Absolutely! I find that having a 3/4t trailer makes me popular in the same way!

Sometimes it is worth investing in a fairly specialised tool just for a few uses though - I've done that quite a few times (things like coil spring compressors and motorcycle chain riveters come to mind). I've found that if I buy the cheaper (normally either Chinese or Indian manufactured) items they are made well enough to last a lot of occasional use and cheaper than paying a garage for even just 2 or 3 jobs. I'm thinking that if I ever changed all the bushes front and back on the RB it would be worth paying £90 for a press.
