I meant to mention that you should weed out your "bad" tools since they always give you a false sense of security. Just when you need a tool that is bad, you realize it will not do the job. So what I did years ago was separate my good, fair, and bad tools. I cleaned up my good ones, replaced any that were missing, and used them in the garage. The fair tools I put in a cheap portable tool box and keep them in the SUV. The bad tools(not broken) I donated to a local charity that helps the homeless get into cheap housing. I figured if I were in that position, I'd like old rusty tools better than not having any at all. Any stripped or broken tools went into the recycling bin or the trash.

Over the years I've been much happier as a result.
