Do you ever get told by people that you have too many of a certain tool?

I just took stock of all my soldering equipment:

Weller WTPCN soldering station with pencil iron and assorted miniature bits (120V)

Weller general-purpose 25W iron, non temp-controlled with assorted bits (240V)

Weller T60 60-watt temperature controlled iron with a half dozen bits (240V)

Weller 100W temperature controlled with assorted bits (120V)

Antex 18W pencil iron on a homemade base incorporating half-wave rectifier option for reduced power, plus another half dozen miniature bits (240V)

A huge Weller 150W iron (120V) with 1/2-inch bit (don't think it's been used for years!)

75-watt Solon iron (240V) with flat 1/4-inch bit (1950s vintage, wooden handle)

Weller 8200 100/140W soldering gun (120V, 1960s vintage -- Even have the original booklet and warranty card with it).

Weller D550 200W+ soldering gun (120V -- It's in a plain-ish box stamped "U.S. Government Property," so I hope Uncle Sam sold it as surplus!)

Weller "Universal" 100W soldering gun (240V version).

Plus a couple of no-name bargain-basement cheapo irons in the junk box.

Strange thing is that some people would call this obsessive yet I consider it a perfectly normal collection! [Linked Image]

(Oh, you might also get the impression that I have something of a liking for Weller equipment [Linked Image] ).

So, what tools do you have in what some people would regard as larger than normal quantities?
