I have always been handy. I am rebuilding a Kawasaki 2005 KZ1000P - California Highway Patrol Motorcycle and I have been enthusiastically growing my tool collection. Both the rebuild and tool collecting are going well.

Thats how I started and now this is my socket drawer. All I do is work on mine and my friends cars. Occasionally a work truck.

Yep. That's about right. I'm trying to think strategically on tool purchases. I don't think that will work to well. Lol

I have a large assortment of tools, aquired over the years..... My wife tells me I never use them, then she comes up with a project, and out come the tools,

I never buy a tool just because I see it and it's cool. I only buy tools that I need or can justify purchasing because it will make a project I'm working on less expensive or time consuming.

So, I have a lot of projects ... and a lot of cool tools! :D
