Speaking of tools, some days they just fall in your lap.  I needed a 
particular tool for a job today and stopped by a pawn shop to see if one 
might be setting there as the particular tool I was looking for is quite 
expensive to buy for just this one job.  Walked by a shelf (marked 
clearance) and seen that one case there contained an air chiesl  gun (which 
I have been needing) and various other components of the "kit" that went 
with it. .  It was a quality looking gun and the accesories included 6 
different angled polished face dollies, 3 different machined striker heads 
for the gun, 3 different lengths of sprins for te gun head, and 12 different 
sized angle and straight rivet setters (everything except for the gun was 
still wraped in a peel away cosmoline wrapping).  I didnt regonize the mfg 
so I called them aand found out they manufacture aerospace repair tools.. 
Their price for the "kit" $595.00!!!  For a grand total of $19.00 I walked 
out of there smiling:)  Got an air chiesel gun now and some really nice 
dollies.  the rivet setters are just icing:).  Now that is how I like to buy 
tools. AND they are USA made:)
