RE: Do you remember how many and which screwdrivers were in the other one you saw on eBay?
I do not. It was some time back. I do recall that the little pouch was in much better condition than the example above - the graphics were clear - as though someone had shoved it into a drawer and never used it.
I could be completely off the mark, but my gut feeling on that model 135TK kit is that it's possible it was made as a promotional item for sales representatives to hand out to accounts or as a freebie at trade shows. I attended many of those in the past (APAA, SEMA, etc.), and there was never any shortage of promotional material available from any number of manufacturers. I think my little model 175 6-inch stainless steel ruler falls into that category as well - it's the only one I've ever seen and I've never seen a catalog listing for it. (It appears in several of my more recent photos here.)
bmwrd0's comment just above raises a very likely possibility. There are (and have been) hundreds (if not thousands) of manufacturers of promotional items made for other companies. Coffee cups, key fobs, and pocket knives were always popular items. We had our company name stamped on all sorts of things that we used as give-away promotional items, and the sales representatives and factories were always happy to provide us with freebie goodies to get their name out to the public:
RE: edit limits:
So... if I am understanding you correctly, I can only edit 15 posts in any 24-hour period? There are (if I remember correctly) about 50 posts in the "list" thread. Adding new entries and editing existing entries might require several days.
I'm sure somebody has their reasons for that, but as I pointed out to one of the moderators, idiots and vandals are an inevitable component of any "forum" type website.
