So has anyone else seen their very practical possession of several multitools morph into a collection?

Recent family portrait:

Hmm... nice start.

Come to multitool.org. We understand you there....

You have me beat - but aren't they just the handiest things....

Pfft, you call that an addiction? You have a ways to go. I can name all the items pictured, and I have given away at least half the amount pictured when they became surplus to my fleet (and for the betterment of humankind.)

-Doug, not guilty of enabling

Now I feel like a rookie. I only have 5.

You need a Leatherman ES-4 . .

It's not an addiction...it's a hobby.

Yup, like Doug I can also name every tool in that picture and probably have the same one in my collection. You know it's an obsession when you can't even remember how many you have, but I would guess 25+, not counting the no-name knockoffs. It all started out as a practical collection to find the perfect multi-tool, and just evolved into a pile of non-contenders. I still don't actively collect them, but if I see something that's unique I like to get it. So which one out of that collection do you currently use?

The Charge TTi is my EDC, although it is going back to Oregon for some TLC. So I got a new Wave to stand in while it is on vacation.

With the possible exception of the Pulse, all of those pictured were either on sale (75% off for some) or gifts from people who know me too well. I certainly plan to get more, but don't tell my wife.

I haven't even brought the knives into the picture yet.

I thought I was bad, and I've given away most of mine, just keeping the ones I use the most plus a couple more with sentimental value.
