    Welcome to the "No thirteenth" fun.

    When I can't find an often used tool, shop cleaning is due.
    Same applies for having a "path" through the shop.

    If I'm forced to leave a room, to turn a board around - cleanup time follows.

    For me, it's hammers.

    Down through the years, if I needed one and could not find it, I would go buy one.
    It is embarressing.
    Nope, it is just you...... Pencils, tape measures, or almost anything else, yep.......

  3. I don't think I own even one.

    Scrapers, beaders, whatever you call them, I just realized how many I have!

    Seven, although not all in one toolbox, unless you count the clamps, in which case it gets up to ten.

    Back when I was young and had clapped-out cars and other machines but limited tools, I could not have survived without Vise Grips. It's been an interesting irony that my acquisition of tooling and the newness of my mechanical possessions have moved together. Now that I have enough tools to carry out extensive repairs, I'm much less likely to need to make extensive repairs, and my actual use of Vise Grips these days is probably about 1% of what it was 30 and 40 years ago.
