This is but one illustration of a general principle that is often ignored or
forgotten.  Get the right tool for the job.  If a cheap tool will do the
work, there is no reason not to get one, or for a trial or spare.

As one example, when I was a full time mechanic, I could not afford to have
Craftsman tools in my box [Mac, Matco and a few Snap On] but this is what I
would recommend to the owner who wanted to do his own maintenance.  Now that
I am [forcibly--back injury] retired I have some myself.  A good buy for the
quality when you do not need the best.
