109 Pretender made a comment in the "Found One" post about how he's accumulated a ton of tools over the years from working on cars.
This got me laughing about a pledge I was asked to make recently to the captain of my household...my wife Allison.
What Allison has noticed is that I have a bad habbit of forgetting about tools I have, and re-buying them. This results in my owning two or three impact wrenches, or five of the same gear pullers, etc. Her favorite is when I find a "specialty" tool, and I can't remember what it does, and don't remember buying it. Recently, I found a dissasembled triumph motorcycle in three differenct boxes that I'd forgotten I had. The funniest part is that we moved three years ago. Yeah, Allison didnt think it was so funny.
At any rate, the pledge I have made is that I will no longer go to harbor frieght/sears/paint shop/etc. unless I have a list of what I plan to buy. Before I make said list, I must check to make sure I don't already have what I think I need from hargorfreight/sears/paint shop/etc. I am banned from "ordering" things from internet supply houses. Go figure.
Any of you guys have this same issue?
