Tapmatic. Biggest waste of money and time I ever tried. Hated it. need a "Sensitive Drill Press" -- right now, I use a
Grizzly Hand tapper with an electric drill attached. I tap probably 80 holes a day - and don't have to change the chuck every two minutes like I would if I convert to Tapmatic on my drill.
Detest UPS. Postal service only.
Everything and every tool has it's own place. The clutter is not normal - some, but not nearly as much as you saw.
Most tools we use are specialized and small. Not pegboardable.
