No disrespect intended, but why would you need three of these things? That's the thing with this 'hobby',: it can all too easily develop into a bad habit!!
No disrespect taken.

For me it’s not just a hobby. I do early ford work for a living. I use KR Wilson and specialty tools daily. For example I use my sun machine at minimum twice a day. I have four of them so that when one goes south I have another to rely on. Unlike a 1/2” wrench some of these tools are hard to find and I rely on them for every day use

Brian you make a good point that many of these tools are easy to make if you own a lathe or a mill like the seal drivers, etc.
