if your grandfather 'kicked' you out, I assume he had title, took you to court, and you have no claim to it. If that is the case, no, you apparently would have very little chance of success.

You can sue the person in small claims for the value of the tools. Probably won't collect on this kind of a person. Suggest you don't loan a tool you want to keep in the future. Consider such a loan a give away. Thank you for using Justia, Ask a Lawyer.
