Dads old toolbox

[jim whitney]

Found these two guys today in my dads old tool box ,or should I say old tool stash. He had things hanging everywhere and under everything. Seems like every day I find something new.

My dad stashed his tools the same way...hanging from nails, a pile of screwdrivers, a pile of wrenches, a pile of chisels/punches with nails, screws, wire, etc. all mixed in.

Yeah, recently took his old can of misc. bolts home and sorted through them,filled about 6 bins of my bolt storage. Then went through the weird **** that was mixed in with them,un f@&$.ing believable! What he saved! Guess I know how my kids will feel.

My dad had 2 different sizes of the speednut wrench, I loved them as a kid. Since his and mom's passing, I am unable to find them. It's a great tool

I,m thinking of dedicating one toolbox to all these old tools with special applications , and innovative ideas ,so in years to come maybe ,one of my kids, or grandkids, will sit down and look through it and say how did all these old people think of all this? And realize it,s not on an app. It,s in your head.just use it . For what it,s made for. Not staring at an I phone!
