Justifying a new Tool?

[6thtexas]

Anyone else ever get into a situation where you want to try something new but honestly can't justify it?  I've got:
 
a Swisstool X-it lives in my work bag and comes with me when I have real manual type labor to do, it's the nicest tool I own but also the heaviest;
a SOG Paratool-my normal EDC and in my pocket right now;
a Gerber MP400-always my fishing companion, had it for years, light and handy (unfortunately it smells a bit like catfish bait)
a P4 Leatherman-goes to town with me when I really don't think I'll need a "real" MT

I also have 4 SAKS- Classic SD, Alox Soldier, Huntsman, and an OHT.

I have a bunch of pocket knives and always have one on me.

Anyone think of any gaps I need to fill?

Spend enough time here and you will find out you had gaps needed filling that you couldn’t even imagine

[Mr. Whippy]

Yes.

You have a serious Atwood deficiency.

Your Leatherman titers are dangerously low.

And you suffer from flashlightopenia.

[sparky415]

Yep do not go in to the flashlight forum! 

[6thtexas]

I've been bit by the flashlight bug, but not near as bad.

Got a couple of Olights and some keychain AAA ITPs

Oh yeah, also a rechargeable B&D searchlight.

Why no Farmer yet?

You need more Aloxie goodness

[Medic82]

SOG! You NEED more SOG's

[glorn]

I don't believe you mentioned owning a Crunch.

Perhaps a PST?  Slightly uncomfortable grip aside, it really is still a good tool.

What is this "justification" thing you speak of?

[Mercury]

I have this mode I go into when my wife is around that somehow makes her understand why I need whatever I am buying that day.  I usually don't remember half of what I said and the other half doesn't make any sense later.  I guess justification is only needed for the wife at my house, if I think I have the cash and I want something bad enough, there is not justifying it, it just happens.

I've been justifying buying more multitools by instituting my "save a leatherman" program. Basically I troll the local pawnshops every few weeks and see if they have any old leathermans in decent shape for a good price(a good price being they key point). So far I've bought 2 nice pst's for about $16 a piece and a nice minitool for about $10. I've thought about expanding out into saving abused leathermans, but I'm not sure I can spend that much money yet since there seems to be no shortage of damaged ones. I need to though since I passed on a sideclip for $20 a year or so back that mostly needed a good cleaning(still kicking myself on that one).

I dunno about this "bug" you all are talking about... I can't justify getting a second Leatherman, even to replace the one I lost. I guess I'm either really cheap, or completely satisfied with my Skeletool CX. I'm sure I will replace my Surge eventually, just have other things that need my money more urgently (climbing gear for ice and rock, and some backcountry stuff)

Skele CX + Surge = 2 Leathermans.

You need some large fixed blades.
You need a few Leatherman tools.
I have succumbed to buying new stuff every week or so. Its getting worse and at this point I am struggling to limit myself to only one new item a week...

Except for Atwoods which are first come first served and normal rules do not apply.
On which note: I still really really want a Snakebite.

So basically the tools you need now are all the tools you don't have yet. When you own every model ever made, (Chako) you will find something else to need.
