I’m a tradesman by profession. I’m a licensed HVAC Supervisor with a crew of several men who go out to do HVAC service calls. I also manage an apartment and townhouse community. My need for hand held tools is an understatement. I feel like I can never have enough tools.

At my workplace and office I would estimate that we have over 300 hand-held tools and over 100+ electric power tools. I try my best to keep things organized in various tool boxes and cabinets. However, things never get returned to the spot they were found. No matter how hard I try…within a week things are all over the place.
I have a work room at home which allows me to keep things organized which I love. I have several tool boxes, cabinets, hanging hooks, storage racks, etc. I keep things organized my type and size. I make it a habit to put things back every time I use them. Even though I have a lot of tools at home…again, I always feel like I don’t have enough.
When I go out shopping…yup, I head for to the home & garden type of stores, the hardware store, etc. I enjoy shopping for new tools! I enjoy giving my old ones to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers when I get new ones. Tools…I just love them.
