When we approach the topic of tools, it gets a bit tricky. Often, tools belong to a male spouse, so decluttering HIS things can be a big NO NO. The subject much be broached lightly and at the right time. There are new, improved tools always coming out. A new power drill my husband got for Christmas last year has an aimed light so you can see while you drill, a magnetic section so an extra drill bit will stick to the drill, and much more. So my question for him (at the right time) will be, "What about these old power drills? Do we need them anymore?"
Multiples, particularly if some no longer function, should be considered for donation or disposal. One drill should suffice most families. Ours also functions as a power screw driver, so can I get rid of the other power screw driver that doesn't have as much power?
Workshops, basements, toolboxes, and garages can be considerable decluttered by just paring down the multiples of various tools.
