I absolutely love tools, much to my wife’s disdain, and at every opportunity I get, will happily pick up a spanner and work on my car or find odd jobs around the house, (any excuse to pick up a tool) but as an accountant purchasing tools is not tax deductible so it makes it hard to justify the $1,500 Milwaukee set and the snap on tool chest. Therefore on more than one occasion I have lacked the right tool for the job, which makes an easy job unnecessarily difficult.
