I have one of those $13.00 touch up guns that I use for small stuff in my job, and I was cleaning it the other day, and it occurred to me, that if I was in a working shop, selling services, my "cost-of-labor" would not cover the cleaning of the gun. It would be cheaper to throw it away after every use.
Fast forward a couple of days, and I'm in the dreaded Harbor Freight buying a wrench I wont feel bad about grinding up for a specialized project, and it happened to be the day after the big sale paper came out, and I'll damned if there wasn't a guy with at least a dozen of these things in his basket.

I asked him, "Too cheap to even clean them, huh?", and he said "yeah, sometimes he throws them in a bucket of solvent after use, but usually just pitches them"
Anyone else use this business plan?
