Welcome to the forum Dave! :waver:

I think alot of us of a tool addiction, If you want to kick the habit you've definitely come to the wrong place. :devil:

This forum has cost me a fortune! :sob:

Although there are some interesting threads on making your own tools at the moment so you may save a few pennies. :thumbs:
