I had to do some car work today and was jacking up the front. I have a
small floor jack and every time I have to use it I wonder why I didn't pick
up a real one when I had the chance. I can remember a couple at auctions
and down at Harbor Freight they have one that (at the time) I could have
afforded.
My trouble is I can always think of a tool I need more & a hundred dollars
+ is a bit to drop on a tool that I don't use often. But when I do use the
compromise jack (& it does the job) I regret not getting the better one.
When it's under the bench I don't think of it at all <g>.
It's not like that with all tools either, the used table saw I picked up
always works great. As a plus I like seeing it against the wall!
All in all a "good" compromise tool is better than no tool at all <shrug>.
