Title: Pepsi case w/ wrenches
Post by: HeelSpur on November 22, 2015, 04:15:20 PM: Not much going on today but did pick this up, must be 60 or more wrenches in this box, lots of smalls and flat wrenches. 5 or 6 pipe wrenches and these Williams wrenches. The 3 shiny ones are china.

I'd bet that old wooden case would make a great restored tool tote. Clean it up and but a nice handle on it - really make the young guys at the job site scratch their heads.

That is one sweet bunch of tools. I see the Diamond W crest, big fan...

My father passed ten years ago and I'm just now starting to take a look at his tool collection. Oddly enough I have found a few with my initials engraved on them. :cheesy: Dad had a sense of humor after all.
