HAHA!! Yes...in summary...
Ok, I'm good now. I have been taking in a ton of information from people like you. This has been helpful. And I'm sure I was over complicating things, but it has more to do with understanding what goes into the actual torque, not the torque itself.
I also do not see tools as investments. Tool are assests. Investments have, by definition a quantifiable return, whereas assests do not. So the real qualifier for an assest is, will it fulfill its duty over its period of expected performance? There is much more to that definition, but for these purposes, your final summary says everything that's needed.
Thank you!
