Curley sez: >My points are:
Many and varied. And you've got some good ones. My point is if I buy a tool that costs X amount of dollars, and it saves y amount of time, equal to or greater than the dollar value of time savings, I am ahead. Not to mention grief, busted knuckles, and wrenches and other things hurled across the shop (when I was a younger man), and a general mean and pissed off disposition. Not to mention the savings of doing it myself instead of paying someone more than my hourly wage to do the work. If the tool costs X and I saved X plus because I did the work myself (and enjoyed myself working) I am ahead for having purchased the tool. The next time I use it, it is paying me a dividend. I like innovating things as much as the next guy. I have fixed things for a living for many years (decades) (I feel old now). But time can only be spent. It cannot be accumulated like tools or money. When my time runs out, I want to say it was well spent, doing things I enjoyed, with people I love(d). Perhaps we need to buy a couple W210's like Dan and others, and stop working on these scrappers and start driving them...
