Zach,

In my case, I have had to re-define the word "gloatable".  The only 
thing I have found of interest in the last month or two was little 
plastic pouch holding three different sizes of screw drivers for use in 
a brace - each marked Stanley HandyMan.  That's a pretty nasty comedown 
from the old days of things like my $10.00 Stanley Bed Rock No. 3.

I'm in the same situation as John. Haven't had much time to hunt for
gloatable tools. I did buy some beautiful tools at the MWTCA meet in
Chesaning last weekend, but they weren't really "gloatable", although
I guess a ivory and silver rule for $100 is pretty good.
