It seems that people have found that Millers Falls made good tools, but that is a big price on it.  In my book.  Been looking for one of those for years, prices usually in the 75-200 price range.  I see them for 75 when I have 10 in my pocket!

I only have a few miller falls tools but they sure are good and well built, even for there time they seem to be very well built.


And yes, I aggree its overpriced(at least for me) but I dont see many of them so figured I would share.

I have been trying to get one of these for about 40 years. 
 I always miss.
 
 When I have money they never show up. When I am broke they show up everywhere for 50 bucks in good shape, and no takers!!
