Tooloholic?

valerko

Hi my name is Val and I'm a tooloholonic.Any others out there?

Do any of you buy tools just because they want them,not because they really need them?Coming out with the excuses to buy new tools?

My recent addition Festool T55 with CT 33 and MFD 1080
Yeah yeah yeah,I wanna get in little more finish work and that's why I've bought it but do I really need it?Hell no,I'm framer mostly.

I can rationalize any tool purchase under 200 and am pretty good at higher end rationalazation.

Yes in fact I just bought a T55 tonight with clamps and the mft/3 table. I just finished the job that I should have had it for. I've been looking at it for a few months but didn't want to spend the money, then my wife suggested the tool and she talked me right into it. By the way during the few months I was contemplating buying the Festool, I was supporting my addiction with other tools.

Yep, same here. I buy stuff just in case ill need it. Bosch Brute breaker $1500 used it once. 2 Hilti roto hammers never used. I think it is a sickness

Hi Val, I too am a toolaholic. It has been 3 days since my last tool. Just remember step 1 is admitting it. Step 2 is getting your wife not to kill ya every time you come home with a new tool.

Yes, serious Toolaholic.
Probably most of the guys here are.
Not only a toolaholic, but a tool catalogaholic too. Man, can I waste some time drooling over new tools in catalogs.
I get almost as many catalogs as bills in the mail. Of course, new tool catalogs lead to more bills...

Hey Xanadool,

What are ya gonna do with those Hilti rotary hammers? Interested in selling one?

(I have limited internet access and may not reply for a few days, I ain't snubbin' noone...)

I will buy a high-quality tool for a job even if it is probably going to be a one-time-thing. As long as the purchase does not make me lose money on the contract. That is the extent of my addiction!

I have started the slide down the slippery slope of festool. Their tools are way better, longerlasting, time saving money makers. Worth everything you pay for them. Added bonus they retain 75%+ of their vaule used, easy to sell and buy the newest green and blue to get your fix. I acually put my CT22 and when I had collected 4 Systainers to stack on top I wheeled it next to me in bed. Girl friend got mad and went downstairs and slept, she snores anyways.

Hi I'm Dave and I am a toolaholic. My last tool purchase was over a week ago I am starting to get the shakes I think a new set of Stabila levels will fix that though! God do I love tools!!

Let's just say I'm buying a new 6 x 12 enclosed trailer this week for my addiction........

trav007

Just another addict. I tried to buy a couple tools today but was denied due to the fact the tool shop I needed is closed on Sundays..... In fact I think I'll change my screen name to TOOLJUNKIE....

Augh,
I just purchased anothe one ... this one was for a friend. Does that count if they'll let me use it? Hey Warner, with Festools new price increase April 1st you might even be able to make money on those Festools.

Investment tools, Daughters college money, That just makes me want to use them more!

Hello All,
My name is Leslie and I'm a tooloholic as well. I haven't joined a 12 step program for it yet. hehe.

The worst part is justifying the tool to my husband who just rolls his eyes at me every time I get a new tool. He's pretty much given up.

I tell him it's for my business (and it is!) I tell him you must have the right tool for the job (and that's true).

And yes, I too and a catalogoholic. I love to read them, especially when I'm relaxin in my hottub! LOL

john5mt

at least you arent married to a tool oholic guy or you two would be screwed
