You meant when you match the clothes your going to wear with the tools your carrying

When the desktop background on your laptop and your smartphone is a Leatherman ST 300.

Ahhh yes, thanks for the correction!!

@ Chacko ~ do you have room for 'THE BED' ?

[Chako]

Just barely.

... if most of your family know that you collect multitools, so at least six times Christmas morning you use the phrase "Oh, I have this one."

[Lynn LeFey]

... if most of your family know you like MTs, so on Christmas morning, you open a package to find a cheap-smurf MT, and have to restrain yourself from choking someone. Instead, smile through your rage, and say 'Oh... thank you'.

Yes! This!

[Lynn LeFey]

Yeah, but I'm still a little jealous of Grant's keychain hammer MT.

When you have to read this thread twice to realize that (a) we aren't looking for a new tool and (b) we mourning a tool that bit off more than it could chew.

You get your fourth  Gerber mp 600 and the difference from your other three is really minor.
And you decide to keep it.

I don't have a multitool problem...only multitool solutions

That's a good way of looking at it

[derekmac]

You might have a multitool problem if you say goodnight to them before you go to bed.  Even a bigger problem if you give them a kiss!

When trimming your fingernails, you are careful to leave enough to properly access and engage all relevant nail nicks.

Ha, this one is true for me as well actually.  I just never considered it a sign of having a problem...until now

You may have a mutitool problem if...... you buy a "new" multitool for your collection, only to later find you already have that one.

Exactly.  Or similarly, you see a good deal on a MT you might want, but first you have to do some checking (or at least some serious thinking) regarding whether (1) you already have that one, and (2) if you do, whether you should get a backup.

Or 3) whether it has some minor variation from the one you already have, which would technically make it a "different" tool, and therefore okay to purchase.*

If the one multitool you owned and carried for years was not only good enough but great...and now you own at least six and none of them are quite right.

Oh hell yes. My Supertool 200 was THE BEST.  Now with a PST, Rebar, Swisstool, and two Waves it seems it's always a tool on one I'm not carrying that I want.

Been there, done that.  I had to start a Spread Sheet to try and keep track of them all and prevent unintended (as opposed to deliberate) exact duplicates.  In my case some of the "minor variations" just might be undetectable to the naked eye (or in fact totally non-existant)   

I tell myself some of the deliberate duplicates are for "future trade bait", but that doesn't even fool me sometimes (eg even allowing for different versions and variations fifteen Schrade ST1 Tough Tool MTs is probably a bit of over-kill ! )

I know that feeling all too well. My MP 600 (and his predecessor) was fine for nearly 17 years. Then I joined here...
