In the seventies and eighties I really had to justify to myself if I had enough work or need to buy a tool then think about it before I bought it, now if you need a tool for just one use you just go out and buy it. We all know how much a Victa toecutter was in the fifties/sixties about 54 pounds and wages were about 5 pounds a week. First and last thing my mother ever bought on hire purchase
