Hi again, Im Rob and I live in Madison, Wisconsin. I got started collecting before I was in high school. I took a lengthy break due to high school and college but am now back in the game. I am most interested in farm implement wrenches and tools. Matter of fact, I just went to Kermit Ketelsen's auction yesterday in Cambridge, Illinois and brought home almost 30 new IH wrenches that I didn't have. So glad this site is back!

Hi, I go by Oldpicker. Real name Noel age 60 from Iowa. Always buying rusted and unusual tools and will be asking if you know what the heck is this? My wife and I enjoy picking for antiques to resell at garage sales and shops. Enjoy buying and selling for a hobby. Thanks in advance for info! Noel.

As my username says, I'm a fan of Bonney tools. I think that they were some of the best hand tools ever made.
Glad to see the site up and running again, and the new format is great. Looking to reconnect with all of you!

I agree with everyone else, glad to see we are back up again. I was also on here before. My main interests are screw arm plow planes and odd, rare, quick adjust and unsuual adjustable wrenches. If it is unusual and tool related I'll be looking.

I am another North Eastern PA person. North Eastern Bucks County PA.

Has anyone ever seen another T. W. Fisher's patent pipe wrench like my avatar? February 18, 1890 patent date.

Hi:
Glad to see everything up and running after the "Meltdown".  I was starting to have "Tool Withdrawal Pains" waiting for the forum to come back on line.  My formal intro is I'm a 65 year old-retired shop worker after 34 years-2.5 years removed and loving every free moment of it.  Dedicated Tool Aholic-been buying, selling, trading for 35 + years.  Been trying to prune down the surplus as  space is at a premium.  Currently on a collect "Ratchets" USA and Truecraft(Japan) campaign.  Awaiting some warmer weather for estate-yard sales so I can pacify my quest for more Rats!  Please feel free to e-mail or PM me if you are looking for wrenches, screwdrivers, precision tools. old rusty stuff, sockets-bits & pieces, the list goes on & on.  I may or may-not have what you are interested in-never hurts to ask??  Happy to see Pawpaws up & at um again!!!     Cranky

I'm back in, there's too much combined knowledge available from here to ignore.

I have a large Whitworth wrench collection from most of the Worlds suppliers.

Hey Its me, fliffy42 (aka Cliff). For those that dont know me I am a 48 year old grandfather of 12 with a couple more on the way. I am addicted to the hunt for tools. When I am not hoarding them for myself I am buying selling and trading. I have been married & divorced a couple time but it looks like I have finally found someone to live happily ever after with. Her name is Karen and she is pretty tolerant of my tool fetish. She even has a good eye for finding tools I sometimes overlook at yard sales & flea markets too. Anyway, glad that TT is back on the air!

ps.... my avatar happens to be one of my granddaughters with one of the magnifying glasses I use when trying to read the fine print we often find on old tools lol!

Hello, I introduced myself in a separate thread, but will do so here as well.  I was a member of the old Tool Talk site.  I collect old tools, and old toolboxes to put them in.  What I'm eventually going to do with all these tools and toolboxes will be something for my heirs to sort out.
