I think that maybe "NEED" is not really to right word. For me, I enjoy
tools in and of themselves. I enjoy looking at how they work/function and
how they are made. I enjoy studying the inventive and ingenious designs.
Most of the tools that I have, I do use. However, many more pass through
in one way or another mostly because I find them interesting. I'll buy
them, and learn about them. If I really like them, I'll keep them. If not,
I let them move on, mostly because of a lack of space and don't have room
to have a tool museum.  Still, "NEED" is not really the right word. More of
a simple fascination and enjoyment of tools. This applies to most all kinds
of tools, including kitchen, mechanic, metal working, electrical and
woodworking tools. However, I have little to zero appreciation for plumbing
tools - mostly because I hate plumbing work. I can fix one leak and cause
three new ones at the same time.  I'll leave that to the pros.
