King **** tools history

[treasureseeker]

I would love to have tools marked King ****, makes me think of the T-shirt my female married cousin found for sale at the Mall with Mrs. Little Dickey. I can’t understand why the person who had it made never picked it up.

I have a 2BA King **** wrench and socket and am in the market for a nice complete Whitworth wrench set. This vendor has a nice assortment of King **** tools:

i recently bought a part of the farm i have been living on the last eight years and with that came some king **** tools and since my fatherin law is also a tool guy fixing his cars and just dawned on me that i will keep with the king **** brand since the tools i got are rather good

"You Want One"

Gets some laughs

In my Grandfather's day **** was quite a common first name, generic for Richard, certainly pre-war.

In my Grandfather's day **** was quite a common first name, generic for Richard, certainly pre-war.

We had a president who was "Tricky ****"....... Richard Milhous Nixon. **** was a common nickname here also for Richard, just as "Jack" was used for John or Jonathan, ie, Jack Kennedy... JFK.

And yes, what a thread resurrection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not buy any tools that are named Kingdick.

Just don't keep them in the same box as Powerfist and you'll be OK.
