Dam, if the OPs addicted then Im made of pliers, OD'ed on them, and died years ago. Ive currently got 20 pairs of Peterson vise-grips alone plus another ten or so of other brands, not to mention other brands and other kinds. Im actually looking for more too since I have a Peterson tool board that needs a half dozen really nice/shiny vintage pairs.

Wow, there's a lot of useful pliers there. Too bad nobody ever gets to use them.

Trust me they all get used. Not every day since this is my home box, but I try to take care of my tools the best I can. Not abusing them and wiping them down when done goes a long way in keeping them looking nice. :thumbup:

Hello, ATC, Welcome, here is my pliers, but that is just the beginnings, then comes sockets and so on, my box has a weight cap. of 400 lbs, and I have far exceeded that with sockets. It is a sickness with no cure. The only relief is to go get some more. Rich.....
The last pic is the head tool polisher, oh how she loves to just rub and rub.

HI ATC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My name is mech-tech and I've been a socket addict for going on 10 years now. There are times when I impulse buy with made up excuses for justifying them. Sometimes I admire my collection just to see what I can add to it. And there are those long lonely nights I stay up crying over the one that got away. :Twitch:


It has gotten to the point when I find a dealt wide makes Me buy at least two so I can sleep at night if I don't she goes back for me and picks them up !

Hello my name is WWC and I have a problem. I am trying to collect the 299 piece Craftsman socket set but I got distracted and ended up with 700 sockets and still don’t have the whole set.

I tried giving them away to family but those damn teenagers dont want them. I told them tell me what you have and I will send you what you are missing so you dont have doubles. "nah I have tools I have sockets".

Hello my name is 3xpendable and I have a tool buying problem. My most recent addiction was fluke dmm's. I keep putting together tool box's to justify my addiction. Before I found my brothers here on garage journal I was depressed about my "condition" but after being here awhile I found out that the only REAL problem that I had was I was too far behind and needed to keep collecting and catch up. Thanks garage journal!!.....umm yeah I'm going back to the classifieds.
