@bailyhill

would be greatly interested in your take on ND555

True story....
govt: we might want to take the wings off this widget some day... can you make us some tools to do that ?
contractor: assuming you will want the scalloped sockets and multiplier we use in the factory....
govt: sure bid that
contractor: great we buy a field service set of big-a sockets from Catepillar , cut the scallops, heat treat, etc......
govt: oh... how much would it be IF we wanted you to make them...?
Contractor; how many sets you need ? 
Govt: two
......
contractor: about 20x if I have to go get custom forging...
why?
govt: we are not sure Cat will be in business, we want an assured source for....spares...
