Tinkers and Tool Collectors
Is it me or do watch enthusiasts also have a secret tool passion? The first time I saw a spring bar removal tool I was in love. It is the same with secateurs, shears, pruning saws etc. I love stripping them down, cleaning & sharpening. I love the tools that are required to achieve this. Do you have a tool passion?

I had a thing for knives, zippos and multiply tools. I used to be a vehicle inspector for a private auction company, I could go on for hours on the cool little tools, knives and shit id find. Was the go to guy for getting your knive tightened up and sharpened at work and it just endedup getting out of hand. Now I Have a duffel full of knives that just sit in the closet
Yup. Being a watch guy has my extended family equating that to EDC tools. While I dont collect them per say, I love a good functional knife and working on various other hobbies has lead to a small army of precision drivers and other miscellaneous wrenches, etc. Bring in the family and small EDC tools keep showing up.
Ive worked construction for many years so I have most tools Ill ever need
A watch making YTer I watch says watchmakers are the biggest tool junkies in the world. He's only partly joking.
I have tools I've never used but eventually might. Lol
I often take pictures at work or at home together with the watch, I thought you might enjoy
