    Keep th one on the bottom: best condition, longest (most leverage/torque), double ended... sell the rest and put the money in your new 'tools/repairs only account'

    You know, money was invented 'cause people got tired of hauling clay jugs, baskets of rice, cannonballs, beaver pelts, etc. everywhere they went...

    I would keep them all. Sometimes a stubby wrench comes in handy.

    There is an unbelievable amount of truth in that statement.

    You can never have too many tools! I won't ever get rid of mine...I probably have 5-6 full SAE and Metric socket sets randomly scattered between my garage, my taco, my jeep, my tool bag, and my tool box. Just remember: you never need it, till you need it. I know many times needing a tool and I have to stop what I'm doing to run to Lowes to get the tool. Luckily(and hard on the wallet) for me I live 2 minutes from Lowe's. But I wouldn't part with any tool I own just because you never know.

    Looks like you are missing the 1/166th bit. Standard, not metric.

    What I hate is when you need a certain size socket and ALL of them are there except the size you need. You look everywhere and of coarse you find multiples of all the other sizes except the size you need. Finally you give up and use a crescent wrench. After you round off the bolt head, you finish it off with vicegrips.

    And then there's the torx. You can never have too many torx bits.
