Primarily, these are the questions I would like you to consider:
[*]What are the tools you reach for first?
My T&O dial caliper or my 6" scale. The T&O brand use to be sold by Travers Tool but I don't know if they make them anymore. It's been a great tool for me.
[*]If starting from scratch, with a limited budget what would you buy first?
A dial caliper.
[*]When should you consider purchasing a more specialized tool, when you already have a general purpose one?
When that specialized tool makes you more productive and happier.
