Pleasant surprise!

[Rewind97]

I've got this pair of side cutters that were my father's



My dad was notorious for buying cheap tools, but i kept these because they've always served me well and like i said they were my dad's. Tonight while in the shop and using then yet again I decided to look for a manufacturers stamp or some kind of brand. Inside one handle i found this:

No wonder they've served me so well! What a pleasant surprise!

I got a pair of pliers like that I got at a sale for $2. I didn't even see they were snap-on unti I got home.

Modern laser engraved tools won't be able to tell your grandkids that in fifty years with that much use.

Would you be willing to part with them?
