I've gotten the "obsessed" comment several times now. What do you guys think? Looks good to me!
Does this look like obsession to you?

what is the need for so many standard length ratchets???
I would focus on getting one of every style before getting doubles

Huh, I never really thought about taking the time to pull all my ratchets and breaker bars out of my tool Boxes and laying them out to snap a photo. Is this something every body does?

obsessed? I don't see anything to obsessive in the picture. I do see a half carpeted drawer. Obsession would be "wall to wall" Berber carpet. That's just normal plush carpet, and some "unfinished floor."
You don't want me to post a picture where I have 13 of the same ratchets... or 10 of another type... I have a true problem and it is getting worse i might lose my girlfriend over my tool problem, but I have decided the tools were here before her and will be here after she leaves. I think I am over the 100 mark for sure and at least 50 of them are snap on.

I believe you can loosen the ring and extend the lenght of the ratchet.

Some might say it becomes obsession when one is shining, displaying, photographing and posting more often about one's tool collection than using the tools.
Most here will say it is only sound judgment to realize how inexpensively one can have the perfect tool for any and every conceivable need and spares for the inevitable loss, damage, theft or wear.

Hell that's not obsessive.This drawer is just my 3/8"drs at work.I have another for 1/2" and the 1/4" are in another.Not including the bottom drawer that the overflow gets put in.Oh,did I mention I also have two roller boxes at home with another bunch in there.And I don't have anywhere near the collection that Powderkeg or Moparhound or 48548 have lol.

You have a lot of nice stuff there... A nice drawer to be proud of... Moparhound is King when it comes to ratchets.... I want to see 1/2 and 1/4.

Maybe if you didn't spend so much on ratchets you could afford shoes!

Whith all of these ratchet, where do you keep the sockets?.......Hell that's not obsessive.This drawer is just my 3/8"drs at work.I have another for 1/2" and the 1/4" are in another.Not including the bottom drawer that the overflow gets put in.
Maybe Im just backwards but I have allot more of the sockets than ratchets in my small collection.
You haven't the problem I have, hahaha, I wish I had your problem, because I could use more sockets, but can't buy them as I want more ratchets and extensions.

Nah, I'd classify you as "barely aware" right now
Hit 50 and I'd say you're "showing interest"...
100 would get you to "enthusiastic"...
150 and it's a "fascination"...
200 shows signs of a "preoccupation"...
250 would be an obsess.... er, a "collection"...
And 300+?, well, I'll let you know when I get there (soon), but I'm afraid the boys with the fancy white suitcoat, looooong sleeves, and lotsa silver buckles will be waiting around that corner... Then again, if Mopar is still on the loose, I'll be safe for a good while...

Top photo reason for the plomb 3/8 & 1/2 drive being on a terry cloth is they are bleeding RLL for the last 4 months!$@!@#

Nice that is why, I use mobil 1 red synthetic in a tube it doesn't leak as bad as the rll,
But I like your tools and ratchets they look great.rsanter

what is the obsession?
the number of ratchets?
how you organize them?
that you have them living in the lap of luxury?
