Can you have too many tools?

Think where we would be without tools. We'd still be throwing pointed sticks at wild animals and sleeping in caves.
I still remember the first tool box I got. Just before starting at the JD dealer my uncle picked me up a craftsman gray box with 6 drawers full of tools for $100. It had a mix of all different brands and they were well used. The kicker was in the bottom drawer where there was a Snap-on 3/4 drive ratchet and about a dozen sockets and extensions. Definitely got my $100 worth.

No, you can never have too many tools. But when you have a lot of tools you need to have a clip board to write down who borrowed each item.

I still have my first original box my parents bought for me when I was like 10-11 years old. I have just added on to it over the years and everything is packed full.

Does anyone actually know why 0°f is 0??
It was decided that's when some concoction of saline brine freezes.
Pretty easy to associate with well, nothing

Pretty easy to know it’s cold

I think it’s a shame how many special tools a working auto mechanic needs nowadays.
You see these guys with plastic boxes stacked to the ceiling.
It’s no wonder they have trouble making money.

I’m a tool and die maker by trade (more of a manager now) and I used to buy really good tools. Starret, Interapid, Gerstner boxes. But I got sick of trying to keep them nice in crappy shops. So I sold most of my really nice stuff and just buy functional, usually used old good brands at a bargain when I need them.
