You Won't Need One Of These

[David Paule]

While you might indeed need a hole saw at some point, you don't need one like this. No matter how tempting it is, don't get it.

Nonsense. You never know. Always better to have it and not need it.

In all seriousness, there is a similar tool that is very handy. The Rotobroach. The make very nice holes in sheet metal, especially if you need to make a hole in the firewall.

You can buy kits with various sizes.

When it comes to tools, we all have this problem differentiating between the words “need” and “want”…..

Yep. I can’t for the life of me understand the phrase: “Tools not needed so selling…”

The correct number of tools a person needs is n+1…. And n= the number of tools currently owned.

I thought that was the formula for airplane ownership?

If I want it, I need it.

It is. Also used for classic cars, motorcycles, guns….

It’s a very versatile formula.

Need vs Want also has a time factor in the equation. I bought a Hougen RotaCut set of annular cutters 20+ years ago for a project I can't remember. They were expensive at the time. When the project was completed, I remember thinking they were great, but a waste of money for that limited project use. I've used them many times since over the couple of decades and each time I've been really pleased to have them, retrospectively seeing them as a really smart purchase. At this point in my life, I'm much more likely to buy tools from Harbor Freight than Snap-On.

Talk about irony, I just bought a bit like that. Need to make a 6" hole in the brick for an exhaust duct on the house. Sadly I have to use it free hand on a drill.

I remember the day my son came home from school after his teacher explained "need" vs "want". He explained it then said "I need a pair of <whatever name brand> shoes." I said no. You "need" a pair of shoes. You "want" a pair of whatever. Guess what he got?

By the way, I build a lot of log furniture. One tool is a 2" Tenon Cutter. It's basically a big pencil sharpener. I have a huge 1/2" drill to drive it. The log gets secured in a saw horse type jig. When it goes, it throws shavings everywhere. Almost broke my arm once when it hit a knot.

Universal mathematical LAW.

Dave's hole saw is clearly an aircraft tool used for cutting through the airport pavement to install an aircraft tie down.

I'm hoping this thread gets deleted before my wife sees it..!

Tools are like guns in Montana, you never sell them, just buy more….
