Ok Machine Manufacturers... this goes out to you. When your Customer (me) spends $150K on a machine. And you show up at the facility to install this machine. Please bring the tools you are going to need to do the basic installation. Asking me to borr

Frazz you are right!, I had the same problem, one thing as you mention is to borrow a tool, but in my case I had to let him use my tool cart!, first thing I had to go and get him, since he had to cross the border to Mexico, it was afraid someone cou

The last 3 posts were quite refreshing. I never said, but, I may have implied that "no tools necessary" is OK. No way. I honestly lost sleep over this thread. I was kinda playing "devil's advocate", but man what a response. I have been on every s
