Yeah I love Xcelite tools also.....and Weller soldering irons...and good
meters like Fluke and Beckman (aka Wavetek). The only thing I hate about
being a field technician is losing one tool at a time over a period of
years. I've lost screwdrivers, nutdrivers, propane soldering irons, and I've
even lost 2 Singer rechargable drills.....but the things I miss most is my
shrink ray, my atom smasher and my sonic disruptor <sniff>.
