    Not sure.
    Because i have specialty ones that cost more than they should be. Like the concrete vibrator, at the time when it was new I paid $600-700. Now it's $400.

    But renting one was $120 / day. It was worth my while to buy it in the end.

    But the tool box with all the tools let's say $7500-10k. Not including specialty stuff like press tool, rotary hammers, drills, saws. Just what's in the pics. The milwaukee tool box i got 5 years ago before covid for $750. Now it's double almost. Same box. Some of my stuff was cheaper before for the same tool.

    I use all the tools. It feels good to be able to do anything and know i have everything. No getting stuck. I don't like working not prepared.

    Also, I don't eat at restaurants. I only make my own food. I spend my money on other stuff that's important to me. One tool is like not eating out for a week. In the end I'm not wasteful.

    The tools always come through

    Also, I wipe my tools with rubbing alcohol after. If they get greasy / oily. They look clean. If a newer model comes out and I like it, there's still equity left in the tool to sell. And then i get the newer model.

    I told the gardeners to come every other week. What they really did most for me was the blower. With the milwaukee blowers I have i can't even tell they come every other week. It saves me $1k a year just for that.
    One 6.0 m18 battery has enough power to let me blow all the leaves on my property.

    A smaller snap on tool box used costs what my set costs full of tools. And yes I know the snap on box will last 3 lifetimes if taken care of and not abused. And the milwaukee box is disposable in comparison to a real tool box. But for civilian use, mines gone 5 years and looksthe same to me. If it lasts 20 total i would be happy. And if I got a snap on box I'd probably have to get a used one. And with the milwaukee I was able to get it all new. Just feels good to have your own stuff from new. That i can afford.

    My tundra was a SR5 , paid $36k new for it. I did 65+ mods myself. I do my own service. I feel like I'll do a better job for myself than a shop would, most of the time. I got parts from limited, 1794 , platinum, TRD pro, and katzkin leather and turned the truck how i want it. The day I got the truck i looked at a limited, it would have been $10k more in the end. And not as custom as mine, for me.

    I don't have these tools just for the tundra. I use them 98% of the time for anything and every thing. They come through.

    The other day a neighbor got these ac units and parts delivered on 3 pallet/ crate things. And i saw him trying to unscrew and take nails out of 1 to discard the pallet/ crates.
    In 20 minutes he got no where. I asked him if he was saving the crates and wood. He said no just break down to haul away. I was like just cut it up quick. I got out the m12 fuel hackzall. Mini sawzall. Gave it to him. He cut up all 3 in 10 minutes and had them in his truck to go throw away. He was super happy. He even said he was thinking it would take him 2 hours to take them apart his way. He Was impressed little one handed sawzall cut it all up with 1/4 of the battery.

    Just saying. The tools come through.
