At the moment I'm working abroad in Perth, Australia (4 weeks on 4 weeks off). Near the location I work at I noticed a Snap-on truck stopping every Monday.

For a couple of months now I've been looking for an old bench grinder to restore and replace my cheap, underpowered Chinese made one. Today I picked one up I liked. It's a Creusen, a Dutch made quality bench grinder. Don't know the age yet, but she's defenitaly old enough to vote. She ran nice...

Thanks to the GJ I now have an addiction scanning the internet for old tool scores. Received these two today and I'm exited! They feel reel solid, one has 'Germany' engraved.
