Frank, For the detail and care you put into documenting your projects, and the sort of projects you do...the grandchildren's play house pieces in particular. For what it's worth, your long account of creating your own workshop was one of the things that really got me into this game in the first place...quite inspirational.  see...I'm getting emotional! Cheers, Rick |

Mattfc, I put the label on because it was free and because it was fun. I think that, in doing so, I am making fun of myself.  Ah great.. I like the tongue and cheek nature!! I was just a little worried if it was for real! Now for some other related tool porn.. check these little chappies out, a digital torque screwdriver, which has a slip clutch for when it get the required level  I have after a long search for the festool of screwdrivers settled for PB Swiss Tools, and have some on order, so will be sure to post some pictures  |

We're veering off-topic, but: You will not be disappointed. In the business of making screwdrivers, they're more-or-less in their own league. In the past 30+ years, I've had three PB screwdrivers fail on me, all user error ( one small slit screwdriver used as mini prybar, one bigger slitscrewdriver used as a chisel to "coerce" a big nut into submission, one for laziness, and using a big wrench on a way to small screwdriver in a carter drain plug, instead of crawling out from under the car and get the right size from the workbench. Two were cool reground and now serve a different purpose as a punch and an O-ring picking tool, one was forged in a hook shape and now serves me well as an exhaust suspension rubber extractor hook. I've had numerous other screwdrivers fail, including high-end brands like Wera, Wiha, Hazet. I guess I'm not particularly kind on screwdrivers.....  PB makes some picking tools, mallets and punches and such and these are outstanding as well, but the screwdrivers are the real jewels. Enjoy them! Regards, Job |
