Tools, glorious tools

Honestly, how many 5/8" wrenches do I need? Well, I have five in my main tool box, plus one in my telecom tool bag and two more in different tool sets - the kind that have the nice organized case. So I suppose the answer is that I need eight. The thing is that, even though I've made a real effort in lightening the load of stuff, I have a very difficult time parting with the duplicates, knowing full well that any day I could lose seven and really NEED that eighth wrench.

Of course, I could pass the spares along to Chris or Alex - and they are welcome to have them. But I've become a believer in the sets with matching boxes - complete with a clear home for each piece.

So, until i find a better plan, I'll keep one of each size in my main tool tray and the spares in my spare box. And hope that, when I finally retire, I'll use them all in my VW hovercraft dune buggy project. Except...I'll need metric.
