* We did a little yardsailin' last Saturday , I picked up 2 pairs of
Vise Grip branded welding clamp pliers for a buck ... but the big pair
was missing the locking toggle . Just finished making a new one from
comparisons with other similar sized locking pliers . This increases my
arsenal to 7 pairs , in 4 different types . That should be enough for
now . Or like blacksmith tongs there is no such thing as enough - eight
sets so far and I see a need for at least 2 more .

Tools go through three phases: You don't have enough, you almost
have enough, you don't have enough storage space.

4 stages, the 4th being selling off duplicates to make room for other
tool storage.

I'm single, but don't parents sell, um, I mean marry-off their kids to
gain tool storage room?
