Welcome to VAF!!!!

Aaron, sorry to hear of your loss.

It sounds like you are not interested in continuing with the aviation thing????

I suggest you look for a local EAA chapter, they should be able to help you. Arlington area should have one for sure.

The stuff you listed is certainly worth finding a buyer for.

The DRDT2 is a good mover here, maybe the squeezer too. The dimpling dies will work with either tool----maybe best to sell as a group.

I might suggest finding the new value of the tools. They probably (although not necessarily) came from one of two sites, Cleaveland Tool or Avery Tool. You can get an idea of new value by visiting them. http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/ and http://www.averytools.com/ are the sites. A little looking and you should find them there. Cleaveland's squeezer is quite a bit more expensive than any other, but worth it, so don't get ripped off on that one. Dimple dies are around $36/pair new. Most tools in very good shape will bring probably 60-75% of new value, maybe more. If you can't find an EAA close, you could post them here (in the classifieds.) Don't be afraid to ask what you think they are worth. If you are high, someone will tell you. If you are low, they are gone. Many guys are looking for used tools. Wing jacks, no idea where to find their value. Good luck, and sorry for your loss.
