But , there's a difference between the average DIY'er and the Profssional Mechanic .

yes , I love tools too and have three rollaways full plus the cabinets but I work 99 % out of a three drawer box I can drag 'round the shop to the cars rather than having to move & shuffle then each time to my best work place .

If we tell each Noobie to load up on tools , it soon becomes work nstead of fun and they'll loose interest.....

That's my theory anyways , backed up by 40 + years of being a Technical Advisor and I'll stick with it .

Of course , if you , like me , just love tools , well then , have at it ! .
