Title: Need a keychain?
Post by: scottg on August 23, 2012, 01:56:03 PM
 Hey Gang
 This is kind of a favor, if you want it.

  These are real tool steel wrenches.  I thought they were, but wrote the seller to make sure.
 Just over a buck apiece and I am pretty sure 60 cents will get them out for shipping.
  If enough of us want one I'll buy them and distribute.
 
 What say?  A 2 1/2" long working crescent for a buck fifty each?
 Any takers?

 If you want one, send me a PM with your address. Only 11 are available.
   I want one too. 8^)

Like this one.     Real steel and useable on tiny bolts in small spaces.   I've done it a few times.

Yup Brian just like that.  Except possibly a tiny bit higher quality?
  Not much, pretty similar, really.
 Maybe a skosh better fit n finish?
  They are at least marked with a, who knows what, but a mark of some kind.
   So they weren't totally ashamed of it.

 I kind of have a "mark" system that works most of the time. 
 
No mark?? Bottom of the barrel. Nobody wants to be traced back to the goods, even to buy more.
 They don't want you to know nuthin about who made this!!   

 Any silly made up name??  Globemaster, Wildwood Flower etc, ..........usually equals dreck quality!
  -Nobody- is taking responsibility but at least they want you to know where you can get more.

 Town name?  Camillus, Toledo, Milwaukee, etc,  is almost always much better goods.
 The local boys will likely clean your clock sooner or later, if you are producing inferior goods with their town's name on it.   Even if you are making a big profit on it, if the goods are poor, they will eventually catch you out and whip your ass for you, but good. 
 
 Family name. Smith, Fellows, Johnson.......... They are putting their personal grandfathers name on the company.
  And maybe they are so low they will besmirch that, or maybe they just stole a name from the phone book.
   But much of the time, goods with someones personal family name means they will sit across the thanksgiving table from other people who have the same name for the rest of their lives
(people who know how to push their buttons like nobody else!)
   so they damn well better make it work!

I've used it a few times on 5/16" screws tucked back in that thar hole where you couldn't use anything bigger and get the hand in too.
  The jaws didn't mush up either.   The screw came out and went in so it must be a good tool if it did it more than once.

   That said I wouldn't put a pipe on it and reef on something either.   Its on my keychain actually just riding about when the bigger tools do all the real work.
