My grandfather bought these in 1956 and gave them to me when he retired in 1996. I've carried them on many jobs in multiple countries over 3 continents. I hope he's proud that he inspired me to become an engineer.

Good tools last forever. Well done.

He probably had a pocket protector for pens on his short too.

Huh. I didn't realize they were that old of a brand. I have Xcelite screwdrivers right here in my drawer. They have good tips.

I have a toolbox full of tools from that era. They have a distinct smell....
