I came across a guy with Napa tool boards. Not vintage but still kinda cool.
Anyone know who makes Napa tools?

If they are the ones from CL, then I posted them here several days ago. Some have tool outlines, others don't?

NAPA hand tools are made by Danaher tool. I believe they are the same company that makes Craftsman and some others.

Napa hand tools are Danaher as previously stated but more specifically the majority of them are KD

There are still a lot of old stock Napa professional hand tools out there that were made by KD and Armstrong. However, with the demise of the KD mechanics hand tools (the specialty tools still live), new Napa professional hand tools are Gearwrench clones. I am not referring to the evercraft brand but, the used to be US made Napa Professional Hand Tool Line which is now becoming imported. Refer to the current real deals flyer for examples.

He sent 1 picture when I asked him, wants $20 a piece though which seems high to me for Napa tools (I don't collect Napa tools nor do I want to unless it's cheap).
Must be the same guy; the CL ad also quoted $20 each and there were a lot of boards.
$20 per board isn't really a bad price at all, especially since they are close to you and no shipping is involved. I say that as long as the boards have brand logos and tool outlines.
But, if you don't care for the brand anyway, it's sort of a moot point.
I can't imagine used NAPA tools command much money, so I doubt it would be expensive to collect them.

On ebay they seem to go very reasonable, from what I've seen.

Well they aren't exactly vintage like the ones you have Bull. They just look like the standard ones I saw in the 90's. If they were vintage then maybe. I got a vintage Snap-on chisel board for $10 so....
