Originally it was for those of us who collected H D Smith Perfect Handle tools and perhaps rebuilt them or in general admired them. Now I say it can be anyone who collects and admires perfect handle style tools such as H D Smith, Irwin, and the German made ones seen often.

I am honored to be a member of PHARTS.
Besides the Irwin's, I have a 10" Ryan, marked RYAN TOOLS, made by the J.J.Ryan Tool Company, Southington, Conn.
Still looking for German ones.

Hello, And here is my stash of H D Smith Perfect Handle Tools!!  I have more of the Perfect Handle style screwdrivers ( not H D Smith, and far from perfect), around here, will post pics when I find them. Regards, lou

But, if you find them, you'll be a member of the PGAWFV  (Perfekter Griff Anerkennung Wiederherstellung und Folter Verein, as best the online translator can do for me; and I recognize that, in proper German, the word order might differ from English), which probably isn't a good pun even in German.

Here is a little German one.

Have not gotten into the shed yet, but I found a picture of a few of my other pieces.

Neat pic.  The screwdriver on the right is really neat.

It is neat, Lou has one just like it pictured above, opened.

Does this one count?

I feel like a raw recruit next to all of you.   

It definitly  counts, just don't know that it is enough for membership. ;-(

Don, thanks for the picture.
Remember seeing a couple in very bad condition.
I keep searching.

My pleasure, Henri. I took a picture of my perfect handle Whitman & Barnes monkey wrenches today.

Nice wrenches, Don.
I bought these years ago from an Army surplus dealer in Amsterdam.

Henri,
Nice collection. The handle on your Whitman & Barnes looks like new. I think that I have a similar Trimo.
-Don

Don, I remember the B & W wrench was still in conservation grease when I bought it.
