What tools do you carry, always

Never had one break in the middle of a job, they just slowly work less efficiently than new and I take them back. I have had rare occasions that the tip of a phillips 2 has sheared off but I carry 2 or 3 of them anyway. Sears Roebuck may not be in the UK but they are in canada under the name Simpson Sears. -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Tony Duell Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 3:09 PM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: What tools do you carry, always pliers I a I'm not saying this applies to this brand (which is unknown in the UK), but for me a lifetime warranty is not worth anything. Good quality most certainly is (even if the warranty is 'if it breaks, too bad'). When I'm doing a job, I don't want to have to stop (probably with the mechanism in some critical state) and go off and replace a tool that's broken. Even if the replacement is free, my time isn't. Nor is the hassle of losing 'the place' in what you are doing and have to go back to it. I don't know what the warranty on most of my tools is. I've never had cause to attempt to replace them... I simply can't afford to buy cheap tools -tony
