[woody 73]

I found the following article on the web, well truth be told, my computer has my profile down pretty pat, AI must be at work, I guess?
Anyhow I hope you will enjoy reading it, it takes about 4 minutes to read it and some of you might agree or better yet add your own thoughts on this nice June night.

7 Tools I Will Always Have Duplicates Of - Hagerty Media

Buying tools is an addiction and knowing when to stop is hard, especially when having multiples of some tools makes sense. Here are seven Kyle Smith will have have two of.

Short list, but who stops at “duplicates”?

I thought the OP was going to talk about his list of 7 duplicates. I feel spammed.

I'm sorry you feel cheated. I'll share with you my list of top 7 tools every homeowner needs duplicates of. Number five with shock you. Number six will change the way you drive nails, forever.

I'm sorry you feel cheated.

Why? You're not the OP.

Why? You're not the OP.

I'm an empathetic person. I dont like anyone to feel cheated even if they dont perceive I was the cheater. Here, take a free 9mm socket, on me. Spline so you can deal with 6 point, 12 point, spline, and eTorx. Literally like having four sockets in one.

That's not good. That means whenever somebody does something really stupid in public, you're going to be embarrassed for them.

Tape measures, sharpies and safety glasses. I stash them everywhere.
As I get older I've added reading glasses to my scatter-hoarded tools.

 

[cgrutt]

Pretty sure I have duplicates, in one form or another, of every tool I own, especially if "duplicate" is broadly defined to include sets of tools in different sizes as it seems to be in OP article (I didn't actually read it but scrolled through and looked at pics).

There comes a time when age brings wisdom, same thing with fishing tackle....how much is enough?

 

[rust in the eye]

I can't believe somebody was paid to write that drivel.

Roloc adapters. I now have 3 !

 

[Bubba Fett]

I always make sure I have more than one zip tie.

Mechanics swear by this one weird trick!

If someone in public (or on a web forum) is doing something really stupid, it's usually me.

No matter how many tape measures I have strategically placed around my home and garage, I can still never find one when I need it.

Probably written by AI. That's a big thing now, having AI write articles that then get SEOed by Google, and when people click the link, they are served an ad, which makes the person who launched the site 1/10 of a cent. And after enough clicks they are making money.

The man who doesn't collect duplicate tools lacks ambition.

Not me! Never going to happen. Well maybe just now and then. My son suggests around 200 pair. They are all made in Nebraska.

At first I thought photo 2 was a Vise Grip pizza cutter. Must... have...

Agreed.

 

[NoahG]

You need at least two of everything

 

[drmarkr]

Two? The box at the home shop and the box in the race trailer both have two of pretty much everything. More than two for some things. Then, of course we have the garage....and the garden shed....and the box in the pickup.....and the box in the RV..... And the bag in the Jeep.

This is the Garage Journal, after all. AmIRight?

Agreed.

Articles written like this do not give me hope for the future of humanity. .
