@JoeX, That looks like serious hoarding - and I'm as guilty as anybody! I wonder why you've got 3 unopened tins of fence paint? I've found that anything garden related goes pretty quickly stuck at your garden entrance with a note saying 'free'. It does round here anyway. Just be brave!!!
I have one spade, one fork, one trowel, one brush. I find garden scissors among the most useful garden tool (I have lots) and a dozen secateurs - given, found, inherited, bought.
On the small community plots I use just one tool - a hori hori which does pretty much everything and is light to carry.
I love my pointy metal trowel but I have various plastic ones too and my small fork trowel but I’ve broken a couple of them now as the wood has weaken when I forget it in the borders and it’s been raining. Also my secateurs, always use them - I need 2 or 3 due to forgetting where I’ve put them down. I try to remember them by carrying them in my compost sifter which doubles up as various things.
Tools I use less frequently but need - lopper, hoe, fork, spade, rake for soil, rake for grass x2, broom, axe, electric hedge trimmer, mower, new jet washer.
I also have the useless bulb planter. Otherwise not too crazy.
My trusty wallpaper scraper, two pronged weeder, secateurs, little rake I bought for 99p , my kneeling mat, my gloves and a bucket to put the weeds in. That's me sorted. And a mattock sometimes.
