That is the beauty of having the database Ken. When you are in the shop you can pick up the tool and look at it. When you are at home you can look in the database.
Of course, the work is in getting them into the database. I did mine systematically by doing one draw of my tool chests/roll cabs one at a time. Then moved onto other items.
Consumable items, such as end mills and inserts don't get entered into the database. Easier to enter them into an Excel spreadsheet if you really want to keep track of them. Also, only drills that are larger than 1/2" or 13mm get entered. The rest I know are in my drill indexes.
