Art Rafael, a member of Tool Talk has a You Tube channel showing his miniatures he makes. Everything from hammers to miniature engines. He is a retired shop teacher out in Colorado. He made two for me.

Here is mine- made from the handle of a Craftsman 1/4" ratchet.

Here's a ratchet patented by Keystone Mfg. Co. of Buffalo, New York, in November, 1883. I am not the only one that has this ratchet, but few do have it.

That was usually called a "Gentleman's tool kit" and there were many made by several makers. I have at least 5 of them.

I use 3/8 often in small engine work and sometimes just to show a youngster an old school tool.

I have been collecting wrenches for a long time and unless I have put one in a shadow box for display, any of them are likely to be used at least once or twice. My go-bag has a mix of old and new hand tools in it, including two egg-beaters and several Perfect handle tools. I enjoy holding a...

You have a good point. I'll see if that change can be made. Many on the web call a forum a site, even if in error. The registration is straight out of the software, not modified by me.

I don't have any idea why people can't see that the second word in the site name is Talk, and the site is talking about tools! I guess the fact that Papawswrench is the portal name confuses people. I just signed up as logintest with no trouble at all! I am not interested in having thousands of...

There is nothing broken.Most registrants have no problem signing up, but security is tight,due to malware problems in the past. If the above were true, why would a core of good members keep coming back, and why would the same members return after the crash of the domain last year? Admittedly...

Great detective work, guys!

Do you have an updated list of what's left available?
