A few months ago I was getting new tires installed on my car, and a
overheard an interesting bit of dialogue.  One of the mechanics
mentioned to the owner that a floor jack was not working properly.  He
said:  "Try adding some jack oil, and if that doesn't work, we'll send
it to the auction."

The point of course is that when a professional sells tools, it is
because they no longer have a use for them.  This may be because they
are retiring, going out of business, etc., but it is just as likely
that the tool is worn-out, broken, or was just not very good in the
first place...
