Now tell the truth Scott, you really bought it because of that nice little
chef's hat knob for a MF egg-beater drill that came along with it.  You
know you have a drill laying around somewhere that was just driving you
nuts because that knob was missing.  Come on now.  Admit it.

How many of you have a complete set 1/4"-1 1/4" and 8mm-24mm of 1960's era
S-K Wayne combination wrenches?  I do.  They were my Dad's set of wrenches
that he used for too many years to count.  Last week, there was some
discussion about things that remind you of Dad.  Well, when you start
talking about mechanics tools, that does it for me.  My Dad loved tinkering
with cars in any way shape or form.  We spent many an afternoon under the
hood of a hot rod he was building or just keeping my old clunker (teenager
car) running so I could get to and from school.  Thanks Dad
