I haven't been on this site that often in the past few years
I had been here quite a bit while my son was going to college. He got his Associates in Auto Science and got hired right up by Jaguar / Audi.
I had been building a tool set for him, try to keep him out of Snap-On truck debt and I caught the bug. Now I have far more than I need and it's time to start sorting through.

He has an impressive set and here I am a few years later with all the leftovers including quite a few Plumb / Protos of which I've become a big fan.

Here's the question - If you were going to keep one set of open end and one of combo, which would you keep? Plomb Cadmium, Proto Pebble, Proto Los Angeles, Proto "Made in America", Proto "Professional" (Stanley?).......

I like them all, but I vote Plomb Pebble.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

I agree with Yadda. Plomb pebbles are attractive and useful wrenches. I believe that they are going up in value as well.

My combo set is going to be the more common Plomb "made in USA' since it seems I already have a complete set of them.
Open end are going to be the Pebbles. I'll have to scratch up a few to fill that out, the slots in the roll have "Los Angeles's" in them for the time being.
