"How To Protctect Your Tools" Booklet By Snap-on

[lilredex]

Recently was given a bunch of stuff, which included a booklet by Snap-on titled, How To Protect Your Tools It looks to be printed in the forties judging by the pictures. It does show what looks like a KR-65 which I believe dates to 1948.

It looks to be a somewhat rare beast as I couldn't anything on it.

I have a couple of pages scanned here, if there is interest, I'll scan the rest.

Pretty neat.
I can't see any company advocating to use gas as a cleaning agent these days.

"Cleaning your tools could disturb micro habitats for potential future species and as such Snap-On does not recommend cleaning any of your tools."

Marketing: Ok does that cover us enough?
Legal: Not even close, but it's the best we can do

Sign me up as well. If you've got the time to do it all I'd appreciate it.

The album should be made into a sticky thread for all the newbies who join and ask how to protect/care for their tools. It will save a lot of time and space on this forum. I bet we see a new thread titled "rusty tools" before the weeks out.

I can take the high-res scans and convert them into a text-searchable PDF if you'd like.

Following. That's a cool find. Old literature is always an interesting read. I have an old mechanics book, kind of a cars for dummy's type book from 1922 that I love reading through. Amazing how times have changed. Can't remember the last time I oiled my wooden wheels

Many thanks for scanning/posting this booklet.

I loved the way all edges are filed and the box is then rubbed down with emery before painting.!
(Just the way I still do things )

You're welcome...it is a fun read. And yes, I am very much old school too as you describe, yourself.

OK, thanks for the offer.

Educate me please. I find a moment of anger coming over me when forced to deal with that PDF format as it seems so unfriendly and awkward...compared to JPEG. That is why I chose JPEG over PDF when scanning those pages.

Obviously, I am missing something...what do others think? To me it does not really matter now as I have JPEG's safely stored away on my computer.

On another topic. Is there a way to rearrange those photos within an album? (I could not find any means there or in the "FAQ")
