Funny. My wife never asked me that about my tools. I'm from Canada, and I moved to the UK to be with her. As I was deciding what to tip and what to keep, she kept saying "Do you really need all these video games? You have so many! There's ones from the 80s and 90s! Just give them away or something!"
After I did the itemised list with current average cost of all my consoles and games, that fit 1 large box and another small one, she stopped arguing.
Those one and a half boxes were worth more than the 4 large boxes of tools.
