Lord, I used to dream about being equipped like that.
You may need to buy a bike lift and change your specialty; you know, cross train.

I’m at 77 myself, still want some tools to do little things, brakes, tune ups etc. Don’t have anyone in my family that I think would appreciate the tools or the fact that I gave them to them. I will probably find a young mechanic or a mechanic building a side business at home to give them to. Maybe I can trade out some future work on my Yukon. I’ve made my money off them years ago.My shop owner friend has first dibs on the stuff and his kid wants a tool box. There is also some pieces I want for my tools at home and frankly, there is some tolls I have now that I am just not using, in my driveway. I don't do heavy work here. No engine swaps, transmission swaps, no clutches unless is a rear wheel drive non transverse engine. I am picky, at 72, on what I will do.
I ALMOST did Snap On and Mac Tools sales/trucks but never looked forward to tracking down dead beats.
The old guy/seller, is doing ok, except for his health. He is trying to get rid of a few things so his wife will not have to deal with it, when he passes.
PLUS, what some people seem to not understand, sometimes, is that SAE wrenches and sockets do not sell like they used to. PLUS, what I have to sell, has to be needed by someone-with money, to sell it.
I work on old boats and older Harleys. Still need SAE and metric. Some Chinese junk doesn't seem to be either one. Good find.Yea, any tech should have an assortment of SAE wrenches and sockets. It's a just in case because of older vehicles still on the roads. Hell, recently, I had to buy some special phillip screwdriver bits just for certain Japanese vehicles that use the special phillips head on some of their fasteners, like the MAF sensor.
I also now have all three boxes keyed differently. Each box has their own personal key.
