This question has nothing to do with a POA or an estate. If you can PROVE they are yours instead of his, the tools would belong to you. The problem you will have is proving that; your word will not be good enough if there is a dispute. You should list those tools that are yours and have him sign an acknowledgement of that, assuming you have no other proof of who owns what. Or, keep your property with you.
