   1 1/4 hp and 3 hp DW plunge routers, a PC 310 Mini-router (they call it a production laminate trimmer, I guess it would work for that too.) plus a Dremel router base.  Three 9.6V Makita cordless drills, one of which is a right angle.  Why do you want to know?

   We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.  I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

   Too many--yeah right!

   Bosch 1617,PC 690 w/ plunge base too, PC 693, PC laminate trimmer, PC 8529, and soon to add a PC 7518

   they seem to pile up, but I really do use each of them for different chores...

   as for drills, I only have 2--a 12v makita, and a 14.4 bosch

   Now, handplanes on the other hand...a whole wall and then some.

   I guess this thread brings out the voyeur in all of us. Counting up my routers as I sit here, I think the total is about 12 -- all PC, except for 3 Bosch. I know somebody that has twice that number. He jokes that every time he buys a new bit, he buys another router to go with it, since he hates to change bits.As for cordless drills, I have seven Panasonics -- which I think is ridiculous. But, when you look at the price of two new batteries, you can usually get another drill to go with them for only a few bucks more."I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong."

   "I know somebody that has twice that number. He jokes that every time he buys a new bit, he buys another router to go with it, since he hates to change bits"

    

   I'm that guy......  I do one off and custom work so it's important to keep things moving.   The main bunch are PC becaue the bases interchange and the guides and bushings etc are simple.  I've got Makita, Hitachi, Dewalt and Bosch plunges, and the bosch is by far my favorite.  I don't think I have a problem,  but people who notice such things are shaking their heads......

   Hard not to accumulate, eh?

   Min is 3 powerdrills, 1 for a clearance hole, one for full depth and one for the countersink. Drilling a few hundred holes on a production job soon pays for the machines. And a dedicated power screw-driver. And a couple of spares.

   Routers. A big Mak under a table with a Unilift. A couple for heavy and light (one-handed) work. I also have one set up as a dedicated arc-cutter, fixed to a long beam.

   Bought a box of stuff at an auction a week ago, included an old B&D drill (and, amazingly, a chuck key) and gave it to my nephew who is a building apprentice.

   Don't need any more, but also have - just because I like them - a signature series all-aluminium B&D cordless drill (looks very staunch) and a neat little Bosch cordless screw-driver (IXCD 3.6 V, made in malaysia) which weighs practically nothing, fits in your hand like a ladies shooter, and has more grunt than my right arm.

    Routers- PC 310, PC 100H (my favorite), PC 690 w/ fixed and plunge base, and PC 7518. Thinking about a Makita 3612C .........

    Cordless- Makita 14.4 NiMH w/flashlight. Hope to add Mak 14.4 impact driver later this year. Makita should make a radio. Got Milwaukee's jobsite radio ...... built like a tank and great sound but a dang battery for it cost more than the radio.

   Routers:

   Milwaukee 5625-20 3.5 HP w. above-the-table height adjust, the ultimate table router.

   PC 895PK 2.25 HP w. fixed and plunge bases (new; nice set at a good price; still waiting for them to send me the free edge guide).

   Old Ryobi 1.75 HP plunge router; my first, only takes 1/4" bits, hardly used now.

   Cordless Drills:

   Old Makita 9.6V; the NiCad's don't hold much of a charge anymore.

   Makita 12V w. NiCad's; both batteries shot but it takes the newer LIMH (see next).

   New Makita 12V w. LiMH's (came with flashlight also).

   BTW, my wife's one power tool is a Makita 9.6V she got for herself (didn't want to worry about messing up mine anymore)

   And OT, but I have a 1/2" Milkwaukee Magnum corded drill, for those times when wrist-busting torque is needed.
