I am in the process of trying to figure why I have ten 1/2 inch wrenches my self. I do appreciate folk like your grandpa and your dad. Tools are my favorite thing. I can walk thru the tool section of Sears/harbor freight/Lowes slower than a lady in a dress shop.

Could it be a spreader of some sort? <br /><br />Those old guys were great teachers and taught you well.<br /><br />One day we were out to another town and my car needed repair so we took it to a garage and after fixing the problem, the mechanic wiped all his tools carefully and placed them all in their proper place and then made up our bill. <br /><br />My husband can never find his tools. He sometimes leaves them where he did the job. <br /><br />Having good habits needs some conscious effort where bad habits needs no efforts.<br /><br />I hope you can reap satisfaction for a long time now that your tool shed is all in order. <br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-71212277569808190582017-10-24T01:08:49.372-05:002017-10-24T01:08:49.372-05:00All useful knowledge your have acquired, not to me...All useful knowledge your have acquired, not to mention tools of every persuasion.

(4 1/2 stars; 98 mostly-good reviews) and then I saw your post. Beautiful cement mixer! Too pretty to use, though.
