I think they act as clutter in my garage/part of a nicely organized shop for my family members but I haven't been home in almost a month so they could be fodder to support someones meth habit by now for all I know.
I try to do basic maintenance and repairs. They've already paid themselves off with the little work I've done myself. Mostly they stay nice and pretty in the box wiped down with wd40.
What I do with my tools? The most expensive tool I got for my shop is my Trajan band saw. So, I have to take good care of it. I use it, clean it after. Same goes with the other tools.
