First off. I am quite happy with my basic hand tool inventory (wrenches, sockets, etc.) I also have a good amount of speciality tools.

But I feel there are so many things I would like to add to my toolbox. Will I know when I have enough or will I feel some level of completeness? Or should I just face that fact I am a tool addict?

You are never going to change! You are a tool junkie and can never stop main-lining tools. Admit it, there is no 12 step program, just go to the light...LOL You are in good company.

When you need such a large tool box that it gets to be hard to work around it, you'll know...







































...that you need a bigger garage now.

You know you have enough when people start calling you asking if you have an xyz for sale, after they hear you bought/sold tools. and more often than not, you have what they're looking for

No such thing as enough tools... er at least that's what I tell myself every time I look at the balances on my tool accounts.

there's never enough tools...we should all have a gigantic chat session the first Thursday of every month on here..."Hi, my name is Marc, and I'm addicting to shiny, rusty, old, useless, overpriced, underpriced, wonderful...wonderful tools..." I mean, if we have a meeting, maybe instead of bringing Kool-Aid and oreos, we can bring tools. Mmmmmm.

Unless you start collecting something, there will come a time when everything you want is $500 or more. That will really help slow you down.

The whole thought process of humans wanting things ends the second your want is fulfilled, then its on to the next, it never ends.

When your garage, attic, basement, sheds, mancave, all your trucks and trailers are FULL, and the tools start taking over the house, and then your wife wants a DIVORCE because of it....

You're getting close at that point.

When it takes you longer to decide which ratchet / socket combination to use that it takes to complete the task!

Snappy 80 tooth or RHFT? Hmmmm....

6 point or 12 point? Hmmmmm ....

Standard, mid or deep? Hmmmm ....

Oh - I need a wrench to hold the other side?

Craftsman RP? Hmmmm...

Gearwrench box end? Hmmm....

Long form or stubby? Hmmmm....

The desired brands are my best guess - just kidding - sort of . . . .
