LIke Camano Ridge stated, we all have some Tandy tools in our collections. The older tools are better from Tandy and the Pro LIne are very decent tools imo. I have to agree on the new edge beveler, they are sharp! Some people forget that not all of us can afford top of the line right of the bat. I think if you want to buy a few tools to get yourself started nothing wrong with that. Don't let others influence your buying, buy what you can afford and what you need. We all buy something from Tandy soon or later. Yes Barry King and Jerimiah Watt are great tools, but are much more expensive. Just remember, you don't need every tool out there. Start slow and keep moving on.
