Only you can answer your question. You know your relationship with your father and each of your personalities. I like having my own stuff and don’t generally like to borrow. The exception to this is my Dad. We borrow stuff on a ongoing basis. I have two trailers but used his trailer today to get lumber. Tomorrow I’m borrowing his nail gun and router. His brake pliers are currently on my work bench and I use his pole saw more than he uses it.
He currently has two of my shotguns, and uses my trailers often. It’s just how we have done things. If it’s a tool I’m going to use often I want my own stuff. If it something like a router that I will rarely use I have no problem borrowing Dads.
I spent the afternoon helping my Son fill the rear tires on his tractor. I took an arm full of tools to his shop to do the project. If I need those tools again I know where they are. Sharing tools with an appreciative Son or Father is a Blessing. The OP's Dad knows this. No worries on his part. No worries on my part about the tools I left at my Son's shop this afternoon.
