Do you plan on resaling some of that stuff or are you just a hoarder?
Why would anyone need 5 drills?


In case they need 5 holes, obviously...

And don't forget the Pentapusses and their construction projects.

I have an ungodly number of flash lights. I don't know why, yet I need more of them.

I drive a completely unnecessary sports car, but I love it.
I’m a minimalist, so no junk in my house, I don’t order nonsense from ebay.

But the 3.7L naturally aspirated engine guzzles down fuel.
That’s my expensive addiction.

I have worked in a few minimalist peoples homes and came away shocked and surprised at their life styles , very rich people with tons of cash to burn yet they had little to no material possessions to show of , The guy had maybe 5-6 things hanging in his wardrobe and that was basically it , i did dig the life style and how easy it was to keep clean and tidy , but the bareness simply knocked me for 6 .

Keep that sports car for as long as you can buddy as you are a long time old as they say

I kidnap social justice warriors and tie them up in my basement. Feeding them only processed meat that i force my wife to cook while chained to the sink. I also pin their eyes open while re-runs of Trumps inauguration speech play on the TV. I leave all the windows open with the central heating on full blast and goosestep into the room at regular intervals.

Their screams comfort me to sleep.

Thankfully someone gets it
and i keep the parcel delivery men busy and in shape , two of the lots i bought came from a online kids and air ambulance charities so it will go towards good causes . I got one lot early yesterday of 1960 tools all in the box minted it shocks me that people buy things and never use them much but look after them with all the sales and guarantee forms etc , which is what i look for .

But i could be blowing it on booze and other stuff
but i love all the presents i send myself because every day is like Xmas with all my new toys arriving .

They are easy to restore which i enjoy doing and have already lasted a lifetime so i am making them last one more , they may need restoring in 2050 or 60 again depending on who uses them

Since the start of the month my habbit went totally out of control lol

$ 1000 EASY mostly on tools .

If you tell people you are addicted to gambling,porn, drink ,drugs etc etc they a self help group for it


I am a tool addict and no such group exists , maybe i should start one , i have bought 5 drills in the last 24 hrs alone and a lot i have bought cold in the right hands be used as WEAPONS


Those ultra sharp lathe chisels would make anyone trying to stick a flu jab into you think twice when you take it from the taped position up your sleeve



up there for thinking down there for dancing

i TOTALLY NEED HELP


Thing is i could be blowing this all on fine whisky and smoke but spend my days clicking on ebay by it now or on a bidding war and it is being noticed


I have collectors actually messaging me about stuff ikyn , i have one of the best collections in the country of a certain group of tools and i only started on this group a year ago
i think i may have a compulsive disorder


When i kick the bucket my family will have to work for their inheritance , but i love restoring old things and i am really good at it so they will reap the benefits

Better than blowing the lot on MJ
