Removing Tuning Pins.....

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

Having come to this profession from heavy fine-carpentry (timber and 
log-frame), I can testify to the futility of buying cheap throw-away 
tools.  They cost more, not including your wasted time.  My Milwaukee 
journeyman tools outlasted penny-smart-dollar-foolish employees tools 
easily ten to one.  They are also cheaply re-buildable.  Milwaukee is 
only now beginning to build cheap tools, think two tiers for them as 
well as Bosch, Porter-Cable, Makita (maybe three tiers for makita) 
etc.  Dewalt was born when Black & Decker had ruined its own rep., 
now Dewalt is sliding and B&D is being re-introduced.  They're 
counting on the retirement of all the old carmudgeons who remember 
their slide from grace.
Be careful about buying a cheap tool for only one job, it might not 
make it to the end of the job.
