It fits me to a T.

[Tim66]

Thats perfect,lol.How true it is.

[dataway]

I must be special ... I actually manage about 10% cleaning

[vertigto]

I am a little retentive and try to keep everything organized. Otherwise I forget where I put things.

[salem1912]

Me too. Been out there for three day's. Son say's it still looks the same. Anybody need a set of piston and rods for a 1981 Dodge 2.2L new ? Seem to not get rid of anything just relocating to a different part of the garage

[242177P]

I've found stuff I forgot I ever had, it's like getting things for free!

[cnc]

Yep all true

[gtohunter]

Got a bad habit of saving spark plugs removed doing tune ups over the last 5 decades. Will never ever use any of them, but I got a bucket of them just in case!

I have realized that I am missing something every garage should have. A coffee can full of random bolts. I have been playing with my stuff. Painting my calipers. Cleaning tools. That sorta thing

[hurryinhoosier62]

Definitely applies to me. I told my wife that after finding all of my hand tools I shouldn’t have to buy any for the next 10 years. I discovered I own 5 10mm sockets.

I have a wooden crate under one of my rolling benches that has a crate full of bolts removed over the last 3 decades that's splitting apart at the seams, plus several coffee cans full. My wife says I'm a hoarder. I disagree, hoarders save junk that isn't useful.

I sorted all my nuts, bolts, screws and washers into different cans. I have a tub for electrical and misc. When I need a bolt or nut I go to the store and buy a pack. Easier than dumping the can on the counter and going through the pile. Plus, the leftovers from the pack get to go into the can for future non-use!

I also have cans of fasteners. But I spend way more time searching through them than it would take to buy new. I usually find about one or two less than what I need and end up going to the store anyway. And when/if I find the amount I need, I spend the same amount of time cleaning them up for use.

[carcrazy]

It certainly applies to me!

[T.Weber]

Yep,
Guilty as charged.

[71HO4SPD]

Sounds like my two year old when I tell him put his toys up for the night.

[Jack Gifford]

Well at least I'm not the only one. And I agree- nobody could see any difference in the garage. But I am stimulating the economy, by buying parts to resurrect some "found" items (like the circular saw I built in shop class in 1957).

[dataway]

I have a set of Metric and Standard thread checkers ... the kind on a cable you screw the bolt into on one side and thread a nut on the other side ... if I'm really bored I go down at night, listen to crazy people on late night AM radio and sort through the used bolts and put them in their labeled drawers.

[Drag Star Le Mans]

I was doing this today, even throwing some junk away.
