Rat, before we continue to argue, please clarify one thing for me. What do you consider the difference is between "essential" and "necessary"? This is not a poke or dig, people talk different everywhere and I think we have a language barrier here. Around these parts, essential and necessary are synonyms, along with words like indispensable, dire, imperative, etc. Simply defined as, impossibility of a contrary order or condition. I ask this because you argue that they are necessary, but not essential. Some people say things like a "I need a cup of coffee", in reality they want a cup of coffee, they may really really desire a cup of coffee, we all know that they wont die without it. Some people say, "It needs fixed.", which I don't like. I say, "It needs to be fixed." They're not wrong, I just don't talk that way.
I agree that air tools are not necessary, because it is not impossible to do my job without them. I've had air tools break, I did not stop working until they got repaired or replaced. If they were necessary, the job would not have gotten done without them. I am more productive with air tools and the benefits outweigh the cost. We do not use tire changers, they are far to expensive for the amount of tires we change, so we still use spoons because the cost outweighs the benefits.
Whether or not I've driven trucks or not is irrelevant, but I have. I also remember the 290 Cummins very well, but that doesn't matter either. It has nothing to do with the drivers on the road right now running without mirror heat.
If anyone is saying that you absolutely have to have them, I disagree. If you're saying that the they make the job easier and are safer, I agree. I do however stand firm that the job can be done without them, making them not absolutely necessary.
Oh, one more thing, I don't dislike you Rat, but I would not vote for you for president.
