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

SubscriberHi Lemo,
I think your father would say ," if you've made the agreement you had better stick to it".
They will be loved and used but not by you.
It doesn't diminish anything.

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.

SupporterDoes it have to be an "all or nothing" situation?
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?
