All of these tools are in my garage and I don’t get to use them as much
As I want to, and I don’t make money from them I also know how to use all of them and they are not brands that are cheep I have craftsmen to Makita, snap on and dwelt I’m broke and want to make some money
But don’t really know were to get started, I have worked in carpentry, construction and automobile fields if that helps on any thing. Can any one give me an idea?

It seems to me that you’ve spent a hell of a lot of money on this stuff. Presumably, it’s taken at least a year or 2 to accumulate everything. So my guess is if you haven’t had any “revelations” after all this time, your best bet would be to sell it to someone who can put it to good use and invest the money in the stock market. It’ll be rebounding any day now and you’ could make a fortune without leaving your computer desk.
If you’re really determined to be self-employed and don’t have a preference for what you do then choose something that requires the most expensive equipment, because you’ll have less competition. The less competition you have, the easier it is to demand higher prices for what you do.Good luck.

First, you need to chose what you enjoy doing the most. That will make it easier for you to do the jobs and get them finished.
Then. place an ad in the local paper for what it is that you want to.
When you do go to do the work do the best you can and you will see that you will not need to advertise again.
Word of mouth is your best advertising.
All the best and Good luck.
Hope this was of some help.

If you’ve worked in the fields you’ve mentioned, those are your best bet. Find a job in one of those fields.
Or, do “side-jobs” take out an ad, or put out “handy-man” fliers.
Craig’s list, and other websites like domystuff.com are good places to find jobs where you could put those tools, and yourself, to work.
Take care. Don’t work too hard! lol

Try a ad in a local paper for a handy man or husband for a day A lot of people look at the cheaper classified adds that skip the big ones.

Try offering to pressure wash driveways or houses.I do houses also.But you can do driveways for a flat rate & little or no help.
