« Last post by Lewill2 on November 23, 2025, 08:02:15 AM »I looked back at my personal messages on here and the PAPAWS cutout wrenches originally cost us $110. I'm still not sure a second batch was ever made or how many were in the first batch.
The messages are dated March 25, 2013, and March 27, 2013, pertaining to the wrench.
