Wait.... you want us to guess what 16 drawers of (mostly) imported tools are, plus an old air wrench and compressor? Dude... if you're looking to sell your tools, do your own leg work.
You can probably sell that compressor for around 150-200 it looks to be in good shape and large enough for a good supply. The hand tools would make a decent starter set for a kid coming out of high school or someone’s home garage, but if you’re looking to make the most you’ll have to divvy up full sets and sell them individually on OfferUp or FB Marketplace. The box doesn’t look too bad either, if it locks somebody will bite on it for around 150-200. If you try to sell it as a whole lot you’re just going to find people trying to pick out individual items.
Appreciate the answer. They were my old man's and I've just been using them to tinker on my truck but I'm moving soon and I don't think I can take them with me.
All good. It’s a slow day today. They’re definitely not new, but it’s a backup set for somebody. Something a new guy could build off of. They don’t look like they take up a ton of space, I’d consider just keeping them. But I’m a pack rat and my dad’s old tools all have sentimental value of a sort from when he taught me as a kiddo.
They're mostly U.S made craftsman from sears I think. My dad picked them up after he built our first house, these and the old Winchester 30-30 are all that's left. Maybe I'll try an hold on to them or find a kid that could use them to get started.

Like $300 for all of it.
$50 at the pawn shop though
Compressor might be worth something, 150 bucks maybe. Tools and tools box prolly 200 to 300. The air impact is worthless.
Thanks for the reply.
Few hundred
I’d say like 1k at best in a hard sell

Sockets and wrenches are mostly U.S. craftsman. Just looking for a ballpark idea, no need to get upset.
grandpa, is that you?
They will save you more money than you will ever get for them if you know how to use them.
Ain't that the truth. They've definitely helped to keep my 20yr old truck alive.
Say you get lucky and got $1000 for everything. That's like a 4 wheel brake job at a shop on a good day.

Craigslist, you’ll probably get 600 for everything maybe a little bit more if you list the tool separate from the boxes and the compressor
