Title: Long time no talk
Post by: Lectrolite on July 15, 2018, 06:08:48 PM: Been awhile boys... Been wondering how the hell do people manage two jobs? I'm working 12hrs third shift as a forklift operator then coming home working another 3-5hrs in my shop as a tech on lawnmowers and tractors...starting to feel really drained. BTW this is Dustin for those who remember me

Do you ever run across any other sizes in this series that have the "ALLOY" marked out?

I display a set of their double box offset wrenches with the brake wrench and am working on the stubby ones. Still need a couple.

[/quote]I have a few tucked away in boxes I'm sure. Just tell me what sizes you have and need might be able to work something out

If you have any of the other sizes, I would be interested.
Thanks
