[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9576288, member: 177"] Not if they are crappy tools that don't work well, or otherwise frustrate the intended users. Or are even fine tools, that you just don't use often. Those tools fall to the bottom of the toolbox, and never get used, and are just dead weight you are hauling around. Until you tidy up that toolbox, and you put that special wrench you only use to reach up behind a sink from below to remove a faucet* - a task you've only done once in 20 years - in a drawer in the basement. You can go and fetch it out later if another sink misbehaves in 5 years. With so many people producing so many books full of monsters, maybe tools to make your own aren't really that popular or frequently used. Yes, you might use them, but have you considered the possibility that you are special? *Oddly specific? Yes. I have one of those - absolutely necessary when I needed it that one time, but it doesn't live in my toolbox. [/QUOTE]
