Purchased at the PA auction. The box it was in was worth $140 to me. Thankfully there was other goodies that ended up making this one virtually free.

Did you paint that?

Yep. Just the lettering. With a toothpick.

It looks great. Nice job. 

How do you do that with a toothpick? Do you prep it (the toothpick) in any way or just use it right out of the box?

Do you ever forget that one end has paint on it and stick it in your mouth?   

  Virtually free is good. Nice wrench.

Just use it right out of the box. Craft paint works best. Good consistency to it. To date i havent stuck it in my mouth. That could easily change tho.

Carl,  using a tooth pick, do you use the big end or the pointy end ?

I have used q-tips on slightly bigger items.

I will have to play around with tooth picks.

I thought that tooth picks were only for loose chair rungs.

Hmm, using tooth picks for painting....

I am going to have to start using paint brush handles for stripped out wood screws...

Toothpicks are the only thing that is small enough to get small letters painted. I use the heavier round ones. Use the pointy end. Dip, paint a little and dip again. Like using an inkwell pen almost. It works amazingly well.

I imagine you have a good hand for it also.  Those lines are crisp. Most painted logos look hand painted.  Not these.

thanks Carl, this is worth a try, I have enough clunkers to practice on. Frank

Another nice wrench, you have quite the collection.
