6. If you have two plier based MTs, you have the tools needed to fix an old PST or Micra.
7. You will always have a blade handy to open the package from ebay, with your new (to you), beat up old multitool.
8. Even if you don't have one on you, you don't have to walk as far to get to a tool.

10. You have back-ups in case of warranty/loaner.
11. You can keep one in the car, one as edc, one for bug out bag etc.
12. You can combine parts of them into the perfect multi-tool.
13. You can earn the collector badges.  :D

Guys, I was hoping for answers so I can win an argument with Mrs MTMatt. This is not helping much  :D

15. You can apply for a Guinness World Records if you've got enough of them
16. Once you have enough you can carry a different one every day of the month
17. And if you're serious enough you can get one to carry every day of the year and not repeat them
18. With sufficient tools you can make a table or nightstand by piling them up
19. With enough tools you'll never need to buy replacement flathead, Phillips and screwdriver bits
20. (similar to 11) You can stash them up everywhere to have one always handy and forget about carrying one on your person (bathroom, kitchen drawers, tables, chairs, car and vehicles, boxes, TV and refrigerator, microwave and freezer, stands, etc.)

You can anchor your house, in case it lies onto a tornado path.
You confuse metal detectors of thieves that look for gold after breaking in your house.
You can fill full octaves of Victorinox spring note music, to give a concert.

You can compare them to each other and see which one is best for you.
If a multi-tool is discontinued, you can sell it for profit.
A multi-tool you like might be on the verge of discontinuation, so you should buy several to have spares and replacement parts.
You can prove a point regarding your wife's endless shoe collection.
You can pass them down to your children and grandchildren.

Oh, thats an easy one.

When ever she brings home new shoes/bags/antique plates/dolls that look like taxidermied two year olds/et al, if you so much as open your mouth she just has to point to the tool on your belt and clear her throat.

I forgot an important one.
If you have enough of them, their mass can cause a deformation in the time-space continuum in the form of a black hole, thus effectively hiding the entire huge collection from your wife's sight.

No explanations needed, because they are not there!  :D
