There is no such thing as hoarding when it's something you use. (or might use someday) I don't know how many drill chucks I have on hand, but I do "salvage" old electric drills for parts. Some get reused, some end up on a shalf, some in a corner, and so on. Then there are the ones that fit my lathe(s), MT2 mandrels. I have a number of 1/2 inch chucks that have been that have been replaced with chucks that close to a smaller size that were replaced for opening to 5/8 inch. Since my large drill press also has a MT2 mandrel, there are several that fit it too. Then there are the Dremels, (3 at last count) where I often replace the collets with a chuck for specific jobs. Then there are the "temporary" contraptions that get built for some specific job and then set aside intact. 'Cause I might face that same problem some day in the undefined future. If I can find it and don't need to build essentially the same thing again. Call it a couple dozen and if anyone went digging, maybe more. I am a self admitted "pack rat", nothing gets thrown out. Some one may some day need what I happen to have on hand. Never mind what the "ex spurts" (has been drips under pressure) think. What you think you need is your target.
