How did this happen to me?

Am I a hoarder? I'm not even a mechanic for god's sake....

 

[truckman5000]

Nothing wrong with that.
I have 2-3 of everything.
You need at least 2- of each size

 

[pacemade]

That's a good collection of wrenches!

 

[OccupantRJ]

You got to ramp up on that collection if you have hopes of keeping up around here. You hit the big time when you have heavy tonnage equipment and a forklift to move it.

 

[Rex_A_Lott]

That happened to me once. The Civil Defense siren went off because there was a tornado coming. I took off toward home, the wife and kids, and the toolbox slid against the truck tailgate and knocked it open, and all my stuff landed in the road and the rain.

 

[rsanter]

That's all the tools you have?
I guess you,haven't been a member here very long

You should consider getting a tool box

 

[larry_g]

Thats a good start,,,

 

[Richard Cranium]

Where is the rest of it, I see no pliers or screwdrivers

 

[Tucko]

Those are only the hand wrenches and sockets, all of them rarely used. I haven't even started sorting through the tools of my ACTUAL trade... Which reminds me of an idea I pitched to a photographer friend. I want to get a picture of myself with every tool (hand, power, machine, etc) that I own.

 

[Hondarancher4435]

Once you find the hot deals forum that collection will grow quickly

 

[readhead]

That's it?!!! You have some catching up to do.

 

[rice rocket]

If you organize them all pretty, then you can justify it to yourself more easily.

A really, really BIG toolbox. That way, the amount of tools you have won't seem so big...

I'm not seeing the problem. You stumbled, fell and dropped some of your tools -did you trip, were you drunk, did you wish you were drunk, what?

 

[txvwnut]

It's the garage journal... too much peer pressure to overcome.

 

[Steevo]

You are a sick, sick man. Enjoy it!

That could be a GJ theme thread. Show us YOU and ALL of your tools!
I think they'd need a very wide angle lens to get all of that in one image for most of us.

It could just be a side effect of how you are buying tools. I end up with multiples when I buy entire carry boxes for the "prime" stuff and end up with stuff I don't need. I'm not so good at selling things . . .

How did what happen to you? You spilling your toolbox on the floor?

Looks like you have a bad habit of buying up other people's ****.
I have a rule, if I don't have a need for it, right now, I typically don't buy it.
I certainly don't buy up other people's used **** that's duplicates to what I already have.

I've only got 2 hands,
I've got 2 sets of SAE combination wrenches, and 2 sets of metric combo wrenches. I have a set of standard and deep metric and SAE sockets in respective 1/4.3/8, and 1/2 drive. I just don't own more stuff than I can use myself.

 

[Seppala]

So few tools, and so disorganized!

 

[slip knot]

Your supposed to store them in the box, not on the floor. and once yopu get that piddly litle pile of wrenchs picked up, you can show us your tool collection.

 

[egnorant]

To be considered a hoarder you must have a spot in your brain that is reminding you that there are more wrenches...somewhere.
Having gathered this collection in a bit of a pattern in a clean area indicates you might be closer to a recovering hoarder. If you can avoid the OCD response to go buy the missing wrenches in sets you should be fine. If you hunt them down at swap meets, garage sales and pawn shops...even better.

I see those orphan flex head gear wrenches or the odd looking Industro ones!

[bdamico]

We all got to start somewhere

 

[laser3kw]

is that a 1960's Craftsman 7/16 combination wrench from series 11G14?
see it? right there, near the middle but up and to the left?

Are you a hoarder ?

 

[BDT/NWMN]

put them under your mattress, where they will be safe..

 

[rshadd]

Shame they are all left handed wrenches.

 

[supertooljunkie]

Not a hoarder. You just need to catch up to some of the others on the forum. I have one drawer in one of my tool boxes that has more stuff in it than in the picture.
