Hi all
« on: August 30, 2012, 06:14:41 PM »
I've enjoyed working with tools for most of my life, and have often made my living wielding them in one form or another. I'm starting to get old and a lot of the tools I purchased when younger are now considered vintage. My particular interest  is portable power tools, but I can also appreciate the value of a well constructed hand tool. If I had to name my favorites, I would say for power tools it is the Black & Decker Super Sawcat, and for hand tools it would be an Wescott  adjustable wrench or a 3/8" drive Snap-on swivel head ratchet. I hope I can contribute some worthwhile information to the forum.
