Sometimes there are truck wrecks and cargo fires that damage the goods.

Great gift......Wash'em up, grease the slides and fill it with tools. Then pass it on to the next generation...TIM

I am solid on the Channellocks and they don't make junk. Futhermore, my wife's favorite color is Blue, so she ok's my tool purchases.....TIM

I've used Milton couplers for the past 45 years and as long as they are available, that all I will ever use. Also they are easy to find and USA....TIM

fivespdcat Thanks for the come back on Greenfield Village. My wife was Wanda Ford & our son is Aubrey Ford Cowan. She reports to being kin to Henry. I used to have cousins in Detroit & Southfield but they died off or moved. I drive a Buick and 2 Dodge diesels; I guess I should drive a Ford...

Is GREENFIELD VILLAGE still a good, safe place to visit? I was there in 1971 during a phone company strike time. I loved the place and would like to revisit and take the wife. I would go straight there and spend the day and then go back out of the area to skip the badlands.....TIM COWAN

Second pictures really tell the story. Good Catch!

Those are security screws and they didn't intend by you to mess with them.

Dollar for dollar I think S-K Tools are a great choice. DEMAYO,On my last 1/4 & 3/8 sets I was able to pop the lids off with a screwdriver and use the bottoms in the tool box dividers for storage....TIM

I bought 3 Snap On(Blue-Point) dead blow hammers about 25 years ago and the plastic broke up on all three. Just before Christmas Snap On sent me a new set of three. Good for popping on wheel covers without a mark, too. I also bought 2 other new ones from S-K (tooltopia) last year.

The gray paint came before the red/orange and lasted until late forties. It may have had the leather handle and then been replaced. The leather handles took a beating and deterated with age. I have an old K-21 box that was gray and the leather handle is just in fair shape....TIM

I like their special tools and prices are always reasonable. Their tools also hold-up well.

Re: Did I pay to much? Looks great! Next trip check on metric sizes to add to them....

I need the "oil filter pliers" and it looks like you need them too.

Owner would show up when I was loading it on a truck and I would be shot dead.
