Here is a quick summary of my tool rules :

1) If it is cost effective make it, if not buy it.
2) If it doesn't exist and you need it build it
3) If you use it a lot buy the best otherwise cheap is just fine.
4)You probably can make do without buying or making a lot of what you think=

ou need. There are many ways to do things.
5)Borrowing tools is just fine. Always return in better shape than you got=
t=3D
hem.
6) It is a poor workman who blames his tools!
