OH NO, another expensive purchase (the trim iron) [:@]. Just kidding , will it really help that much more if I get it, and will it really improve the appearance (even with me doing it)?

If it greatly improves the ease of doing it and the appearance of the completed work, I will find the $25-$30 to get one - If my LHS even carries one, which if he doesn't then I also have to come up with the shipping charges to get one [:'(]

I just answered my own question: Yes it is worth getting. There were plenty of tight spaces I wish I had one for - I am going out as soon as I can to get one.

This is a very expensive hobby - always in need of something - or always in WANT of something else, even after you think you have gotten everything
