I have a lot of duplicates of things from accretion over the years. For example, I have a complete Craftsman screwdriver set that was always in a wall cabinet I had for my woodworking setup when I had one. Tools were segregated between garage and wood shop so as not to commingle with things that could be greasy or have sawdust in them. All of those duplicates are going north.
I don’t, however, have doubles of things like ratchets and socket sets. Some duplicates, but not complete sets. I’ll buy new for those and keep the dupes in Florida. I had a pretty good set of standard combination wrenches, but not metrics, so those will get bought as new up north, too. All of my MB specific stuff will stay in Florida. I’m not doing any substantive work on cars in Indiana, at least not intentionally. Worst case scenario there’s a Harbor Fright nearby, so if I had to make do with something in the way of hand tools I could snag it there. Xmas ask is more Lowe’s gift cards so I can get a rolling box to put the tool box on… -D > On Nov 23, 2020, at 3:59 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I hope you used the opportunity to buy some new tools too, you'll need a set > at the new manse. > > --FT > > On 11/23/20 3:49 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: >> For my birthday everyone in the family piled on and gave me Lowe’s gift >> cards.
