I'm with you, Dean. I couldn't get myself in the right place to spend that much $$ on the Vesper or the B Spruce, but - man - I came very close a couple times. I've searched a lot and never found a small one. When you do, please give us a heads up.
They speak highly of you, Tony
May we assume you were a regular customer of Blue Spruce back in the day, and are now dissatisfied with the products or service? Which are your favorite Blue Spruce tools? I've got several I really like. Be interested in your evaluation of your hoard.
I've never bought from Woodpecker, only because I wasn't looking for a product they had to offer. Apparently they've been petty doggone successful with their business model. Which would seem to indicate non-stupid. But I may be wrong about that.
