Can you ever have too many tools?
I was just told that I have too many tools. Have a craftsman 26" rollaround & top chest full as well as a craftsman 40" rollaround full.
The way I see it is that its better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. It sucks trying to work on something when you don't have the right tools.

Mine are scattered around my property so I have plenty of room still in my tool box.

I'm really running short on places to put stuff in my tool box, but compared to my boss its just a tinker toy set. As long as your gonna use them and you can pay the rent I say you cant have enough tools. And if it makes the job easier then all the better.

In short, no.
Just look at sockets, you need 12 and 6 point in Metric and SAE in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drives. You need ratcheting wrenches, wrencheting ratchets, etc...

Actually, ratcheting wrenches are pretty much pointless if you have the correct accessories for your "normal" ratchets IMO.
But you are right on the 12pt & 6pt sockets, not to mention 8pt sockets (I really need to find a set of 8pts). Then you have the impact sockets as well as the normal sockets, etc etc.

ratcheting wrenches, wrencheting ratchets, bamboozling breakers and snafoodling sockets!
/seuss
But yeah, i have a 40" full of the expensive ones... and they're starting to rust from sitting in my damn basement. Suck.

To your question, I would say yes.
For instance, there are too many tools on this website.

But, no, you can never have too many tools. It sucks when you don't a tool you need and you need to take time and go buy it.

I've had a few instances where ratcheting wrenches fit the bill perfectly. Yes, a normal wrench will do, but this is a hair faster, and makes that cool sound.

I need more tools. I have two sets of 6 pt 3/8" drive, and a 1/2" drive set as well, along with metric ratcheting wrenches, and some metric box wrenches and screwdrivers. I need to get some deep-wells, aside from my 13/16" impact socket. I suppose I need to get more SAE crap, even if I'm not using it now, I may down the line.

thats pretty much what all my sockets are. The only 12pt sockets I have are my 1/2" drive ones. I also have a complete metcric & standard 6pt combo wrenches, those were a good buy. Need both the 6 and 12pt wrenches though just for the differences in access.

Even though I don't much care for a lot of Snap-On tools, their semi-deep sockets look like the ticket. There have been several times lately when the standard depth wouldn't get onto the nut and the deep couldn't get in to access it and I couldn't get a wrench on it because I don't have the flex end wrenches.
