Hey gang
Thanks for the feedback. This has been a fun little journey. I'd never
heard of Twix before, and now I'm stumbling over them. Tony recently
posted a combo square by Twix, and I got a Twix Jobber Drill gauge in an
auction box lot last month. No name brands on the listing, I was after
something else in the lot..

Then, while partaking of a GS (that I mentioned in the EP Nicholson
thread), I also found a Twix 6' folding rule, as a well worn metal rule
(and following pic)

Kinda like getting a new car, suddenly you see the same model everywhere.

Kirk Eppler, enjoying the cleanup from a reasonable rain last night, and
pushing tools around between meetings.
