As a longtime reader, I have to thank GJ posters for all the great information they've provided, it's a truly wonderful resource. Head straight here whenever I need tool guidance instead of trying to sift thru all the garbage in broader search results.
Naturally I'm a fan of quality tools, particularly vintage USA-made, and enjoy bringing neglected old tools back to useful life while maintaining their character and patina. Some particular interests at the moment are Vlcheck and Vanadium Tool Co combination wrenches, Diamond Calk & Horseshoe adjustable wrenches, and pebble-era Plomb ratchets. Working on sets of each.
My favorite "accessible" modern tools tend to be European, especially Wera, Wiha, Knipex.
So.... Hello! Looking forward to joining in.
