Tools,%age utilization

[F124C]

Hi Guys, have been wondering what percentage of the tools you have are used daily/frequently/occasionally/rarely/never? Could we have a Poll? (Help, don't know how to set up a Poll!) I'll try this :-
What percentage of your tools do you use:
Daily?
Frequently?
Occasionally?
Rarely?
Never?

Could some kind person rework this feeble attempt into a Poll, thanks.

This didn't come out right or as intended, sorry y'all. I was trying to be smarter than I am, can I cancel this poll? I'll try a simpler version.

Every day that"m off work, generally I'm out in the garage doing "something". So I guess "daily" would be the answer that fits me best.

Daily. Everyday I work I use tools and everyday off I try and find reasons to use tools.

 

[uniballer]

Do it daily for personal, but percent of tools used is about 15% I would guess.

I usually only use about 10% of my tools weekly. Mostly the common tools. Hammer, pliers, sockets, screwdrivers, adjustable wrench, drill. I probably use a drill more than anything.

This is at least part of the answer to the question /poll I was trying to ask before I made a mess of it. Thanks Ed. I was trying to get some idea of which tools are used most(obviously the most common as Ed. has said), which are used sometimes and most interested in gauging what per cent of tools are NEVER used. I know a good amount of mine are never used,can't remember why I bought these tools and sometimes regret not being smarter/money could have been used for other useful stuff! Al.

At work (work on engines and developement) probably 2% of my tools I use 98% of the time. The All but the top drawer (top drawer=sockets and ratchets) of my box is filled with stuff I rarely use but I've needed and will need again eventually.

At home is actually about the same...

I can also reuse about 98% of them at home or other jobs if it comes to that though. A few are proprietary though and I'll give them to another tech if I take another position or leave.

We even keep a small set in the house....screw drivers....dikes....small hammer....

My wife is constantly moving the **** on the walls.....

Yep, the poll makes no sense, but you've figured that out. Maybe just start a new one?

OK , I'll try again.
