OK, I'll do it. Tools and stuff that we purchased (or explored to the point of buying cheap copies there of)....because we were influenced by Gregor aka sakurama, just one of the group of elite influencers here on this forum.
I'll start off with cheap stuff, because that's all I have.
It just proves you read every word of his thread, it's a compliment really. Sure you can, he's tough he can take it.
However, to help enable your affliction:
Yeah he is weird. I bet he makes his own pizza too.
BF, the fountain pen and mechanical pencil rabbit holes are long and deep. I'm a Parker fan but the occasional Sheaffer and Cross gets added as well. Then you get a couple of Calligraphy pens and a whole new side hole opens up. You'll also end up re-building pens that just need a new sac and a good cleaning. Rebuilt my 51 and a couple of Parker 21s just for fun.
I gave my wife her vintage Parker 51 for Mother's Day. I got it cleaned up and refilled with new ink. She's really happy with it, but she said she doesn't want to go down the rabbit hole with me and doesn't want me going too far with it right now. I can concede that. We don't have room for me to store a lot of ink. So I'll buy myself a reasonably priced fountain pen and probably pick up a rollerball pen that I can use with a cartridge converter. But I did really like the way the Parker 51 wrote, so I will probably look for a more common Aeromatic model that I can get for a reasonable price.
Mark, my M12s are free range. If you let them run free they spawn and tools you didn't know you need start showing up. I keep them penned up most of the time.
Bob, No question about the free ranging. The circular saw has already made itself known to me....it's just a question of time....Mark, my M12s are free range. If you let them run free they spawn and tools you didn't know you need start showing up. I keep them penned up most of the time.

One Pentel GraphGear1000 .3mm pencil turned into 10 when Gregor pointed out all the different hardness leads you can use. The lead collection then grows, especially when you already have .5mm and .7mm (the collection is embarrassingly large).
