I want. I have been collecting tools for over 60 years since I was a teenager and still use tools that are older than I am which my late stepfather had used for years. In fact I have the scoop shovel his father gave him when he was a teenager and it is still in perfect condition though worn a bit thin from all the grain it has moved.

If you can get the right tools, the only difference between us all and the *professionals* is that we know the quality we are willing to work toward and it does take us longer to do the job.It is one thing to be disappointed in the outcome, but to be disappointed AND BROKE it terrible.carmen s. / Dawsonville, Ga.~~~~~
