Tool: General Tools 842CP Pencil Compass Divider And Scriber
I thought I had already written about three of the compasses that I use in my shop but I can’t find the article or the images and now I find myself wondering if I dreamt about writing articles that don’t exist?

Tool: Dasco Pro Large Cold Chisel
Wow, I am glad I haven’t used this 3.5″ 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″ cold chisels is referred to as a Brick Chisel. It’s about right for halving bricks.

Eclipse 7CP Coping Saw

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’t mind coping an occasional piece of crown or large base cap for a better fit than mitering.

Tool: Allway Tools Handy Saw – Pistol Grip Hacksaw
This hacksaw has been mine since I was a small child. That means it’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.

Hart Replacement Hickory Framing Hammer Handle

Tool: Hart Replacement Hickory Framing Hammer Handle
On display –> 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. Displaying an unused spare hammer handle in April of 2009 is a testament to the durability of the Hart Tool Company hammers, which have been manufactured under a different name for years.
