Gentlemen, I am a military trained man and I operate under a few basic rules learned during my tenure:
1) If it don't shine, it don't work (AKA "Work it might, shine it must").
2) It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to get done.
3) If you're going to do it, do it right.
4) These are several options: the right way, the wrong way, the easy way, the best way, etc... I shall do it the Navy way.
5) In the long run, expensive tools pay for themselves (i.e. in about 95 months my $20 fancy brushes will have paid for themselves with savings from not having to buy all that extra wire.)
6) Even if it's working correctly, at least once a week I should take it apart, clean it and put it back together.
