Hmm you know what, better just get the impact driver and hammer drill set. You know, in case that screw on the light switch plate is sticking and then I need to drill a hole through concrete after removing the light switch plate just for the fuck of it and then breaking it when replacing it because the torque of the impact driver was set too high.
And then when buying a new switch plate, I should get a bandsaw because they probably won't be 25% off if I find myself in a situation where I need to make a precision cut on a piece of wood, so I'm really saving a bunch of money by getting it now. And I'll need a shop vac for the sawdust.
Oh, and a screw driver is probably a good idea so that I don't break this new plate. Now should I get the set of 50 or will the set of 20 be good enough?
Oh shit, I wonder if my landlord will let me pay next month's rent in drilled holes or wood cuts. I have an extra broken light switch plate if he needs one, but somehow my money has gone missing.

Haha, I knew it would be Hal and the lightbulb before clicking. But I was going for more of a "why do I want tools I don't need and can barely afford and why do they still make me happy to have them despite that?".
My last tool purchase was an impact and hammer drill set, though mostly because the best deal at the time came with a hammer drill instead of a non-hammer drill and they can be used for normal drill tasks. I still haven't used either of those drills 😂. Though I didn't go broke to get them.
Seems like my comment hit someone's nerve though.
