My beloved offspring is as much of a tool freak as I am. He gets it all. While I still have time left, I'm going to spend the time with him to train him on using my Festool goodies to get his expertise up.
What do we do with all our Festools when we die?

I am not doing anything with them when I die. But those that I leave behind... well, they have some 'finding out' to do on how much is actually there...
Already some other Festool users among those that would inherit my stuff, so I guess there wouldn't be much problems. Pretty much all will probably stay in the family.

Well, I am convinced that collecting additional tools will keep me younger. I am punting this decision down the road until I collect some more.

So far, zero relatives expressing interest in woodworking , or even household repairs.... 
So, if my wife survives me, it's up to her to sell it off. She of course has always had the good taste and thoughtfulness not to ask how much I've got invested in tools in the basement and at work....
But seriously, yeah, if I was the one paring down, the big machines would logically be the first to go , this way heavy lifting is avoided by family members cursing me out after I'm gone......
Some of it will be a shame, cordless platforms that probably will be obsolete as far as batteries go in 20 to 30 years. So, will those cordless tools even find a buyer if batteries are beyond the cost of what a used tool is worth?
