Make sure you do double check, since no one needs too many tools...


That can be taken several different ways, depending if you are
referring to Too Many Tools as a personal pronoun or a general
statement on Stuff... (ISWYDT.)

Let's re-phrase that as "Most people don't need multiple duplicates or
mass quantities of unusual tools that only need to be used one at a
time."

Now having spares of special tools that can break on you during use,
can't be substituted around, and have a weeks-long lead time to get a
new one, yes.

But having a dozen 4" angle grinders or sparkplug thread chasers is
pointless. When it breaks, just go down to the Borg and get another.
