Stijn!!

I love my tools but a am not even a pretend pro and my tool collection mostly fits in one medium size box. And scattered all over several shelves drawers and the walls of the garage.

Well I did away with the monster Snap-On box a few years ago, it was just too large to fit in a shop bay, soooooooooo
I have five "smaller ones" three for work and two for here, one of which if used for nothing but welding/cutting/frankensteining tools. The part that really makes me sick is the doubles of everything. Who needs two Fluke 88's and so on.
My son was digging through the work boxes and he was saying "Hey we needed this last week", "Hey we need to get one of these" so on and so fourth. I finally just looked at him and said he needs to get out of a garage and into a shop if he plans on doing this for a living, to which he said, "I'm not as stupid as you"
My kids are brutally honest

I have to just imagine how many speciality tools you have for the different models and brands of cars. I have only worked on a 914, a 911 & one Elky.

That's me glen. It's hard to adjust after being used to a shop with probably more tools than Rick has in it. Not just mechanics tools either. We had just about everything you need to fab wood and metal too.

Oh yeah...Happy Freakin Burpday

Don't much keep track of anyone's burpdays so don't know when to dispense wishes until someone else has done so to remind me. So when I do express congratulations for making the anniversary of the first time being slapped on the butt until you scream, while genuine, rarely if ever am I the first to do so.

Happy Birthday Rick.

This is the same box that's in my garage.... except in blue. Unfortunately.......it's my brothers.
He retired (sort of) and rolled it into my garage since he doesn't have one
I've got three small boxes. A Mac a Craftsman and a roll around that my wife got me from NAPA I think. I'm in his box more than mine

I hit 50 today, and it feels just like 49, they are just numbers to me.
