Bob, if you ever decide you would like to get rid of some of the tools you used as an auto mechanic ( such as this, I really love this little guy) I would like to have them and I would promise to treat them with high respect like my Dads tools.
I am a bit younger than you and I am guessin that you no longer turn many wrenches on cars but I still make a living this way when I need too.
I have posted some pict. on the old forum of the tools I got and have displayed and still display, just because they are in a fancy display case dont mean they dont still get used, I use them and then put them back.
I cant afford prob. nor do I care for brand name tools, I dont care about a tools value, I care more about learning how it was used, when you got it, what cars have maybe been fixed with it ect.
Lets face it Bob you arent a spring chicken anymore ( no offense ) and for me ( since we have no children and wont ) one of my biggest concerns is who is gonna get all this junk after I am gone thats gonna appreciate it and thats the only reason I make this post.
Again I cant afford to spend hundreds of bucks because I have already spent and keep spendin it on my books but just think about it. Nothin will be sold or traded, I dont do that and shame on anyone that would.
Just something to think about, either way have a nice day.
