The Spousal Tool. It can be finicky and difficult to work with, but once mastered, can aid in more tool purchases. I actually just learned about this tool today reading the archives of a machining club in TX.

It's really quite an odd tool to use, though as you've acknowledged, once mastered it can be quite effective.
The way in which one uses it is actually indirect. You see in my case, it was yesterday that I bought a new matching bookcase for the living room, and this morning a new dining room set was delivered. I need those things as a blonde needs panties.
However, getting those things affords me a completely guilt and bullsh*t-free purchase of a rather nice Alliant mill based Prototrak CNC mill later this year. (It has already been selected.)
