I’ve got a set of power tools, my parents have a set of power tools, so did both of their parents. One set of grandparents died and we had 2 stacks in my parents garage and I filled in what I needed but was moving place to place (contracts) so power tool wise I only keep a router, drill, and jigsaw with me. When my other grandparents died he had a set of tools at his house, and one at his trailer up on the St. Lawrence River. Both sets 1,000+ miles from my parents house and 800+ miles from me.
He bought a new riding lawnmower and snowblower for his house 2 years before he passed this year. Craftsman riding mower from 89’ had troubles with so he replaced it 2 years ago and in your 80s. (The neighbors bought the mower, replaced the spark plug and it worked, but he was 81 at the time, so he wasn’t going to bother trying to fix it, but we couldn’t convince him to get a lawn service). So his 91’ Silverado with 38,000 miles, his 2022 Impala with 8,500 miles and all his tools were easier to flash sell than drive from Upstate NY to Florida for my parents who are in their 60s. Thankfully he sold his boat about 4 years ago. (It’s the only thing he used the Truck for, driving it up to the river in spring, and back to his house in fall).
Someone got a great deal on all of his tools, mowers, snowblower, and vehicles I’m sure. Had a 2 year old push mower up at the trailer that I’m sure they just have to a neighbor.
They may just be needing to get rid of them.
