Justifingh the tools you want. WAS: Here is a Source for flatrate labor info

Actually that is a good point,  and Ill make sure to repeat it verbatim next
time my wife ask me why I bought this or that tool... 

PS: she just paid 480$ to get her fuel tank replaced on the Jeep and 268$
for 3 engine mounts replaced, and she asked me why I did no do it?
To which I replied, I don't have a lift, so we compromised I am getting an
oil galley put in the next garage that will be built :)

With labor rates being what they are, if you have to buy one somewhat 
expensive tool and do one job, even if you never use the tool again, in 
many cases the worst you can do is break even. If you do use the tool 
again, every time you use it is money in the bank. (The tool account 
obviously!)

However, I'm going to keep your comments in my files.
