I ran across an 8" (really, it's 7 1/2") Harrold's adjustable wrench some time back.  It's the one with the teardrop hanging hole.
I meant to give it to a friend named Harold, even if the spelling is off a bit.  But Harold is the kind of friend that I run into every 10 years or so, so it is still hanging on a hook.
Anyhow, I came up with a diamond logo  H/ NON-TWIST / USA screwdriver today and finally realized that the H stands for Harrold's.
This thing is a lot larger than others I have seen on the web.  The wood handle is 9" with a red band; the round shank is 18".
My question: am I obligated to give Harold the screwdriver too?

I enjoyed an old thread from some of you guys.  Thought you might like to see it again.

Acts of generosity (and teasing, which is kind of built into giving Harold the person Harrold tools) are never an obligation; just fun.

A non-twist screwdriver?  I thought the point of screwdrivers was to twist.  And open paint cans, of course.

Yeah, the main point of a gift is the giving. You shouldn't feel obligated.

I've managed to find a handful of drivers and pliers marked Harrold. No adjustables as of yet.

If he legally charges his name to match the tools then you may have an obligation, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....
