Does he or she really need another tool???
|
Posted about 1 month ago Here's the question: Does the person in your life, husband, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend really need another tool?? How many drills, screwdrivers, saws does a person need?? And, with all those toys does anything really get done around the house or yard?? My partner loves tools, loves them!! If there isn't a 12volt, automatic, two handled thingy wrapped up for her birthday or at Christmas, ladies I get that look. You know the look, the one eye or both eyes peering at you as if you have lost your mind. So how about you all - tag your it

| Posted about 1 month ago I love, love, love being the one to get my finance' that new tool that he has been eye-balling. Just recently his oldest daughter left the garage door open and all his tools got stolen. So, I guess we'll be buying everything all over again but that's ok because he deserves the best and had not spent the right amount on his tools. We'll fix that though. I would imagine that his "need" for more tools (regardless of how many he may or may not already have) is much like our "need" for a new pair of shoes. LOL Need Breeds Ingenuity!

| Posted about 1 month ago Kat, you put it into words well. Do we ladies really "need" that 3rd pair of black pumps? No. Want? Totally. Tools, I think, are like shoes and techy things. Sometimes you -- or your partner, friend, whomever -- just want the latest version out there! Anna H.

| Posted about 1 month ago I have to agree with KatS and TallAnna, I'm a shoe freak. Love em ,just can't seem to shop without stopping by the shoe department. Christmas is on the way, anyone got any ideas on the cool tool for him or her this Year?? |

| Posted about 1 month ago Ask my husband, who buys two of everything just in case. I remember donating a lot of new tools to our friends before we moved. I buy more than one pair of socks or the backless slippers because I have small feet and the stores do not stock a large inventory of the smaller sizes. |

| Posted about 1 month ago Hi stgreg11. You know I wish I bought like you and your hsband two of whatI really like. But I just by the one, then about a week later I think, "Man I should go back and get another pair or more" But I don't, then I regret it. Then again, I have bought two of something, got it home and was dissapointed. Now I have to return both, no big deal, but apparently I'm challenged in this area. That was a nice thing to donate the tools to friends before you moved. Thumbs up!!

Actually it is a "need." I'd have withdrawals if I didn't have them, lol. I'm just kidding. My husband is a tool freak. Maybe they don't technically "need" another tool, but if it makes him happy, then I'm all for it (within reason - I wouldn't want to have to deal with someone breaking the bank to buy tools.) Remember there are worse destructive addictions. In the realm of it all, this one seems a bit harmless.

| Posted 12 days ago Everytime we go to Costco, my husband just has to look at all the tools and any sports equipment. He has tools that I don't think he has even used. But then, I also have a closet full of purses! June Sockol
