My dad, although he hopefully has many years ahead of him, recently asked about what I’d want from his estate if he were to pass. I thought for a minute and told him that a few tools would mean the most; everything else is just stuff. My dad knew the guy that used to run Usag USA imports in the 80’s and the two things I remember him using all the time as a kid are a wood-handled mallet and a screwdriver set with removable bits that can be oriented either in-line with the handle or as a T-handle. Incredible how long good tools last and what a lasting memory they can create. Great article, Mike!
