If you marital settlement agreement did not specify the length of time he had to pickup the tools, he is probably entitled to them and my suggest, to avoid court, would be to give them to him. OTOH anything you sold or gave away or that got broke during the past 7 years is on him because his failure to p/u the items in a timely manner is suggestive of abandonment. You don't say why his sudden request concerns you and that could have a significant impact on my answer.

Just give him the tools. After 7 years, it is time to move on.
