What is the purpose of having a toolbox if it is not equipped with the tools you need? Whether you are working on a small project or a large job, you need to be able to put your hands on the tools you need, to get the job done.
Your toolbox should contain not just your everyday tools, but tools that are hard to come by. When you go to the hardware store, you might see some tools that you might not need right away, but eventually, you will. This is the time to stock up on those tools, so you can have them when the time comes.
