Survey Results: Wrench Popularity

[north]

Thanks to Bolster for the survey and all else who gave their opinion on the tools. Lots of cool info here.
About Urrea, is that something that is available for cheap on the fleamarkets for some of you? Cant' seem to find much on ebay.

Actually, NO! I live here in Mexifornia, I frequent flea markets where everyone speaks Spanish, and I seldom ever see a Urrea. I'm on the lookout all the time for them. I've watched Urrea on eBay and have seen it going for a song in auctions (not in BIN prices of course...BIN *****!). I recollect eBay had some unbeatable deals on Urrea torque wrenches.

No kiddin' Steve? I did knot know that you was edu-ma-cated. Damn shame to waste a mind in school, particularly a master's program. Sorry to hear it. You seem to have survived OK, though.

LOL, yeah it is unfortunate. Personally, I think my electronics tech school during and after the military aged 22 was far better financially speaking. I went back to college at aged 50 or so, and it was a BIG MISTAKE, except maybe for choosing "Jeopardy" categories in economics. "Give me Econometrics for $500 please." Business owners don't want to hire an old man no matter what ya know. And the gubment won't hire me because I'm a conservative white old man.

But I do enjoy being self-employed now.

Oh well, hell, now we ALL have to hate you! Ain't you heard you're what's wrong with America, etc etc? Former military, and a self-employed business owner to boot...the very depth of evil. I bet you don't get many love notes from the current gubment...!

Dale,
Not so...or at least I can report that two different guys have been watching my tool-sorting project, and have separately sent me emails looking for Wizard, Westfield, and Westline tools. So you are not the only fan of Western Auto-branded tools.

And indeed I do have some! Moreover, they seem to be sturdily made, professional grade older tools, too.
