Googled Ford wrench number.

You guys can BLAME athol tool works for bringing me here. I was looking up information on the wrench and noel had one on the front page of his site with a little story abour giving one away before he found out what it was worth.SO NOW YOU ARE STUCK WITH ME. I belong to other forums but check here first every day .  bob w.   

I stumbled on TT while researching something or other many years ago - long before this "re-launched" version was needed!

I was the 54th member of the original TT and TT was actually the first forum I joined; before Garage Journal (which used to be MUCH better), the now-defunct Garage Hangout, and the replacement Garage Gazette.

I now spend most of my time here & at GG.

Way back when I used to read Mark KW's tool board which was interesting. That may have been called ToolSource at one time too. But it was an older-style forum and they were hard to read, so when GJ started to grow (it was new back then) and had a nicer format, I switched.

I've also read and/or been a member of Practical Machinist, Yesterday's Tractor, Craftsman Tooltalk, Collecting Snap-on and probably others...

I stumbled across TT when researching Stiletto tools and Hamilton Baker hardware company.  Read the page on HB and registered immediately.  That was just before the blowup.

I was referred by my father (jimwrench).  Glad I was. This is a great site with a lot of helpful and well informed people.

Papaw,

Just a suggestion-- you might want to dupe this thread/survey in the Welcome Forum to find out more about the newbies and how they found their way here.

I don't remember.
