Sorting through my Father-In-Law's tools

[njsteve]

I've been sorting through the tool boxes and playing a giant game of concentration/Mahjong matching up sets of wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, etc., to make tool kits for my kids and cousins. Not exaggerating: he had at least 100 screwdrivers, alone. All different makes. I was able to match up a full set of vintage Craftsman screwdrivers and various pliers as well as actual "Vice Grip" brand locking pliers for my daughter. I threw in one of Wayne's old hammers as well. She wanted Wayne's yellow tool box, so I got that all set up for her.

I got my son's tool box similarly set up though its the grey steel Craftsman tool box.

Here's some of what it started as: just boxes of wrenches and sockets and hand tools. I spread them all out over the garage floor and just started matching things up. I was able to move some of his nicer versions of my old stuff into my tool boxes (and next to his newer Craftsman box that is now parked next to mine.)
