Jesus Christ. If you have $85K in tools then you definitely have enough shit to sell to afford moving over seas.
You're proving my point.
That's not how it works. Ask any professional laborer. It's like I said. You can't sell the tools for much more than a fraction of what they are worth. Part of this is because the tools are often serialized and selling them invalidates the lifetime warranty. You're welcome to check that on Snapon or Cornewells website.
Even if you did sell them it's not something you go out and buy outright in one go. That type of thing happens by buying tools as you need them over time. Meaning starting over with nothing you can't make money without them, but you can't just up sticks and move that tool box without some serious prep and the money for freight costs.
This is exactly what the other person in the comments meant when they said you keep trying to speak as if you have expert knowledge on something you obviously don't.
A steel worker, machinist, A&P licensed tech, or even a wood worker is going to have a lot in the way of skills for skilled labor jobs but also an investment in tools and tooling that doesn't just unbolt from the floor and walk.
You're proving the point of everyone else in this thread when they said there's more to moving over seas than just having a skill set that can be monetized and the ability to apply for a visa and have transportation.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about but you will absolutely not shut up. It's okay. The facts aren't chasing you anymore. You can stop running anytime.
