Soren,
There is one more aisle -
Things you have no use for, but you're 'Man-Shopping' and your testosterone level indicated you need one more toll.
I get in that line from time to time. I have lots of stuff I'll never use and lots of stuff I've had to re-buy because I forgot I bought it when I didn't really need it.
I don't know how many times I've bought adhesive backed velcro strips for no reason at all, but I've had to buy them at least twice when I did need them - only to find the previous ones afterward...

Works for me ... if you ever lose anything, the best way to find it is buy a new one ... the original turns up approx ½hr later .. DOH!!

I must have 8 25' tape measures and at least a dozen line levels, 5 glass cutters and countless duplicate sized sockets and wrenches (spanners) but I bet I can only put my hand on one of each...and then only after a search of the premisis!

Well...THAT'LL TEACH YA to store your stuff inside BENNY'S GARAGE!!! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I heard that! I have a bunch of hand tools, some duplicates, some 100th anniversary Stanely stuff I don't use. My friend's dad is an engineer for Stanley, free is good  A friend of mine gave me some good advice once. Never start a plumbing project on a Sunday or during a snow storm. You NEED a hardware store to be OPEN.
