[Shop-talk] trailer advice needed; aren't tools fun?

[Paul Mele]

<<To me, a trailer is a general "tool" that is very handy to have!  It is
not something 
I bought to just tow one kind of vehicle for a certain number of 
miles.  You certainly don't want to get something that's too big for 
your tow vehicle.  But a trailer will come in handy for lots of other 
transport jobs that you probably haven't thought of yet>>

Though I haven't found much other use for my piston ring groove cleaner or
my pickle fork, I must agree that many tools end up being much more useful
than anticipated. 
 
I've accumulated 3 different trailers (2 used) over the past 10 years; just
got a 2 wheel dolly (used) for $75.  They all have given much greater
service than I ever expected.  I second the Trovato (? Relative of La
Traviata) vote.

While we're it, I'd say that the blue wrench (oxy-acet)is in the same
category...you're wonder how you lived without it.
