How many crimp tools? (accumulated partly for working jobs I had to supply my own tools)

Two coax crimpers for RG58/RG59/RG174 - the one I use is ratcheted with replaceable dies
One NAPA crimper for butt spices, spades, and ring connectors
One RJ11/RJ45
Two Molex type 1.4 to 2.8mm
One for 50-conductor computer cable and ribbon wire connectors
One snap-ring plier

at work I had a $500 Times Microwave coax crimper up to 1/2 inch (LMR-600) connectors. I do not use crimp-style at home; preferring the old back-nut clamp-style connector for N connectors. (retired so no access to this one)

I do make RG58 and RG8x crimped N and BNC connectors (primarily shorter jumper cables).

Plus there is still another crimp tool to buy/find/use if you want to
make your own connectors.
I wonder who has the most crimp tool laying around and how many. Repair
of the jack on the rig side is no picnic either.
