Hehe,you caught me! How did you know I drive finish nails with a sledge? A carpenter,I'm not unless you want it in steel. As I mentioned earlier,when the flak shakes out we're not that far apart.And each of our actions are driven by the people and circumstances we regularly work in. I ABSOLUTELY agree that the more tools in the box,the better the outcome.A twin boom is a great tool but the new hydraulics make them pale in comparison. I've still got a '53 dodge Powerwagon with a Holmes 460. that's like the next model above the hand crank Manleys.And I agree that we could pick this call apart until we were both so frustrated with the other's opinion that we'd want to sit down over a frosty beverage. But if it sparked a dialog and caused even one person to add another tool to their box,it was well worth the effort.Keep the challenges coming,I'll do my best to answer with another.
