		<title>Tricam 10-inch No Flat Hand Truck Tires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just ordered some solid tires to replace the dreaded pneumatic tires on my Harper Hand Truck. After checking with Google shopping I chose Amazon.com for it&#8217;s free shipping and splurged for the Tricam MH2375 Universal 10-Inch No Flat Tire, Red
I chose the red ones because, at the same price, they look ridiculous. A bonus.

		<title>Generic Drywall Jab Saw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tool: A Sheetrock Saw
Guess what tool I needed but didn&#8217;t have with me today! Since I emptied and removed my truck boxes to move something huge, I haven&#8217;t quite returned all the tools to the box. I&#8217;ve been carrying nearly 100 hand tools for the past forever and thought I&#8217;d go through them and carry [...]]]></description>

		<title>Allway Tools Antique Handy Saw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tool: Old Allway Tools Handy Saw.
Sometimes I liken my learning to hacking my way through a jungle, seldom taking time to cut a precise path. In my haste to use a tool to complete a task I sometimes overlook features of the tool, possibly even features that would improve my experience.
I recently added the Allway [...]]]></description>

		<title>Workforce 16oz. Hammer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tool: Workforce 16 ounce Hammer
I keep a few spare hammers in My Red Toolbox. This Workforce hammer cost a few dollars at a nearby Depot and has rarely, if ever, been used.
Experience:
I don&#8217;t need to say much about it except that as an employer I find myself lending a hammer to unskilled labor from time [...]]]></description>

I thought I had already written about three of the compasses that I use in my shop but I can&#8217;t find the article or the images and now I find myself wondering if I dreamt about writing articles that don&#8217;t exist?

		<title>Dasco Pro 3 1/2-inch Cold Chisel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tool: Dasco Pro Large Cold Chisel
Wow, I am glad I haven&#8217;t used this 3.5&#8243; cold chisel from My Red Toolbox in a while. I picked up a few cold chisels long long ago when I did a lot of foundation work. I believe this 3 1/2&#8243; cold chisels is referred to as a Brick Chisel. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eclipse 7CP Coping Saw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tool: Eclipse 7CP Coping Saw
From My Red Toolbox comes a coping saw; the Eclipse 7CP, made in England. Initially, coping wood trim was never a big favorite of mine and happened only when my boss made me. Now, I don&#8217;t mind coping an occasional piece of crown or large base cap for a better fit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Allway Tools Handy Saw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tool: Allway Tools Handy Saw &#8211; Pistol Grip Hacksaw
This hacksaw has been mine since I was a small child. That means it&#8217;s vintage but not quite an antique, thanks. I kept this funky little hacksaw  in My Red Toolbox for metal cuts in tight spaces or the odd emergency cut.

On display &#8211;&#62; one discontinued spare part from My Red Toolbox. I carry a replacement handle for my favorite wood hammers; the Hart Tool Co. Hickory Framing Hammer.
