Well, the $$$ in tools allowed me to make a bushing to mount a pot for
SEIC RPM control in my truck in place of one of the stock 12V power
points. Since that bushing was not available for purchase anywhere, it
was certainly worthwhile. The P-Touch labeler with white-on-clear tape
makes some damned nice labels for the new controls too.
