Funny how,  it happens that you get a number 3 and a number 5 and all of a
sudden,  there is the "need" to have the number 4 (or whatever size) to
complete the set.  I certainly have used that excuse to justify to SWMBO as
to why I spent $xxxx to buy some gadget.   My so is filled with tools I
bought like this,  but never use.  I'm not criticizing, I just find it
funny.  I think it is fair to say that most of us on this last are guilty
of this to some degree or another.  I know that I am.

Doc
Now back to fleabay.   I just have to find that hickie -jigger in that
super rare size of  3.74653.
