DIAMALLOY HANDYBOY PLIERS
« on: November 28, 2011, 09:33:26 PM »
I picked these up at an estate sale on Sunday.It was 50 % off everything. I'm surprised these were still there.They are Diamalloy Handyboy from Duluth. Model DH 16.This is the first pair of this style I have ever had.The adjustable wrench was frozen up,but with some Marvel Mystery  oil they freed right up.How popular are these ?

Handiman.  Handyboy.

For 50 cents at the local flea market I bought a Handigirl.

Popular enough to still be around, though made in China or Taiwan.

I went on the AA site and they say that the DH-16 is called a Handiman and the DH-18 is the Handyboy. Mine does say Handyboy on it.
