Are they rule's I'm already breaking, or are there as yet unidentified ones I've not figured out I should be rebelling against?
I feel you. Only a couple of months from leaving a job I have had for over 27 years in some form for something I just learned how to do.
Already went to school on my own time to learn to drive a semi truck.
Going back to the ST300 and Micra set, it's a shame they didn't include a case which carried both tools. I know some folks might think it's a waste to chuck this in a toolbag, especially when that bag will have dedicated drivers and pliers and such. Sometimes though, even with a full set of dedicated tools, a multi will save the day. I found that several times, up a ladder, upside down in a boat's engine bay,or when you just daren't let go of that thing you've half built or half disassembled to go and get the next tool.The main thing though is avoiding the and the cost of sending it somewhere else in the post. It was one of the items I was really not looking forward to having to ship. Plus I get to keep that sweet display case for other stuff too Still need to consider some compound cutters though
