Experience:

These Eklind Hex Sets are from My Red Toolbox and see use on my carpentry jobs. Occasionally used for tool repairs, adjusting door handles, mounting towel bars and the odd hex head bolt, these fold-ups are my back-up hex keys, in case I lose single keys dedicated to the task. Hardware usually comes with a hex key.. but what if it doesn’t… or what if the day before you threw them all out but the one you were using and you left that one …somewhere? I carry both a standard and metric set in My Red Toolbox.

This nut wrench was owned by an upholster. His name is stamped on every tool and multiple times on each one: J. Lainc. It’s almost obsessive how many times he stamped his name on some of the handles, tool bodies and cases. Here is another turn of the century tool from his magic box.

Check out this photo showing the maker’s mark.

Experience:

Yes, I’ve used it. It’s not like I gently place this tool in some velvet case. It’s tossed in with a mess of other hand tools in my “overflow bin” – tools I haven’t hung above my workbench yet, that I use often enough to have them on the workbench shelf. It’s of a hardy breed.

Patent Marked Feb. 26 1901 this Perfect Handle Wrench must have cranked around a lot of nuts. The reverse side of this H.D. Smith Wrench is stamped 1985. Any ideas why?
