That's what I did. I got tired of trying to find the tools in his workbox so I bought my own kit. My AH gets frustrated with me when I do stuff around the house that he claimed he would do month after month after month. I just started learning how to do stuff myself and I used my tools to do it. I've become a VERY good painter, drip line/irrigation fixer, and have become quite good at navigating the ladder. Luckily, he doesn't claim the ladder is 'his' because we don't have a place for a second ladder, LOL!
