This is also key, if tooling hinders the process, its off on the wrong foot.

Many want to cheap out which as we know can be a disaster, good tools and good process is the best chance of success even more so when we first dive in and if we think bikes are simple, how hard can it be?

As a lifelong mech/tech/hack including auto professional, I never hesitate to step up to help ensure a good outcome.
