If you have a lot of (good, useable) tools that you need to store if space is limited right now, do this-
Find a friend, maybe even an old friend, that is staying put in a home with lots of room (big garage, shed, shop) that is into the things you are, and ask if they'd lie to have your tools for an indefinite amount of time. This only really works for tools, no old parts, christmas tree decorations, etc. But it works for tools- because everyone can use extra tools around.

A friend did this with me- he was moving, didn't have room for a while and didn't want to get rid of all his tools (power tools, hand tools, large snap-on set) and so I took them into my garage. I had free use of all of them. It was good deal- I needed some more tools but was too cheap to go all-out, he didn't have the room. I figure he'll settle down in a few years and want them back. If not, no big deal. If I need to move somewhere else and need it all gone, he is trustworthy enough to come grab them up and find somewhere else to go with them (it all fits in 1 truck load).
