Title: Scored a Gray Tools Limited Edition Anniversary Book!
Post by: lbgradwell on January 09, 2013, 02:13:11 PM: As some of you will already know, this is the 100th Anniversary of Canada's Gray Tool Company. I learned this morning that I was the December winner of a copy of the Gray Tools Limited Edition Anniversary Book on their Facebook page!

This doesn't compare with Rob's awesome score of a book AND that excellent anniversary toolbox set, but I am happy to get a copy nonetheless!

I am really looking forward to studying this collection of information straight from the source!
