The specialty tools are nice to have but it usually equates to half an hour or more spent looking around the shop to find them. Lol ... have you ever hunted for that exact right tool only to have it show up three weeks later when you don't need it anymore ? Murphy's law strikes again !
One thing about scrapping is that you dont always have or cant find the special tools, so you improvise and come up with other ways of doing things.
So many times ive lost my wire cutters after just using them to only find them days later. last time i lost them i was driving and went around a sharp turn and they fell off my bumper and slid onto the shoulder. i got them on the way back and found 20ft of house wire half burried in the gravel. alright! 50 cents lol
