How many tools can one guy use in a lifetime? My fiancé has more tools than he could ever hope to use in a life time. I keep threatening to take out the Snap-on guy (just kidding), but seriously, when is enough, enough? Someday I'm going to have a heck of an estate sale

Heck of a 1st post.

So... not even hitched and your first inclination was to join a garage forum and vent, to what is probably the least sympathetic audience one could find, about your fiancé having too many tools? A forum he might even be a member of? Hopefully this is a joke, because if it isn't, the lack of self awareness is breathtaking.

you can never have too many tools

You need at least 2 of every common hand tool and one of all of the specialty tools that you use and that is for each shop or garage.

There is also another very complete set in the work truck and special sets in most every vehicle I drive

If he makes a living with tools you should not complain because they allow him to pay the bills

Common drive sizes are 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4” and some 1”

The reason for two is you need to quite often hold both the bolt and the nut.

Just be happy you fiancé is not chasing other females but if you won’t let him play with his tools then he will find something else to play with

I'd be interested in knowing exactly how many tools he has. Perhaps you can take a photo or three. If you feel an estate sale is coming soon. Please post a location and time. Several of us are willing to travel for a good deal.

Thank You.

There was a post on some Internet forum (pirate4x4, maybe?) many years ago, maybe 2009-ish from a woman complaining about how much time and money her boyfriend spent on his car/truck/boat whatever it was.
one of the responses was this long drawn out response telling her to **** it up, go out, get dirty with him in the garage, jump in the shower with him afterwards and bang his brains out.
ive been trying to find that post since I saw this because I’m not doing it justice, but I wonder if anyone else might recall it.

Huh? What is this? Enough tools? The answer is always "not enough"

Vavet. I’ll have to get back to you later, I, I mean we have to take a shower, the wife did a lube job on the truck and is filthy. She figures one more lube job and I’ll have to do a quality control check and then should be able to get back to you if it isn’t to late.
