I have a lot of my dad's tools too. He put a little red dot of paint on some of them. He told me it was because there was a flood back in New Jersey where I was born, and it flooded the place he worked. He had to take his tools into work with him and he wanted to keep track of them. Every time I use them I know there isn't a problem I can't solve 'cause like he said 'It was designed and built by a guy who put on his pants just like you and me. One leg at a time. You'll figure it out.'
I can only imagine how hard it was on him when he got laid off, just like the situation I find myself in now. Only thing is, he had four kids still going thru school. At least mine are thru that and on their own.
I wish I could talk to him now.
