Another tool story

stickandrudderman:

--- Quote ---I suspect that the craftsman tool kit Stick's father bought for him was not a kit of the "Craftsman" brand that we know in the USA.  In the USA "Craftsman" was the store brand of Sears Roebuck and Company (the brand is now owned by Stanley Black and Decker) and was a high quality, but economical tool  with a life time, unconditional guarantee.
--- End quote ---

My Father was a steward on Concorde and was in America every week so yes, it is this brand I'm referring to.

neelyrc:
Stick, please accept my apology for suspecting otherwise. 

Being a gift from your father, I am sure your Craftsman tools have great sentimental value in addition to their utilitarian value.

waltklatt:
I'm also joining Stick in the ranks of just losing my father-1/21/2019.
Will collect all of his tools and sort them out, keeping most and leaving a good set with my mother's house.

It's a joy to see the worn, scratched and nicked surfaces of the old tools.

Walter

Mike Hughes:
I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing, Walter.  I suspect in days to come sorting through the tools will bring back a lot of fond memories of times shared passing them to and working with him.
