They did the same thing when we got new tools for this last season. We now own a Dewalt 12" miter saw and a Delta 10" one. Why would we need 2 miter saws. The only thing I can think of is if we cut wood on one and steel on the other so we wouldn't have to change the blade but we've actually never needed to cut steel for anything. There are also 6 $150 soldering stations, 3 soldering guns and 3 heat guns.
Maybe somebody heard of the imense excitement in electrical connection parties.  Somehow we also ended up with a wood chisle set  Luckily there's really nothing we're lacking except a set of allen (hex) ball end drivers. Come to think of it for some odd reason we never really owned a whole new role of solder either??????
