Hey everybody, let's all agree that it's 'vise' and not 'vice' in
reference to tools.
Is owning too many tools a vice?
****Not really.
(I can hear it now:* "You can't have too many tools".)

****The only time you have "too many tools" is when you have to move
or store them.
****Or you cannot find the one in particular you are looking for.


Years ago I fell into that situation. I needed my saber saw for
something and couldn't find it.
So I went down and bought a new Dewalt which was a big improvement over
the old one.


i had that issue a number of times as a contractor over the years. Need
a tool right now... buy one. Tool needs repair... buy one. Often the
difference between making money and losing money as a contractor is
getting jobs done efficiently. I now have septuplets of many tools that
I really only need one of. Seriously. How many heavy duty 1/2 inch
hammer drills do you really need. LOL.

About one - every two years or so - - - -
