Title: Toy tools, Mr. Goodwrench
Post by: john k on December 04, 2011, 01:08:26 PM
A chain of farm supply stores out this way carry a huge load of toys at Christmas time.   A few years back I was in looking at the post-holiday sales, and they had a few of the Mr.Goodwrench toy tool sets for real cheap.  In my travels I hit a couple of more of these stores, and bought what they had.   Seems like even at that time they were no longer made.  The wrenches look like pot metal, but they're Toys.   Little tool box for holding them, could hold more but I haven't seen any around.  Anyone else latch onto these toys?

I do see those here and there. This year at K-mart I saw Craftsman raised panel wrenches - in chocolate!

I knew the alloy in C-man tools was slipping, but this is ridiculous! lol
