Today the stuff that is shipped in from China is being sold at the same discount tool stores. I am thinking you have some nice tools to loan people who show up at your door needing a tool. <smile> > -- > Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > I picked up an old 1/2" wrench and break over bar from a > thrift store [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** > > ---------------------------------------------------------- well evan if they are low quality their older and that gives them a little character. that and they cost me $2and been pretty reliable i kinda like them > > dan05 wrote: > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > little character. that and they cost me $2and been pretty reliable i > kinda like them Not implying anything about their quality. They were just sold at many discount tool stores in 50&60s I have some also never had any problems. I also have an old Wizzard wrench they were sold at Western Auto Stores in 40&50s And the many tools coming from China are pretty well made now days. They sure have given a lot of people who could never afford some types of tools a chance to own them. They are worth a buck. > I picked up an old 1/2" wrench and break over bar from a thrift store > for a buck each. can any1 tell me when the last time the co made [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards > Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/General-Discussion-thorsen-tools-ftopict119392.htm l > Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
