Ok lads lets start a group !

I have about 5 different full tool-boxes (3 off them the large wheeled stanly chest) each for a different function House bashing, Industrial, panel building, offshore (small & light) & a mix.

I have tools for Sparkying, plumbing, chippying (inc: Bench saw, Chop saw, circular saw, Varios hand saws, Router, biscuit jointer)Hang on a minute I'm supposed to be a sparky!, Plastering, Bricklaying ~(well a pointing trowel & shovel)
I also have a Chainsaw which has remained boxed & unused for 2 years after a mate showed me a clip of someone seriously injuring themselves. I'm not scared of any tool but Hmm maybe i will get training for this one.

Ok I ADMIT IT I need to join the self help group

Ive cot 4 toolboxes all set up differently. Got one with the sparks gear, one with PAT tools and plugs etc, one with all my engineering tools and a small on with the stuff for the engraving machine................Also got a wall kit in the out buildings with yet more tools, plus a bug box of spare and obscure stuff.........

Yes I am a tool-aholic and Im not afraid to admit it. I also live within sniffing distance of the CK tools factory..........

Tool wise, buy good and avoid the cheap crap, as with anything, you get what you pay for. If you can get one, halfords do a trade card with good discount on the tools. Halfords professional is lifetime guarenteed and the VDE screwdrivers are the comfiest Ive come across.
