1,000,002 piece toolkit! Limited time only!

Good evening!  I'm sure that title caught your eye.  A 1 million and 2 piece tool kit?  Wow, really?  How do you do that?

Well, if it was like most toolkit ads I see, Here's what you would get:

1 phillips head screwdriver
1 flat head screwdriver
200,000 wire connectors/terminals
200,000 assorted bolts
200,000 assorted nuts
200,000 assorted washers
200,000 assorted zipties

Sure I'm being facetious, but isn't that about what happens?  You see an ad for a 265 piece toolkit, and 170 pieces (or more) are terminals/wire nuts and screwdriver bits at best.  Don't get me wrong-driver bits in a great assortment (flat-head, phillips, torx, allen) all come in handy, but don't count a 20 pack of standard phillips bits as par tof a toolkit to inflate the total impress me.

This is a pet peeve, but just wanted to share it-what's the largest "tool"kit you've seen and how bad was this problem?
