haha, when you do stuff flat rate, you invest in tools that get the job done efficiently and ones that save your knuckles.

I hear you. However, when you can do it just as fast WITHOUT the specialty tools, what's the point of wasting the money? I have a few specialty tools that I have bought because they make the job easier; on a Honda, the inner tie rod tool is not one of them for me.
