I have a 9" chop saw but I don't think it is the correct tool for making modifications dash of my Lexus so I can install a switch. Just because you have it does not mean you should use it.

I'd say that a better analogy would be if you're driving through some desolate part of the world and aren't sure if you'll make it to the next fuel station. Now you go down to the store to get a portable fuel tank, but you find out they're very expensive even for the small ones. But you also have some large water cooler bottles at home. Now which would you use to fill up on enough gasoline? Now take that price and multiply it by a few thousand. Now which would you use? Yes, the water cooler bottles aren't for transporting fuel. They could leak, could even cause a fire hazard and generally be a bad choice. But if a tiny fuel can that still wouldn't add very much range costs several thousand dollars, those water cooler bottles might not look like such a bad idea after all. But still. Which would be best? Pros and cons! Pros and cons!
