I have learned enough times, but still find myself drawn to the place. There is something about a tool that you know you won't need/use much and scoring a great price is overwhelming. I need to remind myself that's why there are rental stores! I would never buy a tool that I knew I would use a lot there. | I'm surprised people aren't getting maimed or even killed by this junk.
