This morning I ripped open a box that came from Prince George  B.C. Canada.   Curiously hard and stiff contents.   Very imaginatively packed  tools, and things that will be used too.   A pair of P & C wrenches, an iron wrench by Sharples for a cream separator, a pristine Craftsman quarter inch breakover bar,  a curious little iron open end wrench barely 3 inches long,  a bakers dozen drill bits with square tapered shank, 2 of which will fill out sets I've been accumulating for a long time, and the icing is a pair of tiny oil cans that dovetail into my collection perfectly.   All this was packed into a stiff plastic tray that make the trip without anything poking out from the package.  My thanks go out to my Canadian Santa.

my secret Santa did not reveal his or her screen name. but I recived a lovely little 4" crestoloy adjustible to add to my meager 4" adjustable collection. a small wood handled monkey wrench, an SK wayne 1/2" extention, yellow Par-X screwdriver, and a small DBE rounded out the package.

Thank You whom ever you are

I'm a little slow getting my gift posted. I had it sent to my sons place in Oregon rather than to my home up in northern British Columbia ( trying to save Santa a penny or two in shipping costs). My wife and I have been travelling a fair bit in the last week and so has my son but we both got back home today he tells me I got a real nice looking adjustable length Jeweller saw.He did send me a picture but I can't figure out how to get it from my e mail to here. He forgot to tell me who it came from so I hope to get that info and some pics sometime tomorrow. So who ever you are you Santa THANKS A BUNCH it looks real nice and I do have a fair amount of saws of various types so this guy is going to look good hanging on the wall with the others.
