I am planning for my future demise (the beginning of the end so to speak) as I am in my later years - still healthy and love wrenching, still buying new tools!
However, no one in my family seems to have my interest in mechanical things, or repairing them. I will have a 2-post lift to "dispose" of, bunch of air tools, hand tools, numerous electrical tools (drills, sanders, routers, planers, etc), chainsaws, all kinds of things.
I know if I don't plan this out, all of my tools will be sold for pennies at some auction. I would rather give them away to someone, or an organization, than see that happen (which of course I won't - being no longer around). Having said that, I would like to think I might be able to sell them, depending on time remaining of course!
It just bothers me to think now of what will happen to them. And no, I'm not sentimental - I just don't want some scammer making a ton of money off my family after I'm gone. I'd rather my family have the money or the tools if they so desire.
Anyway, thoughts?
