Let’s start with dad’s other kids first, his tools.

Leave handtools in there tools boxes, though where needed add some padding to prevent excessive movement. If you have expensive tool boxes ensure you wrap them in bubble wrap then heavy cardboard. Be sure not to overpack them and be sure to warn your removalist if handles are broken or weak.

Insure or power tools are disassembled and all parts are back in their carry cases or packed separately, with suitable padding and labeled.

Make sure or oil, gas, fuel are drained from any power tools.

Do not over pack boxes.

Make sure heavy tools are packed separately.

Wrap sharp tools with tools and padding and tape them well.
