I have found the saying "Happy wife, happy life" to be spot on.

Too bad for those of us who don't do FB.

Yes, it is a 79-001. I've got a type E, type 6 and the type 7.

I've got 3 older Workmates. This afternoon I was using all three in the driveway to cut some 12' 2x4s down for a project my wife wanted. After cross-cutting one of the 2x4s in half it slipped off and snapped the right handle off on my Type 7 Workmate. I'm hoping some of the experts here know...

Hey guys! I picked up this vise this morning at an estate sale. It's got "Semi-Steel" and "Pat Pend" stamped on the front of that part of the vise where you tighten it/attach it to a workbench. I can't recall ever seeing one of these and a quick search of "semi-steel" in this forum offered no...

Hey fellas! It's been a while since I last posted. I hope everyone is doing well! I hit a couple of estate sales this morning. The first one close to home was overpriced for my tastes. Headed to the second one hoping the items I was interested in were still there. As luck would have it...

Hey, hey, folks! Long time no see. Where have you been? Just kidding. I haven't hit many estate sales over the last couple of years though I did have some pretty nice picks which I thought seriously about posting here but was ultimately too lazy to do. Anyway, I hit an estate sale this...

Thanks Carl! I will do that.

Thanks four.cycle! Do you know if Wiss eventually stopped selling Heinish branded scissors and when? Anyone, are the numbers (I assume these are model #s) on them meaningful? Are they of any value beyond the obvious sentimental value to Patty whose father owned them and used them?

I'm headed out of town to see two of our grandsons' soccer game tomorrow. Will be back late Saturday and will check the thread then or Sunday. Again, I appreciate any feedback or thoughts.

The other two pairs of scissors...

Hey Guys! I haven't been on GJ much the last almost 2 years. My 80 year old neighbor (we share the same hometown - Fort Worth) was telling me recently that when his wife was much younger her father had a clothing company in Ft. Worth called Patty's of Texas. Just so happens Patty is his...

I could not find a stamp on the metal case or on the tools themselves (although now that I think about it I may not have checked the tool itself for a stamp). Cool, thanks Chris!

That was my guess as well, knowing absolutely nothing about that subject. Thanks for confirming!
