Thanks, Kirk.

I should have undertaken such a Google search myself but, by way of a 
further example of my inclination to jump to unsupported conclusions, 
had come to believe that this brand of tools must have been discontinued 
some time ago in favour of  imports from the Orient.  It is good to know 
that some old style stuff of reasonable quality may still be purchased 
new.
