Default Justifying the Donino.

My grout float sat after it's rookie job for quite a few years, but
eventually came out again. The torx screwdrivers are still waiting
though. I've probably used the Greenlee Naileater 3/4" drill bit and its
extension maybe three times.


Sounds like typical home owner affliction. Cheaper to do the job
yourself rather than hiring someone, but you need a specific tool to
get it done. That's it for the next twenty years until you have a
similar task to do again and then you don't remember where you put
that tool. If, you remember buying it at all. Then, should you finally
find the tool, you realize that what you need to install has changed
specs and the tool you bought twenty years earlier is useless.
