Thanks for all the advice!
I new the answer! But was hoping someone would convince me i wasn't being an arse!!
Will keep to my original decision and be happy the tools are being put to good use!
My son and I have lots of other fond memories of Frank/Pop and a few tools won't change these!!
Cheers Lemo
If it was me i would put a proposition to them and see what they say, worst that can happen is they say no,Quote:

Sounds like a great time to start your own Father/Son tradition. Some new tools with both your names engraved on a couple of special ones. [smilebigeye]Quote:

Would you feel better if you asked if there were any tools that were duplicated or of no use to the daughter for some other reason?
If you insisted that you only wanted a few keepsakes that she didn't need, would that keep everyone happy?
