Thanks Matt,

I appreciate the thorough response! I could be a little less lax in the oiling department as well. And I wholeheartedly agree with you on the wise use of $65. I'm saving my pennies for the new TTi when it's released too. My New Wave has been used for so many jobs it's just amazing really, and I can't wait to drop some of the weight when I go to Titanium.

Anyway, you answered all of my questions better than I could have asked and even answered a couple of my followup ones in before I could ask them. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm going to put a little dab of oil on my Wave joints right now (but I'm rarely near water with it - so I haven't seen any rusting yet). And your own comments made me realize that I could step up the maintenance of my tools. Maybe make a regularly thing out of it (on top of when I really get it messed up and have to clean it on the spot).
