I would guess a dozen or more. Some I still keep even though I can't recall what they are for!

If I count my 40+ year career in the refinery/power generation fields, as well as at home, probably hundreds. Most long forgotten, but many repeats as well.

Can't say I've ever cut any up - but I have made a lot from scratch.

I still have a bunch of oddly bent wrenches and modified sockets from my days of working on heavy equipment. A little imagination can save you a lot of time…

I have bent and twisted many wrenches. Also lots of sockets for different purposes.

Still have this in my tool box. Before the days of "Inline Tube" and the like, providing reproduction fuel and brake lines for our cars, I was making my own SS reproductions. This modified beauty was/is for bending the tightly bent carb fuel lines for A12 cars. Having no way to double flair after the line was bent (with the tools I had available to me), I had to install the flair nuts first on straight tube sections, then bend to required shape. Keep in mind this was over 40 years ago!
