tool room

I've got double and triple of some hand tools because I'd have a set in my truck, one at home, and another at work. I did find it easier to have a roll around in the shop for just the shop and another in my main area to work on cars and such. It seem you never find the tool you need but I'm hoping as put thing in a little bit of order it will be better.

I've got more tools than most 3rd world countries. If I organized all of them I'd be embarrassed by the sheer volume. Of course then I'd have to figure out how much money I've spent. And I'd have to add on to the shop to have enough wall space. Then I'd feel guilty from my good fortune. All bad things.:lmao:

Think I'll just continue the bliss of ignorance.

Your organizational skills are amazing!
I however am not so. 3 roll a rounds,and numerous other tool boxes,FULL !
And I can't stay away from yard/garage sales
What I do is make up general sets, cheap wrenches,screw drivers,socket sets, and a couple of different pliers,
and a hack saw, and a cresent wrench.(I slowly have been changing my cheap stuff for the better quality stuff)
Put them in a small tool box and give them to a buddy"s kid when they want to start
wrenching on something, helps to thin the pile, and gives the kids something to start with.
 
I like to keep two of everything min in the shop, then another set for the truck and maybe a few common doubles in that. The rest goes in my 4yr olds tool box. That kid has more tools then alot of grown men I know. ahahahahaha
