I've seen that guy's website many times before. Amazing how many tools in total the guy has bought, how good his photos are, and that he actually still finds time to make chips now & then.
Not too many of the tools I have are bought because I "might need them someday", but there's a few. That guy appears to do that 10x over what any normal person would do. I have nearly every size Starrett tap wrench made, in both styles. He has that, plus competitive brands, high-end ratcheting types, crappy designs, unique designs, and so on. And he does this in every type of tool imaginable. It's almost like he abhors the idea of someone else might own a tool he doesn't have.
I guess most of us have at least one obsessive-compulsive bent, that must be his.
