Scored a Gray Tools Limited Edition Anniversary Book!
« 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!

lbgradwell, Is there any connection between Gray Tools Canada and this English company?
