Agree with first part...every miniature wargamer should own a pin vise and bit set. Between pinning, magnetizing, and drilling out gun barrels, it's a must, and a decent one will only run you about $10-20 USD

I disagree partially with the second part, though. Even though metal minis are on the out, resin minis are on the rise, and they typically need pinning for the less-sturdy parts/joints.
