Re: Right tool for the job

Nothing like having the right tools for the job. And sometimes you have to buy the good ones to get the job done. I have learned that cheaper is not always better.

Re: Right tool for the job

I've been building my tools for over 40 years and always looking for the next specialty tool ,but it's also good to have a box of sacrificial wrenches that can be heated and bent to fit what your working on rather than tear up your good stuff . I can't tell you how many times I've used a electric 1/2" impact with the power inverter to change tires on trailers or that next project with flat tires found in a barn .
