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.


Which is why I have three soldering irons - two of them still in
the plastic clam shells

Only 3????
Mine range from a 30 watt pencil iron ( actually at least 2 of them)
to 3? weller dual heat guns -(85/100 and 100/140) to a big heavy
tirnnerman's iron and a 350 watt Cummins gun. Just sold a nice 250
watt iron I picked up at an estate sale.


I got a 30 watt and 100 watt pencil iron, heat gun, several propanes and oxy
acetylene. I had a Miller TIG years ago along with an SB 13 and Cincinnati
horizontal. Now I'm just a old man that doesn't do much of anything except hang
on to my tools.
