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.)


That would be an 'Impersonal pronoun', wouldn't it? Heaven forbid
that anyone try to elevate a worthless troll to that of a 'Person'.


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."


What? Five identical soldering irons are overkill? Or just good
planning by having a different tip in each iron? ;-)


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.


Working spares are cheap insurance. Who wants to spend $10 on
gasoline, to find a single drill bit that sells for $10?
