You know your spending too much on multi-tools when.....

[SAK Guy]

Here's an updated version of one of mine.....


If you have 100+ lbs of SAKs and 12 year old tennis shoes!!!

but do you play tennis?  if not, no problem

Hey, I'm in my mid 50's....any low top athletic shoe is a tennis shoe.    

They failed me in the rain the other day and morphed into a front end loader. Been re-glued so many times that I'm gonna have to start wearing my boots.

#13 when your pillowcase has Swiss Army knives all over it.

Wait! You can get a pillow case with SAK's on it?

[leathermon]

My wife just told me I don't clean anything around the house, unless it's a knife or multitool. She only got mad when I took it as a compliment.

[ToolJoe]

#19 If you know all the places on your ride home from work you could stop and handle a mt in your hand before buying it online.

#20 You can recite all the different SAK sizes in your sleep.

#14 You spot a multi tool on sale and you automatically calculate how many you would have to buy so that after selling the extras you'd get to keep one for yourself, for free.
#15 You know the above scheme never works because, if you're honest with yourself, you know there's never really any extras.

[HarleyXJGuy]

The original question is flawed.

There is no spending to much money on tools, nice try.

Forgot to add I approve number 9 and would like to add one of my own.

#1134 You have MTs in all the cup holders of your car for no good reason.

I don't have OCD.  I have CDO, it is similar to OCD, but the abbreviation is in the correct, alphabetical order.  Now please excuse me while I go and wash my hands three times.
