I think my dad had an Eastwing claw hammer, a hand saw, a set of sockets that stored on the hex handle, a few screwdrivers and pliers, rounded out with a Crescent wrench. Maybe a clapped out chisel and dead hacksaw. Nothing worth caring about as I had more tools than he at age 12.
I have an angle hex drive with some of the sockets that live on the long side and a Eastwing hammer like his. The sockets maybe, but the leather wrapped hammer was likely not his.
I'm the only mechanically minded family member in all the generations that I know of. My mom was handy and could sew up a storm, and she was a fledgling artist, but that's as close as it got.
The rest were sad sacks when it came to tools. And so it goes, my stepson wouldn't know a screwdriver from an ice pick.
